  • If Pakistan were run by patriots and not by the India haters, they could have salvaged the Afganistan and Iraq war by USA for der country and people benifit. However, they used it for der own personal benefits and terrorism against India. They are anything but patriotic. Haters,bigots, etc can hardly damage whom they hate. They are actually bad for der own people and country. We have a lesson here and should never divert on that path, whatever might be our political choices.
  • Pakistan is lucky to have honest and selfless politicians and military people who love the country. They have safely invested Pakistani money in Papa John's pizza franchise, real estate in London, Canada, Dubai, and an island near Australia. These investments have made sure that Pakistani people don't waste their money on luxurious items such as wheat flour, vegetables, electricity, clothing, and education.
  • Since year 2000, Pakistan's nominal growth is just 2.5% while India's nominal growth rate was 9.6%.

    That kid's scream in the ad in the beginning is too loud, please adjust the audio levels. The ad is a lot louder than the rest of the video.
  • @lnagasthya
    Shekhar Ji, you always call fertility rate as "percentage". It's not a percentage. It's a number per woman
  • @kichuin
    Oh, this is not the abridged version😅
  • A chapter on Pakistani military budget as part of national budget and a comparison to their education budget would have clarified the issues better
  • @rachitgupta1470
    Pakistan’s public debt interest payment is around 60% of net revenue and not 65%
  • Shekhar ji, with all due respect i don't think you completely understood the 1 grave 2 body metaphor 😂
  • @Om-ty7tl
    Fertility rate of Muslims in India And demographic disaster in India We want cut the clutter on this
  • @rpmittal50
    A strong Pakistan has always been a big headache for us. Right from 1947 they have used their resources to mount attcks on Indian nation. So it is a good opportunity for us to ensure that Pakistan has to increase their expenditure to defend themselves and save their establishment. A permanently bankrupt Pakistan should be one of our main aim of Pakistan policy.
  • @Seymour-d3t
    There is no way Pakistan can pay back its debts. The only thing that Pakistan can do is to declare bankruptcy. 😊
  • Why on earth are we talking so much about this country to give a false sense of pride to us Indians. We don’t care about this or other failed nations sir. Talk about China and teach the population how we can reach their per capita levels if tried
  • @Shaan887
    SG and IMF looks like same addiction, Pakistan. Let's move on.
  • Shekhar has still not realized that TFR (total fertility rate) is not measured in %. That number does not mean a percentage Gupta ji. So when you say a TFR of 3.4, it's not 3.4%, the number means there will be 3.4 children per woman in Pakistan. Basically, an average woman in Pakistan bears 3.4 children over her lifetime. This is why the replacement TFR is considered 2.1 (2 people die & 2 people should be born) for population to remain constant. The extra 0.1 is to account for child mortality.
  • @jitmick
    Saudis and Chinese will bail them out anyways, the remaining will get a haircut and overseas Pakistani diaspora will keep the remaining...Kenya would have been a better case study

    Ye jo dehshatgardi hai, uske peeche WARDI hai. Free Imran Khan, he needs 'Kaali Dal' 😅
