#2 You mean like a responsible member of the world community?
One that pays real money for stuff.
One that doesn't export terrorists?
Sort of a respectable country?

Seems the onus is on you...

#3 Pakistan is a begger nation, demanding cash from more successful nations. India is a nation that stands on its own feet. Pakistan asks for forgiveness of its obligations, India pays them.

Can't treat Pakistan and India as equals until Pakistan BECOMES India's equal. That will never happen.

#4 surely there's a low-enough caste in India we can compare them too?

#5 In India, Muslims and "Untouchables" have been Presidents, Defence Ministers, Governors, Chief Ministers, Army Generals etc.

The Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh (which would be the world's fifth most populous country if it were an independent state) is an untouchable, and a woman.

The same cannot be said of Pakistan. No non-Muslim has occupied any position of real power in Pakistan.

#7 perhaps I shouldn't have used the semi-official "caste".
I was thinking more along the lines of:
"beggar, thief, back-knifer, loser, extortionist, pompous asshole, Islamic Supremacist..."

/need I continue?

#8 Ah..
with 18% of the world's population, there are millions of undesirables to compare them to.

* SAME > CHINA BUILDS/ ESTABLISHES A PEARL IN SRI LANKA + CHINA GROWS MORE IMPORATNT TO SRI LANKA.

On that note, INDJUH'S GOVT wants to base ADVANC SU-30'S WARPLANES on new air bases in the ANDAMAN ISLANDS.
