‘Pakistan’s poverty rate higher than India, B’desh’

[Feroze]

No doubt Pakistan suffers severe poverty. But claiming it's "worse off" than Bharat & Bangladesh casts doubt, considering their governments are notorious for fabricating stats, going back decades. Not to mention their overcrowded hygiene levels are worse; especially Bangladesh.

I would imagine India's and Bangladesh's extreme poverty is worse than Pakistan's extreme poverty.

This statistics are really messed up.

One has to go to the countries and see for themselves.

Not sure about BD but you have a point about IND. While overall poverty maybe worse in PAK than IND, I suspect the bottom 20% of IND is worse than bottom 20% of PAK.

Correct, my Indian guest. I assume India's extreme poverty is worse than Pakistan's extreme poverty.

However Pakistan has more poverty percentage than India in recent times.

If it wasn't for the incompetent military rulers we wouldn't be in this mess.

I see it online and only need to use my common sense. Bharati stats claimed 70% literacy. Yet those same 700 plus million have no toilets. The Bangladeshi stats claim the country has twice the income per capita as Pakistan. So obviously the stats are fake.

Meanwhile Bangladesh:

Meanwhile Bangladesh:

Literacy rate is close to 80% in India. 73% was the figure in 2011 (National Survey). 700 million without toilets? Where are you pulling those figures from? Yes there's still a substantial population without proper toilet facilities comparative to the population but your claims are childish. I reckon even Pakistan would have a substantial amount of it's population without proper facilities. It's all relative to the population anyways.

This thread is on multidimensional poverty as per UNDP and other bodies.

One of the reasons of our present situation is our comparison needle towards the lowliest possible scale to the East. We needs to make our role model to countries like China, Malaysia, Indonesia etc not to some uncivilized garbage dump.

We have a lot of trolls on this forum, mostly belonging to the Pakistani liberal left, found most commonly in Muhajir (including East Punjabis) & Sindhi elites who promote this kind of tosh. They pollute our media with this.

FYI i am also of Muhajir & Sindhis descent. A lot of times I pointed this on the previous forum but only got called out for it.

Meanwhile Bangladesh:

Bangladesh may have a larger economy than Pakistan.

But at least Pakistan is not a least developed country like Bangladesh.

Pakistan is a much better country than Bangladesh.

We have a powerful military and more human resources of 260 million people.
