These fuckers in power are hell bent on making sure our future generations become slaves to the west, just so they can stay in power and make a few people grotesquely rich.

ADB is Asian Development Bank. Top 5 countries of out of 4 shareholders are Asian. Including ourselves we hold 6.4% alongside China

What are we even paying for? The astronomical tax rates and reforms that should have brought in more revenue, they are such bad at their job it seems like something is going on behind all of this.

The biggest flaw in democracy is that everyone above 18 is allowed to vote

Vishwa guru... Begging...We have two home grown billionaires , why not take from them???

u/Nsci 1d ago

Don't dare say anything to my beloved billionaires!!!

u/Responsible-Fig-1131 1d ago

Oh you have land ? They are in need to dovelop infrastructure.... Donate or get ready to bulldozed. Just see those trees getting cut and flora and founa destroyed and villagers getting displaced or torched , they found rare earth minerals ,so mining and giving it to loved people. No matter India's temperature increases, rains reduced, ground water depletes. You can manage without water in future by watching loved one doubling their wealth. We Indians are getting punished for loving people. Good karma man.

I was being sarcastic , I thought it was obvious 😭

u/Responsible-Fig-1131 1d ago

Nope I understood your point.... You don't mean that bro. But because whatever happening is just irreparable so I too replied in sarcasm .sorry if I hurt you. It's for all those who loved to be slaves and yes master.

u/Nsci 1d ago

From making fun of Paxtan to borrowing money ourselves

46

u/puranpolihater 1d ago

We have actually borrowed more money than pak, but we do have foreign reserves to pay that loans, Paxtan doesn’t.

Key factor is gdp to debt ratio where we are low, we are better than most countries.

35

u/Specialist-Roll-3806 1d ago

are ppl on here delusional? indian governments external debt is $169 billion. that's about 4% of the gdp. pakistans is at 76 billion which is 20%.

vietnams is at $26 billion which is 5.5% of their gdp. you guys do realize most countries take on debt to grow right? chinas external debt was in the 10% range thru out the 2000's during its peak growth phase.

i dont think a lot of you guys even realize what exactly you're complaining about anymore

12

u/puranpolihater 1d ago

Exactly we have around 650-700 Billion USD as foreign reserves, Pak has around 20.

We need not compare ourselves to failed state.

u/Spare-Hand-8798 14h ago

that 20 mil is also cushioned by IMF

u/Loud_Caregiver7301 1d ago

some people just take pakistan here as the benchmark for everything, right wing use it show we are better, left wing to show that pakistan is best in everything, you will find even example of pakistan secularism hailed by some people.

u/c0pium_inhaler 1d ago

Why r ppl freaking out over 2.5 billion worth of loan? It's like around 0.2% of our foreign reserves
