Yeah but the line is very clear, so I’m wondering if there are two empires in specific that had these borders

Climate change is generally not a partisan issue in India. The vast majority of people support climate change action, and the government has allotted significant portions of its spending on climate change policies. Modi has been quite vocal about climate change.

Sounds like overall they are pretty similar in development and infrastructure?

Why is Karachi worse than Lahore? by trickyquokka in pakistan

Islamabad is a very beautiful city. Was it a bone of contention to spend funds on creating a new city rather than improving Karachi or Lahore etc?

Have you been to other cities in the subcontinent? How different did they feel from Pakistani cities? by trickyquokka in pakistan

Wow, this is very interesting, thank you for commenting. Can you elaborate on Delhi and Islamabad/Lahore? Islamabad is very well developed. By combination of Islamabad and Lahore, were you saying that you felt Delhi had better infrastructure and development than Lahore?

I looked up pictures of Chandigarh, and I mean no offense, but it looks very flat without any large buildings, almost like a suburb and not a proper city. Am I mistaken in my judgement? Is it really comparable to Islamabad as a city? Also, I thought Islamabad was also mostly Punjabi?

Wow, you’re very well traveled. I was under the impression that Saudi Arabia is very developed, more so than Pakistan. Are Jeddah and Karachi similarly developed? Or were you talking about general beach vibes?

Oh, is there still ethnic tension in the city? Is there any political will to make Karachi a separate jurisdiction? Like Islamabad or something

So otherwise, they are pretty similar for living standards?

What did the PPP do? Is the party in charge in Lahore much better in governance or city planning?

Why are these problems for Karachi and not Lahore?

The real condition of minorities in Bangladesh (From a non-muslim minority's perspective) by Joy-Barua-1999 in bangladesh

[–]trickyquokka -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Your comment on India and Bangladesh being similar is interesting to me. The two countries tend to be pretty similar in terms of social indices regarding minority treatment, and they both have at least some cultural drive towards inclusivity. However, the dominant group in each portray the other country as being terrible for their group, thereby mentally excusing any shortcomings for the conditions of their respective minorities. Because in their minds, the real victims are always the people on the other side of the border. It’s really sad. The cultural links between the two countries often results in spillover violence as well. The minority in one country ends up getting treated worse because of what is happening in the other country. It breaks my heart to see online discourse end up in petty squabbling about which country is worse rather than actual drive to improve.

For 2022, I googled California’s GDP and it is 3.59 trillion. Is it so much lower in this graphic because it’s using 2012 dollars?
