I’ve noticed that Indian news media is far more interested in covering Pakistan than the other way around. Indeed, I’d wonder what Pakistan would look like without India constantly pestering them, e.g. reducing flow of critical river paths from Indian Panjab that supplies much of the agricultural needs)

If you read general mass media like OpIndia, Zee, or NDTV that's true, but if you read media aimed at policymakers (ThePrint, ORF, or Himal for example) it's 70-30 China-PK. Same in PK as well - in vernacular media like Ary or Geo it's all Amreeki/Yahudi/Hindu Sazish but English media which policymakers read is more prosaic. I guess the difference is, English has increasingly become a vernacular language in Indian discource, but not yet in PK.
