I find it telling you blame India's lack of modernization on Pakistan. A reflection of the times.

Maybe dismantle the caste system first. You need a civil rights movement.

This is India's biggest hurdle but it seems too ingrained in the society. All peoples should have the same opportunity, but the structure of power in India likes the way things are.

Next work on how you treat women.

Hmm... I said nothing of modernization; I was talking about Indias police state tendencies. These are orthogonal issues. Indians lack of economic development is due to severely lacking general government funded education and over regulation.

As countries such as Norway and China show, you can have development with or without a police state. The issues have nothing to do with each other
