Why India is safer than Pakistan

After the ignominious Lahore attack on the Sri Lankan team, the popular notion is that India and Pakistan have become unsafe countries. Here are a few reasons why India is safer than Pakistan:

1.India does not belong to any religion.
2.India assimilates other cultures and does not decimate them.
3.Desire for progress always wins over conflicts eg: Punjab and Kashmir.
4.Development is the issue in our country not religious practices.
5.Our education system is based on needs of the modern world.
6.We want to emulate progress of other countries not destruct them.
7.We build IT Parks not Opium Farms.
8.The Civilian Government is the supreme authority.
9.The Judiciary is active in India
10.We have had uninterrupted dose of democracy for the past 60 plus years save for 3 years during emergency.
11.Our citizens and leaders atleast become united in adverse times.
12.We have Mahatama Gandhi, Dr APJ Abdul Kalam and Sachin Tendulkar as our role models.
13.We have campus recruitments not terrorist recruitment fairs.
14.Most citizens consider it a sacrilege to be jailed.
15.There are more number of mobile phone owners than the ones who posses a gun.
16.Our children are not taught to hate a country
17.Citizens from various religions have held important positions in various spheres of life.
18.Last but not least, Visiting dignitaries are given maximum security no matter how much inconvenience the public at large is put to.
