How old are you??? Stop behaving like a 10 year old and try to analyze the Geo-political situation around India.
You don't want to any development to happen in Pakistan and want them to stay as beggars then complain about Pakistan being a nuisance.
Once there is development in Pakistan and local Pakistani benefits from that, an average Pakistani will also want peace and prosperity. Trade will then flourish between India and Pakistan and trade is only thing that will stop this hatred. Best example is relations between Germany and France.
Instead of making such a huge fuss we should try get make profit from these development in our neighboring countries.
Its time for you to be realistic. This is 2014 and not 1914. This is the era of globalization and if India wants to be a super-power it must take most of all opportunities.

Buddy you tend to go ballistic in your post.
First you talk about traveling to Mars with my MOM :innocent::innocent::innocent:. ISRO is yet to reach the Red Planet.
You then state that when if comes to Pakistan you will always be negative yet to complain about a blast in Peshawar and all the mindless violence. If you hate Pakistan so much then why are you having any reservations of what is happening in their country.
Then you wish to convey something about Saudi and UAE which I frankly didn't understand.
Finally you talk about rapes and murders going unaccounted. Seriously what has Pakistan, Saudi or UAE got to do with that. Rapes and murders go unaccounted is incompetence of Indian police and judiciary. Don't blame that on other countries.
After reading your post I get why our External Affairs ministry sometimes acts like amateurs.

There's a difference between begging and negotiating financial assisitance. IMF will get all its money back with lucrative interest.
As far the US, she owes us billions in compensation as we have suffered $120 billion in fighter their war.
But how would you you understand, you're genetically biased about Pakistan as an average Indian can be.

I wonder how much of geopolitical or geostrategic milieu you understand.
What makes you feel that a country wants a strong neighbour breathing down their shoulders?
Why do think that Pakistan, which is cash strapped, lavishing funds the terrorists for Afghanistan and India?
Why are the Chinese very cleverly supporting the insurgents to include Maoists in India? I hope you are aware that Paresh Barua is currently in China as per the mobile tap.
They want a strong India?

BEIJING: Pakistan and China signed here on Wednesday five agreements for building a new airport and upgrading the Karakoram Highway as part of efforts to develop an economic corridor through rugged mountains and regions torn by insurgent violence.
The signing of the accords in the fields of economy and trade, regional connectivity, energy and people-to-people contacts followed a meeting between President Mamnoon Hussain and his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping.
"Friendship with China is the most important pillar of our foreign policy and security policy," Mr Hussain said in brief comments at the start of their meeting, followed by delegation-level talks at the Great Hall of the People.
Xi Jinping said: "The Chinese people cherish a profound friendship with the people of Pakistan."
The planned economic corridor will incorporate a 2,000-kilometre transport link between Kashgar in northwestern China to the little-used Gwadar port on the Arabian Sea near the border with Iran. That could at some point include a railway and oil pipeline.
The project received a major boost when control of Gwadar port was transferred to state-owned China Overseas Ports Holding Company Ltd in February last year.
Built by Chinese workers and opened in 2007, Gwadar is undergoing a major expansion to turn it into a full-fledged, deep-water commercial port.
One of the agreements signed on Wednesday was a preliminary accord for constructing an international airport at Gwadar. Another was for upgrading a section of the 1,300km Karakoram Highway connecting to Islamabad.
The two sides last year already agreed to build a fibre-optic cable to be laid from the Chinese border to Rawalpindi which will boost Pakistan's access to international communication networks. China is to provide 85 per cent of the financing for the three-year project's $44 million budget, with Pakistan covering the rest.
If the corridor project takes off, oil from the Middle East could be offloaded at Gwadar, which is located just outside the mouth of the Gulf, and transported to China through Balochistan and over the towering Karakoram mountains. Such a link would vastly cut the 12,000km route that Mideast oil supplies must now take to reach Chinese ports.
During his meeting with President Xi, President Mamnoon Hussain said the China-Pakistan economic corridor would prove to be a game-changer in transforming the whole region by generating massive trade and economic activity and opening new vistas of progress and prosperity for the people of the two countries and about three billion people of the region.
The two presidents discussed a whole gamut of bilateral relations and regional and global issues of mutual interest. They expressed satisfaction over the current status of bilateral ties, but stressed the need for more consistent efforts to boost trade from the current $12 billion to the level commensurate to the huge trade and investment potential existing between them.
Underscoring the importance of greater connectivity between the two countries and the region at large, they called for expeditious completion of all projects of the economic corridor which they said would turn the entire region into a vibrant trade, energy and economic corridor, besides taking Pak-China trade to new heights.
They expressed the hope that decisions taken during the meeting of the Joint Cooperation Committee would prove instrumental in implementation of the already identified and mutually agreed projects of the economic corridor on a fast track basis.
The two leaders agreed on further enhancing cooperation in the fields of energy, trade and investment, defence, infrastructure development and people-to-people contacts.
President Hussain lauded the unwavering support and assistance of the government and people of China to Pakistan in its socio-economic development and expressed the hope that it would continue for the mutual benefit of the people of the two countries.
He said Pakistan wanted to benefit from Chinese expertise in the fields of energy, irrigation, agriculture, infrastructure, communications and commerce and trade.
He reiterated Pakistan's support for efforts aimed at bringing peace and stability in the region. "Pakistan believes that China is an important factor of peace and stability in the region," he added.
He invited President Xi Jinping to visit Pakistan this year and said the visit would add a new chapter to bilateral relations and provide great impetus to further deepen strategic partnership. The Chinese president accepted the invitation.
