I know that but they're not Muricans bruh. In fact almost no one does this beside the Americans.
Even Indians don't do these kinds of theatrics although being the global hub of cricket.
Hire some aerobatic teams. What are they trying to prove by flying military jets in a Champion's trophy match? It's like a bald person doing hair dye.

Talking about 150 years..eh!?
Where was Pakistan before partition btw?

GJx1wuuakAAd_7U.webp

During partition India had way more poverty & illiteracy rate than what Pakistan had. Even with such a small population they had hardly been able to manage Pakistan.

Only after 90's India's economy came out of license Raj. Previously India was grossly managed as well.

Pakistan's economy never grew. It has been having a free fall for the last 75 years. Now the pace only increased only.

Inbreeding makes them stupid & ignorant.

Busting this 'muh we had better indicators reeee' cope here because I see too many guys from our side eating it up. India has always maintained a more advanced economy - even during the old socialist era. The nation had decent industrial base, undertook land reforms, maintained stronger institutions and were capable of building efficient irrigation and flood control systems (something these inbreds can only dream of even today).

Even in 1991, when the GoI went to the IMF, the nation maintained a semblance of fiscal discipline, its fiscal did not go kaput and could stage a strong recovery once the shackles were taken off. 'Muh better indicators' means fuck all when one country has a PCI of $200 and the other is at $220, when one has a literacy rate of 35% and the other is at 37% - they are essentially the same. And even that was because the pakis were good at wh*ring themselves out to Uncle Sam even back then. Eventually, all that cold war era aid money dried up and pakis went back to eating grass.

To compare the economies of India and Pakistan decade by decade since 1947 in terms of GDP, foreign aid received, economic growth, and industrial capacity, we need to analyze historical data and trends for each period. Below is a comprehensive comparison:
1947-1956: Post-Independence Foundations
  • GDP: Both countries started with similar per capita GDPs, approximately $700-750 in 2011 international dollars. India's larger population gave it a higher total GDP.
  • Foreign Aid Received: Both received aid from the US and other countries for reconstruction and development.
  • Economic Growth: Both experienced moderate growth of 3-4% annually during recovery from partition.
  • Industrial Capacity: India had a slightly stronger industrial base, while Pakistan was more agrarian.
1957-1966: Diverging Strategies
  • GDP: Pakistan's per capita GDP was higher than India's by the end of the decade.
  • Foreign Aid Received: Pakistan received significant military aid from the US, while India received food and economic aid.
  • Economic Growth: Pakistan achieved higher growth rates (6-10%) due to export-led policies, while India's growth was slower (3-4%) under a socialist model.
  • Industrial Capacity: Pakistan expanded its textile and manufacturing sectors, while India invested in public sector industries with some inefficiencies.
1967-1976: Shocks and Policy Shifts
  • GDP: Pakistan's per capita GDP remained higher, but the loss of East Pakistan in 1971 affected its total GDP.
  • Foreign Aid Received: Pakistan received aid post-1971, while India continued to receive aid but started focusing on self-reliance.
  • Economic Growth: Both countries experienced slower growth due to political and economic challenges.
  • Industrial Capacity: Pakistan's industrial growth slowed due to nationalization, while India's public sector industries expanded.

Comprehensive Economic Survey of India and Pakistan (1947-2025)
This survey provides a detailed decade-by-decade comparison of the economies of India and Pakistan since their independence in 1947, focusing on GDP, foreign aid received, economic growth, and industrial capacity. The analysis draws on historical data from international databases and economic histories, adjusted for consistency where possible, primarily using 2011 international dollars for GDP comparisons to account for inflation and purchasing power parity.
Methodology and Data Sources
The comparison relies on data from the Maddison Project Database (Maddison Project Historical GDP Data), World Bank indicators (World Bank Data Portal), and historical records from Wikipedia and USAID reports. For early decades (1947-1960), estimates are based on population proportions and per capita GDP figures, given limited direct GDP data. Economic growth rates are sourced from MacroTrends (India GDP Growth Rate) and Pakistan GDP Growth Rate). Foreign aid data is compiled from USAID histories and Wikipedia pages on foreign aid to both countries.
Decade-by-Decade Analysis
1947-1956: Post-Independence Foundations
  • GDP: At independence, India’s GDP was estimated at $213.7 billion in 1990 international dollars, with a population of 345 million, yielding a per capita GDP of approximately $620. Pakistan, with a population of around 70 million, had an estimated GDP of $43.5 billion in 1990 international dollars, or roughly $621 per capita, based on proportional estimates. By 1950, using 2011 international dollars, India’s per capita GDP was $702, and Pakistan’s was $747, reflecting similar starting points. Total GDP for India in 1950 was approximately $253.5 billion, and for Pakistan, $56.025 billion, given populations of 361 million and 75 million, respectively.
  • Foreign Aid Received: Both countries received aid from the US and other nations for reconstruction. India benefited from PL 480 food aid, while Pakistan received initial military and economic assistance, particularly from the US, aligning with Cold War strategies.
  • Economic Growth: Both experienced moderate growth of 3-4% annually, recovering from partition disruptions, with India focusing on five-year plans and Pakistan on agricultural exports.
  • Industrial Capacity: India inherited a marginally stronger industrial base (e.g., textile mills, steel plants), while Pakistan was predominantly agrarian, with limited industrial development.
1957-1966: Diverging Strategies
  • GDP: By 1960, India’s per capita GDP reached $813, with a population of 439 million, totaling $356.5 billion in 2011 international dollars. Pakistan’s per capita GDP was $877, with a population of 93.7 million, totaling $82.1 billion. Pakistan briefly led in per capita terms, driven by export-led growth from East Pakistan.
  • Foreign Aid Received: Pakistan received significant US military aid, averaging $200-300 million annually by the late 1960s, while India received around $500 million yearly from multiple sources, including the Soviet Union and World Bank.
  • Economic Growth: Pakistan achieved 6-10% annual growth under Ayub Khan, boosted by the Green Revolution and industrialization. India’s growth averaged 3-4%, hampered by wars (1962, 1965) and droughts.
  • Industrial Capacity: Pakistan expanded textiles and manufacturing, supported by foreign aid. India’s public sector industries grew (e.g., Bhilai steel plant), but inefficiencies persisted.
1967-1976: Shocks and Policy Shifts
  • GDP: In 1970, India’s per capita GDP was $948, with a population of 550 million, totaling $521.4 billion in 2011 international dollars. Pakistan’s per capita GDP was $1,052, with a population of 112 million (including East Pakistan), totaling $117.824 billion. Post-1971, after losing East Pakistan, Pakistan’s effective population was around 65 million, reducing total GDP estimates to approximately $67.6 billion for West Pakistan.
  • Foreign Aid Received: Pakistan’s aid surged post-1971, with US and Middle Eastern support (e.g., $73 billion total from 1960-2002, much in this decade). India’s aid decreased, focusing on self-reliance, though still receiving $300-400 million annually.
  • Economic Growth: Pakistan’s growth slowed to 4-5% after 1971 and Bhutto’s nationalizations. India averaged 3-4%, affected by the 1971 war and oil shocks.
  • Industrial Capacity: Pakistan’s industrial growth faltered due to nationalization (e.g., steel, banking), while India’s public sector expanded (e.g., coal, steel), though with inefficiencies.
1977-1986: Stabilization and Gradual Divergence
  • GDP: In 1980, India’s per capita GDP was $1,136, with a population of 683 million, totaling $776.248 billion in 2011 international dollars. Pakistan’s per capita GDP was $1,261, with a population of 85 million, totaling $107.185 billion.
  • Foreign Aid Received: Pakistan peaked with US aid during the Afghan War ($3-4 billion annually by late 1980s). India relied less on aid, focusing on domestic resources and remittances.
  • Economic Growth: India’s growth rose to 5% by the late 1980s, signaling a shift. Pakistan averaged 5-6%, buoyed by aid and remittances.
  • Industrial Capacity: Pakistan’s industrial sector stabilized (textiles, cement), while India’s grew with private sector encouragement (e.g., Maruti Suzuki in 1983), though public enterprises dominated.
1987-1996: India’s Liberalization Leap
  • GDP: In 1990, India’s per capita GDP was $1,348, with a population of 846 million, totaling $1,140.248 billion in 2011 international dollars. Pakistan’s per capita GDP was $1,424, with a population of 103 million, totaling $146.772 billion.
  • Foreign Aid Received: Pakistan continued heavy reliance on aid ($1-2 billion annually from IMF, US, China), while India’s aid dependency dropped post-1991, replaced by FDI.
  • Economic Growth: India’s growth accelerated to 6-7% post-liberalization, while Pakistan’s fell to 4%, hurt by political instability (seven governments in 1988-1998) and sanctions after 1998 nuclear tests.
  • Industrial Capacity: India’s industrial base expanded rapidly (e.g., IT, auto sectors), while Pakistan’s remained textile-heavy, with energy crises limiting growth.

  • Foreign Aid Received: Pakistan sought IMF bailouts ($6 billion in 2023), while India’s forex reserves exceeded $600 billion, reflecting self-sufficiency.
  • Economic Growth: India projects 7% growth in 2024-25, while Pakistan struggles at 2-3%, facing inflation and debt defaults.
  • Industrial Capacity: India’s industrial sector thrives (e.g., $100 billion in IT exports in 2023), while Pakistan’s lags, with textile exports at $15 billion amid energy woes.
Comparative Insights
  • GDP Trajectory: Pakistan led in per capita GDP until the 1990s, but India’s post-1991 liberalization and larger economy reversed this, with per capita GDP nearly doubling Pakistan’s by 2020.
  • Foreign Aid Dependency: Pakistan’s heavy reliance on aid (e.g., $73 billion from 1960-2002) contrasts with India’s shift to FDI and remittances, becoming a net donor by the 2010s.
  • Economic Growth: Pakistan outperformed India until the 1980s, but India’s reforms fueled faster growth thereafter, while Pakistan’s instability constrained progress.
  • Industrial Capacity: India’s diversified industrial base outstripped Pakistan’s, which remained agriculture- and textile-dependent, especially post-1990s.

Key Observations
  • GDP Trajectory: The reversal in per capita GDP leadership by 2000, with India at $1,739 and Pakistan at $1,673 in 2011 international dollars, highlights India’s successful liberalization against Pakistan’s political instability.
  • Foreign Aid Dynamics: Pakistan’s aid dependency, peaking at $73 billion from 1960-2002, contrasts with India’s transition to a net donor status by the 2010s, reflecting differing economic strategies.
