Is India turning into a larger, Hindu version of Pakistan?

[Snowstalker Mk. II]

At worst, India is becoming a Hindu version of Bangladesh, but even that might be a stretch.

You are aware that - terrorism and other political violence aside - that would actually be substantially worse than being a Hindu version of Pakistan, yes?

The human rights situation is also worse across the board in Pakistan incl. oppression of women (Pakistan is ranked the second worst country in the world to be a woman by the UN) and religious minorities. Pakistan has a stronger economy, which is of course crucial, but as a "model" for a society it is worse than Bangladesh. So in that sense TDAs analogy makes sense.

Pakistan is not in existential danger from rising sea levels, nor is it just a massive sweatshop.

You seem to have misse the entire point of my post.

Again, if you say "a Hindu version of Bangladesh" that does not refer to geography or economy, but to political system, legal system, human rights etc. and as bad as things are in Bangladesh on these areas they are worse in Pakistan.

Except that basic living standards actually matter. That a country is a vibrant and open democracy means little if it's also dirt-poor and sinking into the ocean.
