Pakistan and India are two countries that aren't foreign to the large number of people who watch our videos
Both countries are rich with culture and have great pride unlike any other
although stemming from the same origins India and Pakistan are two separate nations with two completely separate identities
Now thank you guys once again for joining me on another episode of FTD Facts
I'm Leroy Kenton, and I'm gonna be exploring these two countries in a side-by-side comparison
In this episode of which country is better now the question. I got a throw out. There is what country
Do you think is better India or Pakistan?
Pretty skewed forward. Let me know down below and don't forget to leave a like on this video
Okay, so let me begin exploring these two great countries
Let's look at the population first so the population of Pakistan is
198 million three hundred and four thousand two hundred and twenty one and the population density sits at
256 per square kilometer India's population on the other hand is a lot larger
it's at 1 billion three hundred and forty four million two hundred and thirty-eight thousand one hundred and forty-eight and
India of course is the second-most populated country in the entire world
Its population density is at 450 per square kilometer
Now when it comes to land size the land size of India is three point two eight
Seven million square kilometers, and that's about 1 million two hundred sixty nine thousand two hundred and nineteen square miles
Pakistan's land size sits at
796 thousand and 95 square kilometers
Which is roughly three hundred and seven thousand seven hundred and seventy-four square miles
Now life expectancy in both countries are pretty similar in India the average age is sixty eight point five
Years with males at sixty seven point three years and females at sixty nine point eight years the life
Expectancy in Pakistan is sixty seven point seven years males at sixty five point eight and females at sixty nine point eight
now in taking a look at the cultures of
two countries so secularism in India
Refers to the equal treatment of all religions by the state with the 42nd Amendment of the Constitution of India enacted in
1976 it asserted that India is a secular nation however neither India's Constitution
or its laws define the relationship between religion and
State whereas Pakistan is a Muslim state
India has around an 80% Hindu population while Islam is a
predominant religion in Pakistan so much so that it has a second largest Muslim population in the world
Pakistan alone which is five times smaller than India has 300 dialects and languages
Now this count in India is a lot more than
1500 but for the official languages the
Constitution of India it designates the official language of the Government of India as
Hindi as well as
English and there is no national language in India
Pakistan's national language is or do which along with English is also the official language now in 2015
the government in Pakistan
Announced plans to actually make her do the sole official language and get rid of English as the second official language
when it comes to the dollars the money of India and Pakistan Pakistan uses the Pakistani rupee and India uses the
Indian rupee the GDP at India sits at nine point four eight nine
trillion US dollars and the GDP of Pakistan is at one point zero six zero
Trillion u.s.
Dollars and this is based on the purchasing power
Parity when it comes to food now India is a big place of course right now. It used to be even bigger
Consisting of areas that are now Pakistan Bangladesh, Sri. Lanka and my M Mar
Which was formerly known as Burma so the whole idea of Indian food is not necessarily
100% accurate all of the term Pakistani cuisine can also be pretty vague considering that Pakistan didn't exist until
1947 but Pakistani cuisine can be considered, let's say
subset of in cuisine
But like when you look at the subsets. It's pretty diverse with all the different spices and the ingredients
We don't see too much differences in terms of the food in India and Pakistan, but let's just take for example
You know the kind of food that you would find cooking in South Indian home
You know the dal to race some the sambar is etc
It's completely different from Pakistan's kebabs or the nons and curries and meats that are served in an Indian restaurant
But that's enough food talk for me. I'm kind of getting hungry
I'm probably gonna chow down after this episode
But let's look at the militaries of these two countries so currently Pakistan's military is ranked 13th in the world
Pakistan's armed forces are made up by three different branches
We have the Pakistan Army the Pakistan Air Force and the Pakistan
Navy now the available manpower in Pakistan sits at 95 million people and their total military
personnel sits at 1 million
135 thousand that includes active personnel which is six hundred and twenty thousand and reserve personnel
Which is five hundred and fifteen thousand people and the defense budget in Pakistan increased to eight point seven
billion dollars this year
Now they're the sixth largest in the world in terms of active military personnel and the largest among
Muslim countries and this next one is huge. It's reported that Pakistan is the only Muslim majority country to possess nuclear weapons
Their military also has a special service group, which is known as the SSG?
It's the primary Special Operations force of the Pakistan Army because the SSG go through a huge
range of just intense training in
2015 they were actually listed as the best Special Forces group in the entire
World now looking at the military of India so India has a third largest
military in terms of active frontline personnel
But when we take a look at the total military power
they are ranked fourth on the global scale the defense budget is way up to fifty 3.5 billion dollars and
Actually the Indian history of Defense says India will need
233 billion dollars to meet its military budget in 11 years now. There's something pretty cool
I want to throw in here in late 2016 India actually completed its nuclear triad by adding a strategic nuclear
submarine the I ns iron hand into its military India has become one of the only countries to do so and if you're
Unsure what a nuclear triad is well pretty much
It's the ability to launch nuclear warheads from land and from the sky as well as from the sea as well
When we look at the film industry Lollywood is the oldest film industry of pakistan cinema based in Lahore
But up until 2007 though Lahore was a center of Pakistan's cinema producing films in both Punjabi
and or do however since
2007 Karachi has overtaken Lahore in Urdu film productions and for some of you this may be the first time you're hearing the word
Hollywood so where did that name actually come from anyways well
It was coined back in 1989 by a gossip columnist named, Salim Nasser
And he wrote for a glamour magazine that was published in Karachi
now bollywood of course in India is only a part of the larger Indian cinema also known as
indie wood in 2016 Bollywood earn
2.4. Billion dollars, and they make up about 43 percent of the overall revenue coming from
India's entire film industry
So India and Pakistan have shared and continued to share a very extremely turbulent
historical
Relationship the Indian subcontinent used to be ruled by the British Empire for almost 200 years
Some of you may know this
But when world war ii ended the british were in no position to continue their hold on the indian subcontinent and the british
partitioned the indian subcontinent into two separate nations india and pakistan
on August 14th Pakistan became an independent country however
There was really no correct way of how to actually divide the land
So there was a mix of Hindus and Muslims living in and four generations and this
Partition resulted in the loss of life on both sides almost 20 million people were displaced from their homes as well
it's been 70 years and these two countries continued to overcome various hurdles and
Now are recognized on the global scale in many different areas
