I would rather live in Pakistan despite it allegedly being a “failed state” according to you over India any day of the week. I’m sure many Indians will agree.

Also, independence at the same time isn’t the only factor. Jinnah made a bad deal for Pakistan and now they are paying the price (the break off essentially said here India, you can keep this land an the entire history of India as a country, we’ll just be this new thing in the side called Pakistan). Because of this, Pakistan is still a baby of a country. About 76 years old. It has a lot of growing up to do.

"I would rather live in Pakistan despite it allegedly being a “failed state” according to you over India any day of the week."

Can you give reasons for this? I have never been to either country, but I know many people who travelled all over india, but allmost none, who traveled in Pakistan, because as a westener you cannot even travel in many places there at all, or in others without police guiding you (and you paying them).

You make so many claims without evidence or even explanation. Extraordinary claims like "I’m sure many Indians will agree." require some evidence, if not extraordinary evidence.

You talk of the bad deal Jinnah made but again don't say what it was. I hope you are not seriously suggesting that the new country name slowed down progress. > "we’ll just be this new thing in the side called Pakistan). Because of this, Pakistan is still a baby of a country. "

I can state my opinion. I don’t owe you anything.

You don't owe anyone anything and I don't demand anything from you. My comment highlights the flaws in your argument for other readers to easily see that your comment is a rant and not a well thought out argument.

>I would rather live in Pakistan despite it allegedly being a "failed state" according to you over India any day of the week.

That's understandable if you're Pakistani and have a nostalgia for home, or perhaps some special affinity for their cuisine, but is nonsensical otherwise.

>I’m sure many Indians will agree.

So you might hear sometimes in Indian social media or op-eds the phrase "I'd rather live in Pakistan" (and to a greater degree "You should go live in Pakistan") but that's almost always used provocatively, because of how ridiculous it is. I don't even think that most Indian Muslims would prefer Pakistan over India.

Any Indian reading your comment is going to have a good laugh.
