I feel sure its mirror image has not been heard in Pakistan either. There is, after all, at least one example out there we can follow. Costa Rica has been peaceful, democratic and progressive for decades. While its neighbours, year after year, spent money on arms and wars and killing each others' citizens as well as their own, this little Central American country invested in education and health and democracy. In Ticos, as Costa Ricans call themselves.
Literacy is near total.
Nearly all Ticos have access to sanitation, compared to three of every ten Indians and Pakistanis. Per capita income is the highest in Central America, seven times higher than in the south Asian giants. Costa Rica may not be as outwardly prosperous as the USA or Western European countries are, but unlike in other Central American countries, or in India, there is no widespread poverty. Cities are clean. Ticos are a healthy people.
