Ok-why don't you check the status of Bangladeshi refugees in India-at last count,there were over 30 million(of which around 10% were legal) & the number is increasing frantically & will continue to till India completes it's border fence with Bangladesh.Lots of Nepalis,especially Gurkhas & Sherpas go to work in India.The Indian army is the source for sustenance of countless Nepali Gurkha families.Oh ,did I leave out that most ordinary Pakistanis would dearly love to come to India if visa regulations were not so rigid.
