#4I am usually for open borders but pakistan is really an exception. They have too many problems - They in the past used to openly fund terrorist militias in both India and Nepal.
Until they sort themselves out its a good idea to create a donald trump style wall between them and India.

And as a South Indian I feel cheated that the money I pay as tax is being wasted this way in what is essentially a North Indian problem.

This comment is so discriminatory. India and Pakistan basically have the same problems. Both countries are quite screwy. Read real books on both countries rather than just reading new articles and you would know this.

The propensity to fight pointless wars is a human problem not specific to any particular grouping of humans.

Poverty won't be solved by spending less on enforcing borders. This is the same type of thing the BBC says whenever India does something like send a probe to the moon or mars.
