The last few days have been very painful for Haq

Haq's next post "Should a poor nation like India waste money on luxuries like food for hungry children when millions don't have toilets?"

You would too, if you put yourself in our shoes. Not the abusing part, but the loving his presence part. It's human nature to feel elated at seeing jealous people trying vainly to belittle our accomplishments, however humble they may be.Indians and their fetish for Riaz Haq.
They abuse him and at the same time love his presence.
Too bad @RiazHaq will have to come up with a different reason why India shouldn't be spending anything on Space!!!
(Not) to rub it in, but India seems to have got both -- space program and a better Hunger Index (albeit we've still got a lot of ground to cover!).
OTOH, not investing on Space Program didn't help Pakistanis even with their hunger numbers. Let us hear what @RiazHaq has got to say about this (with his fancy graphs)!!!
Well Said Bro! Appreciate it.Congratulations Indians for your achievement feeding more mouths mean happiness from the lower class.. Go on India perhaps it is not our time now but wish us luck!! and may we remain peaceful.
Bro I understand and I am not objecting to posting news about India moving up on this scale- that is good news. But i have an issue with whomever framing this (relative) success in the context of Pakistan. I understand the petty mentality that is behind this but it is this kind of thinking that I think can get out of control and be toxic if all india is interested in is beating Pakistan India isn't going to raise up to where it can be and won't achieve all it should.Well you know why that is, on PDF. Any time India does something that Pakistan cannot hope to do in their wildest dreams, the hunger trolls have a field day lamenting about hunger in India. Whether we aquire a nuclear sub, or put a satellite in orbit around mars, or give four million dollars to Palestinians to rebuild their homes - people like @Icewolf will jump in with crocodile tears for India's poor. So a news like this will be highlighted by Indians, to remind Pakistanis that Pak is not Norway either.
On other platforms, like our media or public discourse or polity circles, nobody indulges in pointless comparisons to Pakistan. We are raising our living standards for our benefit and quality of life - what Pakistanis think of us is really the last of our concerns.
India has done well to go from substantially behind Pakistan on this front to quite far ahead (relatively) but this should be the spring board to further success and India needn't look backwards now.i cant post the link yet......small number of posts.
i wanted to give ghi (global hunger index) score of all south asian countries but now that i have to write it

best performer is bangladesh from 36 to 19 ........ and srilanka as expected is best in south asia.......i hope india doesnt look backward but what you said about comparison with pakistan, there is a context to it ....at least here in this forum.........though i agree that welfare of people should be free from all those bragging and motives we display at pdfIndia has done well to go from substantially behind Pakistan on this front to quite far ahead (relatively) but this should be the spring board to further success and India needn't look backwards now.
