Its really sad when people in power are idiots, or malicious idiots that think they are smart.
Pakistan, IMO sucks (not defending India) -> My family has a long history in the State Department and my Uncle was a diplomat in Karachi for many, many years - and I managed a team out of Karachi, and had a Pakistani CEO founder at the startup in the states...
I was asked to go to Karachi a couple times and I refused. I loved my team there, but our internet was regularly taken out because it was via roof-based dishes, that regularly got shot at to take them out.
My uncle was driven directly from the embassy to his residence daily in an armoured car, and basically never left either his residence or embassy for years
The pakistani CEO became a religious zealot IMAM or something and moved back to Pakistan, to become some holy person over there.... even though he was sleeping with the marketing head of his company and cheating on his wife and newborn kids...
but tried to maintain some sort of holy image.

As for India. (ever Indian peer I had was great. Every Indian manager I had sucked.)
The CTO at the division of lockheed was really connected in India and had a collection of Lamborghinis and other really expensive cars (like 20 of them) -- we wound up having to walk him out of the office with security due to him both not doing a damn thing, and lying about his qualifications.
The lady who sat next to me at FB was the daughter of an Indian PM -- and was the most materialistic braggart I have ever had to endure...
In conclusion, every country has douchebags. It just sucks that when Pakistani or Indian professionals get power, it has been my consistent experience that they abuse it.
