Well, being a numbers guy, I looked it up at : http://www.odci.gov/cia/publications/factbook/ India Pakistan China Per Capita GDP 2200 2000 3600 Growth Rate 6% 4.8% 8% % in poverty 35% 40% 10% I threw China in there because it is India's continental rival, and is only a bit bigger than India. It appears to me that, to first order, India and Pakistan are equal and very poor. If the difference in growth rate continues, India will pull ahead, but I don't see light years of difference.
