There are 3 agencies which measure the PPP: IMF, America's CIA, and
the World Bank. The PPP is a great proxy for the standard-of-living
of a nation, as it takes the costs of good and services produced
within the country. It is also harder to calculate.

For a long time now on Wikipedia, they had the PPP of India about 40%
higher than Pakistan's. However, one of these 3 agencies recently
revised *DOWNWARD* India's, China's, and Bangladesh's PPP by 40%, 40%,
and 36%, respectively. I am sure that they will also lower Pakistan's
PPP, but they haven't so far yet.

Anyways, according to Wikipedia now, the PPP of Pakistan is *HIGHER*
than that of India's - ~$3300 VS ~$2700.

1) pakistan does not have an economy other than collecting aid from
the US for fighting terrorism it creates.

2) It is obvious that any economy that has social stability and a
consistent economic growth rate spanning 17 years like India is not
going to be behind an unstable, violence racked & undemocratic place
like Pakistan.

3) If the IMF had any accurate accounting method, they would not have
to revice upwards or downwards any valueation by 40% !

4) IMF works by having developed countries cause a financial panic in
a given developing country. They then strolling in to offer loans
with demands that the assets of the developing country be handed over
at a ridiculously low prices to the developed nations which caused the
financial turmoil. Any reason India should be trusting the IMF?
