Bad Neighbors; Pakistan Vs India

 From fighting together to fighting with each other Pakistan and India are bound by a long history though everyone hoped there will be peace once this is all over but it seems never-ending. since independence, both countries have fought 4 wars against each other and still are in a continuous state of conflict. This has led to the cumulative death toll of 2 million among both sides with a huge amount of economical and developmental losses pushing both countries into third world countries. These wars are not only fought at government levels but are also seeded in the brains of the normal populace, both countries use educational means, political forums, and mainstream media, etc. to infuriate hatred among people for each other. Pakistan and India share an extensive border of 3,323 kilometers and are both countries are located in a strategical economical corridor for the rest of the world with access to warm waters throughout the year. Despite being a corridor for such large-scale trade, the economic condition of both countries is in a miserable state. Indian annual GDP was 2,718,732M in 2018 whereas in Pakistan it was 314,588M.$. India has an estimated debt of 563.9 billion USD as of 2019, whereas Pakistan has total debt of 113.803 billion USD. The budget deficits of Pakistan and India were 21.25 billion and 39.9 billion respectively in 2018. Despite these deficiencies in their economic condition, both countries invest largely in lethal arms, a race they have been competing for decades. Pakistan invests US$10.3 billion in its defense whereas the Indian defense budget is estimated at US$ 65.86 Billion. These conflicts not only cost us a heavy defense budget but also cost us major economic and developmental opportunities. Separating us from the rest of the world into third world countries.
