        Sure was. 390 million/2.3 billion (just less than 1/5.). Now about the same: 1.3 billion/7.3 billion.

        In 1914 the British Empire encompassed 1/4 of humanity. Greater India was most of it. That India is now seven countries.

        2 countries born on the same day. one of them is a failed state, the other is a symbol of democracy.

        symbol of democracy can clearly be seen in Indian occupied #Kashmir. With ur own dalits and Sikh families. Shame

        thank you for agreeing that pak is a failed state. Although it's ironic when Pakistanis preach about democracy.

        so pak have 4 seasons and that's why it's not a failed state? That's your argument? The whole text is laughable.

        First thing they did in Hindustan (India's real name) was have massive religious riots and kill millions of each other!
