It pains me that there can never ever be an online discussion about Pakistan without our neighbors derailing it.
It would be useful to discuss rising extremism in both countries but you just put together a bunch of links to paint Pakistan as the devil and left. Please read the HN guidelines.

Because they are not comparable? And in general we cannot hide behind let's give equal presentation to both sides (e.g., vaxx and anti-vaxx getting equal coverage).
I don’t think OP was suggesting merging the two countries.
My relatives in India would consider such a suggestion with horror. Pakistan rarely enters their conversations, except when there’s a terror attack. Most of them just want Pakistan to mind its own business and leave them alone.
Back to the story: In terms of size, diversity, and economic potential, Karachi is comparable to Mumbai, but the two cities couldn’t be more different today.
