India: Global Optimism, Local Fears
In the 2008 survey, fully 73% of Indians had an unfavorable opinion of
Pakistan (53% very unfavorable), while only 18% had a favorable
opinion. For their part, 57% of Pakistanis had an unfavorable opinion
of India, with only 27% having a favorable opinion. While India has
the most negative opinion of Pakistan of any of the 24 countries
surveyed, and vice-versa, the negativity on both sides had declined
since 2002, when fully 90% of Indians had an unfavorable view of
Pakistan and 80% of Pakistanis had an unfavorable view of India.
Although only 16% of Indians cited religious and ethnic hatred as one
of the greatest threats to the world in the 2007 survey, antipathy
towards Muslims has risen recently inside the predominantly-Hindu
country. In 2008, India was notably the one country outside of the
West to see increases in unfavorable opinions towards Muslims. A clear
majority (56%) now voices a negative opinion, up from 51% in 2006 and
43% in 2005.
