The figures, side by side

Each figure is the same observation, with the same source, as on the two dossiers. Every value shows the year it was observed — vintages differ by indicator and nation. A “—” is an absence in the source data, never a zero. Metric names link to the world ranking; values open the figure on its own dossier.

Entangled histories

One event in which either nation’s sourced chronicle names the other — including under earlier names of the same state. Each is the same record, with the same sources, as on its own chronicle; nothing here was written for this page.

  1. 21 Apr 1948

    UN Security Council Resolution 47

    The Council recommended that Pakistan secure the withdrawal of tribesmen and non-resident Pakistani nationals, that India reduce its forces to the minimum needed for order, and that a UN Plebiscite Administrator be appointed. It was adopted paragraph by paragraph, with no objection and with the Soviet Union and the Ukrainian SSR abstaining. No plebiscite was held: India says Pakistan never took the first step of withdrawal, while Pakistan says India refused each demilitarisation scheme.
