I am an Indian woman and have actually lived in Cairo for 3 years. Lovely people, lovely time. However let us face it, neither Pakistanis nor Egyptians would like to be compared to India because a) belief in their racial superiority (Egyptians"we are white") (Pakistanis -they are darker than us). B. the news about India;s growth has not trickled into these countries, with a very repressed media. Once we take this away, it boils down to the question: will the Egyptian revolutions end up in dictatorship and religious fundamentalism like Pakistan or will it strive towards democracy for the next 100 years and so on...Remember the democratic movement in the UK started 600 years ago. And by the way, the poverty and lack of opportunity I have seen in Egypt was worse than India, because there was practically no mobility. The districts were no go zones. Cairo was a show case as were the tourist areas, other than that, people are trapped economically.
