Since the repeated assertion of India as a failed state was made by the Pak poster, here is a definition of the same :
Failed States
"Failed states can no longer perform basic functions such as education, security, or governance, usually due to fractious violence or extreme poverty. Within this power vacuum, people fall victim to competing factions and crime, and sometimes the United Nations or neighboring states intervene to prevent a humanitarian disaster. However, states fail not only because of internal factors. Foreign governments can also knowingly destabilize a state by fueling ethnic warfare or supporting rebel forces, causing it to collapse."
Now, from a neutral perspective, which country fits this bill - India or Pakistan?
Who has drones in their territory?
Who regularly receives IMF and US aid for basic governance?
Who has daily communal clashes in their region?
Frankly, posting such information (especially comparison graphs) is shameful for anyone to see when their country lags in everything compared to their neighbour but not doing that may cause illusions of grandeur and misplaced audacity. :thumb:
