Sadly (and I insert the word "sadly" at the start only because you know the
author) the article suffers from "India-itis". Everything is compared with
India. If India does worse it means "good for Pakistan", if India does better
it - the difference is either illusional or marginal.
To be fair this guy does better than that - but not a lot better. The tone is
no different from the thousands of articles one reads from the Pakistani
educated elite.

That's not the message I got from Rafiq's article. And to be fair to
him, he was probably asked to write this article because of his
background, which is also mentioned at the foot of the piece I forwarded:
RAFIQ DOSSANI is a senior research scholar at the Shorenstein
Asia-Pacific Research
Center of Stanford University.
