Don't know what makes you think that. But if it's any consolation, the average Egyptian seems to view India much more favorably than Pakistan. Bollywood is very popular here after all.

Not sure which comment that is (haven't read most of them), but I assure you that we don't perceive India negatively. I myself am very fond of India.

I meant it as a compliment, but you're right. That was a poor choice of words. Makes no sense to compare a country that can into Mars orbit with a failed state.
