Firstly they keep electing people to power that are corrupt. Some of these people have been in power more than once, so how they get re-elected, I will never know. People like Bhutto, Nawas Sharif, etc. One guy who seems very genuine and a fighter of corruption is Imran Khan and yet his party got only one seat in the last election, which was himself. Secondly, they sold their soul to the US by allowing it to use itself as a pathway into Afghanistana and has, in fact, collaborated with the US on intelligence. What has US done for it in return? Nothing. Now, Pakistan is in dire straits, begging for money to stave off massive financial and economic crisis. The country is experiencing huge unemployment, chaos, etc. As Imran Khan rightly said, all the US do is give them aid which just makes the country become dependent on that source. it does not relaise its potential in terms of human capital because there is no urgent need to develpp it. I really think the British are at fault here too. They helped create friction between the Msulims and Hindus for political gain which eventually led Pakistan seeking a seperate state. I think the country should have remained part of India, which of course, would have meant Bangladesh would also be part of India now. Pakistan is nothing more than a failed state now.
Even though India do n't have a good leader we are progressing at a good rate due to some unknown force.. but that's not the same case with Pakistan,most of their establishment is corrupt and it's all due to their Democratic Setup.. and there is also a partial blame on Jinnah.. Had he concentrated more on the constitutional setup of Pakistan ..it would not have been in this state right now...
