If you want to go on anecdotes, my larger fam is happily Indian(from UP even) and Muslim.

Sure there is crazy poverty across India but I haven't seen anything that shows it being greater because of a larger conspiracy against Muslims in India.

Over the years, I've observed more and more of my Pakistani friends sound hopeless when speaking about their country. This is a distinct change from a few years ago when they would speak with nothing but pride.

It's humbling and sad to look at the state of Pakistan as an outsider.
