Go through that link, and you'll understand that, in a population comparison, if India were to scale down to Pakistan's population levels, or Pakistan were to scale up to India's population levels, Pakistan would still have higher poverty levels.

Yes by percentage.

However in absolute numbers, India has more poverty. That is where I am right.

To be real, it's more of a burden on the world than anything.
