Majority of Pakistanis consider India greatest enemy


Pew Research Center is one of the biggest opinion gathering institution in world. It regularly conducts surveys in different parts of world. Here are some results from Pakistan.
Only 22% of Pakistanis have a favorable view of traditional rival India, although this is actually a slight improvement from 14% last year. Moreover, when asked which is the biggest threat to their country, India, the Taliban, or al Qaeda, 59% name India.
Pakistanis have consistently identified India as the top threat since the question was first asked in 2009. The percentage fearing India has increased by 11 points since then, while the percentage naming the Taliban has decreased by nine points.
