Did more harm than good for the subcontinent's Muslims. Divided them into 3 nation states, where the minorities in all 3 states have their patriotism questioned regularly and are victims of mob violence. If he hadn't been so stupid, the subcontinent's Muslims would number around 35-40% of the...

Ah. The Khilafat movement. Got it. Although the leaders of the Khilafat movement themselves were from Central India, not present day Pakistan.

The Danes have a pretty big industrial base.

Gdp per person is also moot. What matters is living standard based on purchasing power parity. Access to education, Healthcare, sanitation, potable water and infrastructure is what matters. Aircraft carriers and supersonic missiles aren't going to feed you. I can tell you within India there is...

Excellent. Although underrated thanks to their pathetic Peugeot and Citroen cars, French engineering is almost as good as German as far as pedigree is concerned.

Let's see. Many of them are criminals; some might be wrongfully convicted. They aren't just picked up and put in concentration camps like in China
