Although I believe, security in Pakistan needs to be improved a lot BUT STILL...

Pakistan has been ranked safer than both India and the United States in Numbeo’s 2025 list of the world’s safest countries. The latest safety index places Pakistan at 65th, ahead of India at 66th and the U.S. at 89th. The rankings, based on crime data and personal safety perceptions, highlight Pakistan’s improved security situation.

Andorra, a small European nation, claimed the top spot with a safety score of 84.7. The United Arab Emirates followed with 84.5, while Qatar secured third place with 84.2. Taiwan (82.9) and Oman (81.7) completed the top five. The index was compiled using survey responses from visitors to Numbeo’s website. It considered factors such as crime rates, public safety, and personal security concerns.

According to the report, respondents were asked about their safety while walking during the day and night. The study also assessed concerns over crimes like robbery, assault, and property-related offenses. Factors such as public harassment and discrimination based on race, gender, or religion were also included in the analysis.

Numbeo emphasized that the safety rankings rely on user-generated data rather than official government statistics. The index serves as a comparative tool to help people assess security levels in different countries. This allows travelers and residents to make informed decisions about safety.

The top 20 safest countries include Andorra, UAE, Qatar, Taiwan, Oman, and several European and Asian nations. Meanwhile, the most dangerous countries list features Venezuela, Papua New Guinea, Haiti, Afghanistan, and South Africa among the highest-risk destinations.

Pakistan’s improved position in the global safety ranking reflects ongoing efforts to enhance security. The country’s ranking above the United States and India highlights its progress in combating crime and improving public safety.

How can America be considered safe when you know someone can pull out an automatic gun anytime and go on a mass killing spree. Even Europe is very unsafe, and knife crimes are rising there.

Our countries aren’t that bad, our people have been through a lot. Give them a few decades of economic growth and you will the best coming out in them.

Our countries? Now that Pakistan is ranked above India in the Global Safety Index, you have no choice but to show unity and support for Pakistan, lol. In the Champions Trophy host thread, when people pointed out that New Zealand, England, and Australia had no issues touring Pakistan, you guys were making excuses. Next time we mock their security, we should look at this report and be aware of our own ranking too. :inti
 
Not surprised at the ranking. I think India is the most unsafe country to visit in subcontinent currently (unsafer than even Afghanistan).

Women, Muslims, and other minorities are not safe in chaiwala Modi's India.

:inti
 
That really says a lot about the credibility of these surveys. I’m not sure how many users here have actually been involved in academic research or pre-doctoral thesis work, but if you cite portals like this as your source material, you can pretty much kiss your paper goodbye.
 
And That's why nobody takes these indexes seriously

Dont ever conduct surveys and create indexes after smoking ganja

Of course, in reality Pakistan belongs several notches below with the likes of Syria, Libya etc. I mean how often do you hear about a fricking train being highjacked for crying out loud? No not a model train, an actual fricking train.
 
Chat gpt-> Numbeo's rankings are based on user-contributed data, which means they reflect public perception rather than official crime statistics or detailed law enforcement data. That makes them useful for getting a general idea of how people feel about safety in a country, but not necessarily an objective measure of actual crime rates or law enforcement effectiveness.
 
Pakistan is a relatively safe nation these days thanks to imaculate leadership by Shri Sehbaz Shariff ji. They have jailed the person who used to call likes Osama Bin Laden a martyr and it is already bearing fruit. I have nothing but utmost respect for present day Pakistan. Hence I wanted Indian team to travel Pakistan in CT and win the trophy in Lahore. It could have started the aman ki asha we all have been waiting for.

Another reason why Pakistan is a relatively safer state because it is an Islamic republic which doesn't hide behind secularism. They dont have many Jaychands like in India who eats and lives in India but hate the country to the core. Remove this charade of secularism from India and it will bear fruit as well.

Will have to ask Kulbushan... But in OP you can see an Indian media report or coverage for the same site too

It's a fact. Pakistan has the 4th worst passport in the world.
 
West suffers from reporting crimes in a transparent manner, if they stop reporting crime like Pakistan China India, the crime rate will easily drop.

Buddhism’s holiest site erupts in protests over Hindu ‘control’ of shrine

Buddhism’s holiest site erupts in protests over Hindu ‘control’ of shrine​

Buddhists across the country have joined protests after monks at the Mahabodhi Temple were forcibly removed by police.

Bodh Gaya, India — As he stood in a queue outside a makeshift tent kitchen for breakfast, 30-year-old Abhishek Bauddh could not help but reflect on the throngs of people around him in Bodh Gaya, Buddhism’s holiest site.

Bauddh has been visiting the town in eastern India’s Bihar state, where the Buddha gained enlightenment, since he was 15. “But I have never seen such an atmosphere. Buddhists from all over the country are gathering here,” he said.

For once, they are not in Bodh Gaya only for a pilgrimage. They are part of a protest by Buddhists that has erupted across India in recent weeks over a demand that control of Bodh Gaya’s Mahabodhi Temple, one of the faith’s most sacred shrines, be handed over exclusively to the community.

Several Buddhist organisations have held rallies, from Ladakh bordering China in the north to the cities of Mumbai in the west and Mysuru in the south. Now, people are increasingly trooping to Bodh Gaya to join the main protest, said Akash Lama, general secretary of the All India Buddhist Forum (AIBF), the collective leading the campaign. India has an estimated 8.4 million Buddhist citizens, according to the country’s last census in 2011.

For the last 76 years, the temple has been managed by an eight-member committee — four Hindus and four Buddhists — under the Bodh Gaya Temple Act, 1949, a Bihar state law.

But the protesters, including monks clad in saffron with loudspeakers and banners in their hands, are demanding a repeal of that Act and a complete handover of the temple to the Buddhists. They argue that in recent years, Hindu monks, enabled by the fact that the influence the community wields under the law, have increasingly been performing rituals that defy the spirit of Buddhism — and that other, more subtle forms of protest have failed.

The Bodh Gaya Math, the Hindu monastery that performs the rituals inside the complex, insists that it has played a central role in the upkeep of the shrine for centuries and that it has the law on its side.

The protesters point out that the Buddha was opposed to Vedic rituals. All religions in India “take care and manage their own religious sites”, said Bauddh, who travelled 540km (335 miles) from his home in the central state of Chhattisgarh to Bodh Gaya. “So why are Hindus involved in the committee of a Buddhist religious place?”

Sitting down with his plate of hot rice with dal, he said, “Buddhists have not received justice [so far], what should we do if we do not protest peacefully?”

Old grievance, new trigger​

Barely 2km (1.2 miles) away from the sacred fig tree in the Mahabodhi Temple complex where the Buddha is believed to have meditated, minibuses arrive on a dusty road from Patna, the capital of Bihar, carrying protesters from different parts of the country.

For some, who have regularly visited the shrine, the concern over Hindu rituals being performed at the temple complex is not new.

“From the very beginning, when we used to come here, we felt very disheartened to see rituals that Lord Buddha had forbidden being performed by people of other religions in this courtyard,” said 58-year-old Amogdarshini, who travelled from Vadodara in the western state of Gujarat to join the protests in Bodh Gaya.

In recent years, Buddhists have complained to local, state and national authorities about the Hindu rituals. In 2012, two monks filed a petition before the Supreme Court seeking a repeal of the 1949 law that gives Hindus a say in the running of the shrine. That case has not even been listed for a hearing, 13 years later. In recent months, the monks have again submitted memorandums to the state and central governments and have taken out rallies on the streets.

But things came to a head last month. On February 27, more than two dozen Buddhist monks sitting on a hunger strike for 14 days on the temple premises were removed at midnight by the state police, who forced them to relocate outside the temple.

“Are we terrorists? Why cannot we protest in the courtyard that belongs to us?” said Pragya Mitra Bodh, secretary of the National Confederation of Buddhists of India, who came from Jaipur in the western state of Rajasthan with 15 other protesters. “This temple management act and committee setup taints our Buddhist identity and the Mahabodhi temple can never completely belong to us unless the act is repealed.”

Since then, the protests have intensified — some, like Amogdarshini, who had already spent a couple of weeks in Bodh Gaya in January, have now returned to join the protest.

Stanzin Suddho, a travel agent from Ladakh who is currently in Bodh Gaya, said the protests are being funded by devotees’ contributions. “We do not stay for long,” he said, adding that he came with 40 others. “Once we go back, more people will join here.”

A history of shifting ownership​

At the heart of the battle for the Mahabodhi Temple — a UNESCO World Heritage Site — is its long-contested legacy.

The temple was built by Emperor Ashoka, who visited Bodh Gaya in 260 BCE after embracing Buddhism, roughly 200 years after the Buddha’s enlightenment.

It remained under Buddhist management for years until major political changes in the region in the 13th century, said Imtiaz Ahmed, professor of medieval history at Patna University. The invasion of India by Turko-Afghan general Bakhtiyar Khilji “led to the eventual decline of Buddhism in the region”, Ahmed said.

According to UNESCO, the shrine was largely abandoned between the 13th and 18th centuries, before the British began renovations.

But according to the shrine’s website, a Hindu monk, Ghamandi Giri, turned up at the temple in 1590 and began living there. He started conducting rituals and established the Bodh Gaya Math, a Hindu monastery. Since then, the temple has been controlled by descendants of Giri.

In the late 19th century, visiting Sri Lankan and Japanese Buddhist monks founded the Maha Bodhi Society to lead a movement to reclaim the site.

In 1903, these efforts led the then-viceroy of India, Lord Curzon, to try to negotiate a deal between the Hindu and Buddhist sides, but he failed. Later on, both sides started mobilising political support and eventually, two years after India gained independence from British rule in 1947, Bihar’s government pushed through the Bodh Gaya Temple Act. The law transferred the temple’s management from the head of the Bodh Gaya Math to the eight-member committee, which is now headed by a ninth member, the district magistrate — the top bureaucrat in charge of the district.

But Buddhists allege that the Bodh Gaya Math — as the most influential institution on the ground — effectively controls the day-to-day functioning of the complex.

‘Hindus owned it’​

Swami Vivekananda Giri, the Hindu priest who currently looks after the Bodh Gaya Math, is unfazed by the protests, describing the agitations as “politically motivated” — with an eye on Bihar’s state legislature elections later this year.

“Our Math’s teachings treat Lord Buddha as the ninth reincarnation of [Hindu] Lord Vishnu and we consider Buddhists our brothers,” Giri told Al Jazeera. “For years, we have hosted Buddhist devotees, from other countries as well, and never disallowed them from praying on the premises.”

Giri says the Hindu side has been “generous in allowing four seats to Buddhists in the management committee”.

“If you repeal the Act, then the temple will solely belong to the Hindu side because we owned it before the Act and the independence [of India],” Giri said, taking a dig at the protesters. “When the Buddhists abandoned it after the invasion of Muslim rulers, we preserved and took care of the temple. Yet we never treated Buddhist visitors as ‘others’.”

Back at the protest site, Akash Lama, who leads the demonstrations, suggested that the protesters have little hope that the federal government of the Hindu majoritarian Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), and the state government — in which the BJP is an alliance partner — will listen to their grievances.

“The rights of Buddhists are being gradually violated by using the Act. Buddhists have the right over the temple, so it should be handed over to the Buddhists,” he said. “We have been disappointed in the government and the Supreme Court [for failing to hear the case].”

But Bauddh, the protester from Chhattisgarh, still has hope — not in the government, but in the people he sees around him. “This unity makes our protest strong,” he said.

Because Palestine is safer (street crime, harassment etc) than India and Pakistan. Put aside the genocidal actions of Israel, Palestine is very safe, friendly with no issues.

You can't seem or unable to do that.

Palestinians are a people with a land and they have operated for thousands for years in their towns, villages and I have extensively traveled and know the language, its clearly safer (crime wise)

And no bribery either

I stated that Palestine (street crime wise) is safer then both India and Pakistan when the Genocide of Israel is put aide and stand by that observation.

You are under no obligation to accept it but it is clear to anyone who visits all 3 places and can draw a comparison without nationalistic bias.
 
If left unoccupied and without Western intervention aimed at establishing democracy, most, if not all, Arab countries are far safer than both India and Pakistan.

Despite being wealthier and more technologically advanced, India remains, and will likely continue to remain, as unsafe as poorer Pakistan in terms of security and public safety. This highlights that the mindset of the subcontinent has not yet evolved to prioritize these aspects and, perhaps, never will. Both nations will continue to experience communal and sectarian violence, with India likely facing it more frequently than Pakistan.
 
The delulu levels are extreme. People will latch onto any retarded list that will confirm with their bias. :facepalm.

A list showing places with genocides and mass rapes as safer than safest countries should be junked but here we have people seeing anything that confirms to their preconceived notions and justifying the positions with a because.

It is because the reality is lives in India are still on a level with the rest of the subcontinent. It's the only reason they still flee to first world countries in the west. Balance sheets are great, but at some point a nation has to translate that into competence and living standards.
 
Factual news won't sit well with the sanghis. No surprise considering how that third world is becoming a toxic place for minorities, has a facist Gujrat butcher as a leader and large section of society seems to be going downhill with their hatred for minorities. Not just that have read many times of tourists getting harrased, scammed and raped in that epicenter of rape capital. No surprise.

Sanghi still struggling with other rankings like global hunger index where India was rated among the worst ones, time and time against their delusions keep getting exposed
