@ Sam, you can hide your head all you want in the sand or the snow if you are in Canada but there is no denying that there are lots of restrictions on Pakistanis going abroad, including the Arabian Gulf where the restrictions or blanket restrictions are either eased or tightened depending on the conduct of the diaspora Pakistanis and the never ending political turmoil and the gory violence in Pakistan.

Sunil, i think that today the Swiss government has issued a travel warning to India after the rape of a Swiss tourist. It appears that India is making quite a name for itself in this field. There is plenty of gory violence in India. Pakistan is taking the brunt of it because we are a frontline state in the 'great game'. In any case why does it bother you (an Indian) if Pakistan is doing something positive? Shouldn't you be happy that it will stabilise the region? The reason is that in india there are fanatics like yourself who have still not accepted that Mother India of legend is now carved up. I think you should accept the ground realities.

@Sunil. Totally irrelevant comment, reflecting pure ignorance.

I never said Pakistanis were free to travel as they pleased - indeed far from it. I am aware they are unwanted in many parts of the world; but this is not because these nations penalize all Pakistanis for the actions of a few. This is because they have orders from their "true masters" to shun Pakistanis in order to help realize their goal of turning Pakistan into a failed state. The smaller the diaspora, the lower the remittances, so every little bit of pressure needs to be exerted (in their view). If what you said was true and host nations "eased or tightened depending on the conduct of the diaspora", then I assure you Indian would be bearing the brunt first as they top the list of foreign nationals in jails in most of the host nations.

Now you get your head of that sand :)

Pakistan's quick nosedive to an abyss will make it a pariah country to be shunned by the whole world just like its western rogue neighbor, may be it already is a pariah country after the gas pipeline project. From a failed country to a pariah country and people still want to invest in Pakistan???

and you Vishal are writing from Australia? let me guess you are on holiday... ( in a country where Indians from the number of attacks against them are apparently quite disliked)

@Vishal, I want my country to fail, I want it to fail real bad, worse than Afghanistan, that's what you Indians keep thinking, right? I wish you get that, so there's 35M Afghanis & 200M Pakistanis, I would love to see how India, sorry, my bad, 'progressing India' - would handle that.
So, Lets pray that this doesn't happen. Don't say bad if you can't say good. The way I see it, for India to progress, and not hurt its growth rate, eventually even it will have to invest in Pakistan - That's a fact.

I think every patriotic Indian must support the development of Pakistan. A developed Pakistan will be a better neighbour than a failed country. And here we have people like 'Vishal', who would leave the country or even ready to renounce his citizenship for material comfort and selfish reasons and can't see any good thing happening anywhere else.

I am from India and will be very happy to see a developed Pakistan, or any other place than more poor and crime in this world.

Before investing anywhere, first deal with its people then it will be crystal clear if you should plunge in the pristine water or stop right there from making an impulsive move.
