@Singh, when I said pakistan and bangladesh are clubbed together, I was refering to the statistics of the post I quoted. In the same post I also mentioned bangladeshis are more deprived but not sure how much effect it has on overall score. Yes they are indeed similar as you have posted above.
I used to live in the UK a long while ago (1980s). Initially, Indians, Pakistanis and Bangladeshis were all clubbed together as South Asians. i did not like that but that is beside the point. A very large number of "Indian restaurants" were run by Pakistanis or Bangladeshis who were quite happy to call themselves Indian. The surest test of whether a restaurant was truly Indian was to ask for masala dosa.
But gradually over the years Pakistanis showed that they had a unique (and mostly reprehensible) character of their own that set them apart. Taxi drivers started recognizing that i was Indian and not Pakistani because I spoke English. Pakistanis were visible because they continued to wear shalwar-kameez where the kameez would stick out a mile below the bottom of a warm jacket worn over it. Last and most important Pakistanis gradually slipped into what Pakistan and Pakistanis are really good at
1. A sense of indignant entitlement without working. i.e dole and council housing
2. Poor economic performance (Allah will provide)
3. Poor educational performance (as long as there is Quran, why study anything else?)
This was combined with increasing Pakistani origin involvement in street violence and crime, honour killings, and illegal immigration. At one stage Indians started protesting at being clubbed with Packees as "South Asian" and over the last few decades Britainistan has figured out that there IS a difference. There are two different nations.
On a visit to the UK in 1993 A Pakistani, clearly a Pakjabi and a supporter of then PM Nawaz Sharif was boasting about the strength of the Pakistani Rupee and how it was fully convertible (I guess it was always fully convertible into terror but I did not ask) . Why doesn't Pakistan rename its currency as Dinar or Riyal Why remain stuck in the subcontinent (but I digress)
But I am glad to see the UK being taken over by Pakis. They deserve it. It was the Brits who imported and kept a large number of Punjabis from Bahawalpur pretending they were Kashmiris to play big power games as a fading power and put pressure on India. I would love to see the queen buried in a burqa and Prince Philipuddin greet everyone with a Bismillah ur Rehman ur Rahim. That would be real justice for Pakistan and britain.
i live in hope...
