which is a better nation INDIA or PAKISTAN?

Answer 1

I definitely think people should judge nations. Countries like North Korea, Iran, and the Sudan are threatening the lives of millions, in some cases threatening the entire world. So in that sense one nation can be judged greater than another.

I believe culturally and politically India is a stronger nation.

Answer 2

Robin, I am of Indian Origin. So, I obviously think India is better. But read my complete answer and you make the call.

One sees no or very little evidence of conscious measures taken by successive Governments in Pakistan in the last 59 years to promote national integration. Perhaps they had taken it for granted that all the conflicting regional interests would give in to the unifying force of Islam. But they closed their eyes to world history, which is filled with wars between Muslims and Muslims and between Christians and Christians for their national and economic interests.

Mohammed Ali Jinnah, who rode on the anti-Hindu wave to reach the goal of Pakistan, had apparently visioned the havoc the Islamic interpretations of his two-nation theory would cause if the new State did not opt for secular democracy. Mr.Jinnah's unexpected advocacy of secular democracy in the course of his address to Pakistan's Constituent Assembly on August 11, 1947, could be the result of this realization. Had Pakistani leaders followed their Quaid-e-Azam's advice, Pakistan, with its talented men and women and bountiful national resources, would have become a great, prosperous democracy of the world. But his advice came too late when he was about a year away from his death. He was heard and obeyed when he ignited communal passion. But he was ignored as a spent force when he talked of unity of the Pakistani nation irrespective of caste and creed.

Anti-democracy forces had already chalked out their post-Jinnah agenda. Seven months after Mr. Jinnah's death in September 1948, the very same Constituent Assembly whom he exhorted to follow secular democracy (where the State would have no religion of its own), passed the controversial Objectives Resolution, which made Islam the basis of the would-be Constitution.

The uncivilized practices of honor killing and Wani (where girls are forced to marry against their wishes as a settlement of murder cases) are carried on without any fear of courts and the Pakistani Government. That Pakistani Taliban's control of parts of tribal areas should cause no surprise. No surprise also when the NWFP State Assembly condoles the death of Ayman Al Zawahiri though General Musharraf's Army is supposed to be fighting Al-Qaeda too.

Like the Islamists, the Army also took advantage of the two-nation theory and attacked Kashmir to ultimately claim itself to be the defender of Pakistan's borders and more so of its ideology. That invested it with a jehadi status. The Army has made full use of this status to rule Pakistan directly or indirectly for the past 55 years. Both the Islamists and the Army are allergic to democracy and that is the secret of their camaraderie. Both have been a great stumbling block in Pakistan's national unity.

The Pakistan Establishment seem to believe that what it cannot do by ensuring democracy and economic and social justice it can do by raising an external bogey. In 1965 Ayub Khan forced a war on India and spent crores of rupees on popularising the Crush India slogan. This slogan generated such a strong anti-India frenzy that Pakistani papers later wrote that never before the people of Pakistan displayed such a "unity". The present Musharraf Government, too, subtly uses this slogan.
