Riaz Haq vs Husain Haqqani on India-Pakistan Relations

Hussain Haqqani is the biggest chutiya Pakistan has produced. He should be given to foreigners so that they can play with him and get over their frustration of why despite having made so many efforts, not being able to undo Pakistan.
 
As the article said Hindus like Hussain Haqqani and Fatah very much because they exaggerate India's strengths and Pakistan's weaknesses.
 
The answer is simple: Authors and publishers of books about Pakistan know where the money is. It's in India where the book sales are rising rapidly in the midst of continuing global decline. Strong profit motive drives them to write what Indians want to read. Those, like Professor Wendy Doniger of University of Chicago, who ignore this reality are punished by having their books withdrawn and pulped. No publisher wants to take this risk now. And authors who wish to get published have to understand it too. India's English language book market is the world's third largest, behind that of the United States at the top and of the United Kingdom at number 2. It is the fastest growing market today which will make India the world's number 1 market in the next ten years. It could happen sooner if the book sales in the US and the UK decline faster or those in India grow more rapidly than they are already. http://www.riazhaq.com/2014/12/book-sales-in-india-profit-motive.html
 
Credit Suisse: Avg adult in #Pakistan 20% richer than avg adult in #India. Pak median wealth 120% higher than India http://www.riazhaq.com/2016/11/cs-wealth-report-2016-average-pakistani.html

Average Pakistani adult is 20% richer than an average Indian adult and the median wealth of a Pakistani adult is 120% higher than that of his or her Indian counterpart, according to Credit Suisse Wealth Report 2016. Average household wealth in Pakistan has grown 2.1% while it has declined 0.8% in India since the end of last year.
Here are the key statistics reported by Credit Suisse:

Total Household Wealth Mid-2016 :

India $3,099 billion Pakistan $524 billion

Wealth per adult:

India Year End 2000 Average $2,036 Median $498.00

Pakistan Year End 2000 Average $2,399 Median $1,025

India Mid-2016 Average $3,835 Median $608

Pakistan Mid-2016 Average $4,595 Median $1,788

Average wealth per adult in Pakistan is $760 more than in India or about 20% higher.

Median wealth per adult in Pakistan is $1,180 more than in India or about 120% higher

Inequality:

Median wealth data indicates that 50% of Pakistanis own more than $1,180 per adult which is 120% more than the $608 per adult owned by 50% of Indians.

The Credit-Suisse report says that the richest 1% of Indians own 58.4% of India's wealth, second only to Russia's at 74.5%. That makes India the 2nd biggest oligarchy in the world.

The CS wealth data, particularly the median wealth figures, clearly show that Pakistan has much lower levels of inequality than India.

World Bank Report:

A November 2016 World Bank report says that Pakistan has successfully translated economic growth into the well-being of its poorest citizens. It says "Pakistan’s recent growth has been accompanied by a staggering fall in poverty".

Rising incomes of the poorest 20% in Pakistan since 2002 have enabled them to enhance their living standards by improving their diets and acquiring television sets, refrigerators, motorcycles, flush toilets, and better housing.

Another recent report titled "From Wealth to Well Being" by Boston Consulting Group (BCG) also found that Pakistan does better than India and China in translating GDP growth to citizens' well-being.

One particular metric BCG report uses is growth-to-well-being coefficient on which Pakistan scores 0.87, higher than India's 0.77 and China's 0.75.

Big Poverty Decline Since 2002:

Using the old national poverty line of $1.90 (ICP 2011 PPP) , set in 2001, the percentage of people living in poverty fell from 34.7 percent in FY02 to 9.3 percent in FY14—a fall of more than 75 percent. Much of the socioeconomic progress reported by the World Bank since 2000 has occurred during President Musharraf's years in office from 2000-2007. It has dramatically slowed or stagnated since 2010.
 
#India doesn’t have power to take territory from #Pakistan: Farooq Abdullah. #Kashmir https://goo.gl/rBzDPk via @NewIndianXpress

SRINAGAR: Amid heightened Indian-Pakistan border tension, Jammu and Kashmir’s former Chief Minister and opposition National Conference president Farooq Abdullah has dared Narendra Modi government to reclaim Pakistan administered Kashmir (PaK) from Pakistan saying it does not have the power to take it back.

“They say in parliament and there is a resolution that PaK is India’s territory,” Abdullah said while addressing party workers in Kishtwar area of Jammu province.

“Arre Tumhare Baap Ka hai kya. Tumhae pass wo takt nahi hai ki tum wo hissa vapas le sako (You don’t have the power to take the territory back),” he said.

Abdullah, who was three-time Chief Minister of J&K, said PaK is presently under the control of Pakistan.

“It is not the personal property of India so that it could make a claim over it like an inherited property of forefathers,” he said adding, “Pakistan is one of the stakeholders of the Kashmir issue, which even India has accepted”.

Stressing the significance of dialogue between New Delhi and all stakeholders in Kashmir and externally with Pakistan, Abdullah said, “Sooner or later, the central leadership will have to talk to Islamabad for lasting peace in the region”.

He said the solution to Kashmir problem lies in a sustained dialogue process and not in military might or aggression on the LoC and the International Border.

Very well said!

Selling your mother for money, despicable, to say the least.

He's a professor(or lecturer) at Boston College which hovers at the top 35 universities in US.
So what? That is supposed to give his rants & lies, credibility?

You might as well change your name to something Indian, and show your true flags as well.
 
RiazHaq had made a mistake of comparing across times. The times of Bhagat Singh were different. People had very few options to express dissent. Times have changed. Violence in not acceptable anymore. You cannot compare violence in neolithic period when people used to kill each other with out any consequence of law to now, when killing for whatever reason is punishable by death

A better example is Mukhti Bahni, which bharat considered freedom fighters but Pakistan considered terrorists. Clearly bharat has played with "good terrorists" and "bad terrorists" as well, still does today when supporting terrorists in Balochistan.

He's got influence in the US sphere, you don't just get a professorship on being an ambassador. He's filling a requirement that the US needs to shape future Foreign Service Officers. BC is heavily recruited from for the US State Department.

Look at what he's teaching Pakistan Politics, who has Pakistan produced to speak for it's behalf? I've said this before on other threads.

My flags are correct bhai, i'm a Pakistani-American, not that flags should matter.

Even though I'm not a Pakistani, but Pakistan is my second home. I'm proud to fly it. But why are you ashamed to fly yours?

I did fly Pakistan US flags, but when the mandatory flag policy came out both US flags came on for me, i've tried to look into changing them but can't.
