Indian Economy!

The tension between Pakistan and India has increased for past few months, and it surely has a bad influence on the economy of the two countries. But it is quite surprising to note that in PTV news, we are told time and again about the Indian economy getting worse day by day.
It makes one think that perhaps the present hazards of war have not put any influence on the economy of Pakistan. In my opinion we should take a notice of our own economy first, the oil prices and different kind of bills are increasing day by day, and the rupee has also devalued.
It is high time that we pay attention to the plight of our own economy, rather than the Indian economy. It sometimes make me feel that perhaps we are more curious about the Indian economy.
