this is largely down to economic reforms in india in the 19905, economic reforms in india in the 1990sed up its markets forforeign 1990s, when it opened up its markets for foreign and private 1990s, when it opened up its markets forforeign and private investments. today, india and pakistan are the largest economies in south asia. they still don't create very much. bilaterals trade stood atjust $2.2 billion last year. this is less than what india creates with smaller neighbours like sri lanka, bangladesh, and nepal. this is largely due to the negative list, banning goods from india. this ranges from toothbrushes and diapers to ca rs ranges from toothbrushes and diapers to cars and cricket bats. india levies taxes on goods from pakistan. that said, informaltrade levies taxes on goods from pakistan. that said, informal trade between the two countries is thriving, and is estimated to be close to $5 billion. that involves shipping goods through a third country. traders both in india and pakistan news dubai to get goods to each other. experts say that if history was formalised, then the tota

what does independence from india...nd partition, the splitting from india, what does it mean to you? jo independence does not necessarily mean freedom. we are independent in the sense we have our own cultural values that are separate from the british and indians. however, ifeel that there is still a bit of a problem here in terms of not being able to speak freely and do things really. although that is changing now. in most aspects of pakistani politics and social awareness, there has been a bit of a change. it means having a separate identity but also striving more for freedom. many people have said that the horrors of partition have caused an abiding mistrust and suspicion between india and pakistan, which we see played out of the political level all the time. what about amongst the people? do you have indian friends? have a lot of indian friends and a lot of my friends have indian friends. we share cultural and traditional values. indian traditions of deeply embedded in pakistani culture as well. i have severalfriends

that is because people from india.from a young age or taught that whilst hindus and muslims live together side under british rule and indeed long before that, in fact they were separate nations and so it was necessary to create pakistan to ensure a muslim minority in the subcontinent would not be oppressed bya hindu subcontinent would not be oppressed by a hindu majority. partition so horrific amount of violence that maybe no one anticipated. but it was something that many indian muslim leaders had campaigned for. nowadays it is quite common to hear in pakistan the point of view that india is trying to sabotage pakistan isa india is trying to sabotage pakistan is a kind of punishment for breaking away. the legacy of bitterness that was created by partition is something that still continues to have modern repercussions. and india celebrates independence day tomorrow, how big occasion will that be? injust a tomorrow, how big occasion will that be? in just a few hours from now you can already see the building behind me be

driving in india is an experience. roads are cramped, the horn is omnipresent and the rules are... well, the rules are here somewhere, i'm sure of it. and that's why we won't be doing a piece about self driving cars in india any time soon. despite the fact that it seems like everyone in india travels in the car, that's not true by any means, many people choose to travel by train instead. but, if you think that's any less intense, think again. yeah, about those rules. mumbai central station is a massive heaving hub connecting the city to the north and east of india. but, if you look closer you'll see something else connecting the commuters to the rest of the world. 116 wireless access points provide free wi—fi to anyone with an indian phone number. it has been provided by google which at the moment says about 2.5 terabytes are being downloaded here every day. and here's the interesting part — this is notjust about this station, along india's railway tracks lie 115,000 kilometres of optic fibre and google is piping inter

the division of colonial india in 1947 into two states — india and pakistan — led to sectarian violencee killed. the partition resulted in the movement of around 12 million people. it was one of the largest migrations ever seen. many muslims fled east and west out of hindu—dominated india. and millions of hindus and sikhs headed the other way. reeta chakrabarti is in india tonight at the golden temple in amritsar. this is the holiest site of the sikh religion. and it stands in the state of punjab, which was terribly affected in the horrors of partition 70 years ago. india has a lot to reflect on, in its past and in its present on this anniversary, with a huge young population, and a growing economy. modern day india has a huge and young population and a burningoning economy. it's recently seen a spike in religious violence directed mainly at muslims. our south asia correspondent, justin rowlatt, has been finding out. his report contains some distressing images. this is a day of celebration for india. the indian prime minister, narendra modi, talked of the country's successes — its growi

india also levies taxes on goods imported from pakistan.etween the two countries is thriving, and it is estimated to be close to $5 billion. that involves shipping goods to a third country. traders both in india and pakistan used to buy two get goods to each other —— use to buy. —— duabai. the total trade between the two countries could touch $10 billion every year. checking the markets, despite the fairly solid gdp figures, the japanese nikkei is down because of the strong yen, which is seen as a safe haven currency as tensions grow between the united states and north korea. australia is also down by almost 1%. that is it for this edition of asia business report. thank you for watching. the top stories this hour: america's top military chief arrives in south korea, as the north says it has a right to have nuclear weapons to defend itself against the us. torrential rain has caused landslides in india, while rescue operations continue in nepal, where flash—flooding has turned streets into rivers. learner drivers are to be allowed on to motor

because india isa of that? absolutely. because india is a country of 1.25 billion people. have made giant strides but the work is only half done. we have a long way to go and we recognise that and that is why the prime minister has laid out an extremely ambitious agenda for economic growth and development and to ensure that india assumes its place. it is notjust about economics. it is border issues and the treatment of women and there are still many, many areas that need specific attention. ye, but you mention the treatment of women. there are very few countries where a space programme is run by a large number of wi. 0ur women scientists have played a hugely important role in the mars orbiter mission and recently in launching a world record of 104 satellites into space. we have women, a distinguished lady as oui’ have women, a distinguished lady as our president. we have women prime minister and chief ministers, etc. of course we need to do much more but i think our law is very robust ina vibrant but i think our law is very robust in a vibrant democracy and takes ca re of

that's it from india for the moment.ge gossip on twitter — we live at: bbcclick. thanks for watching. see you soon. the national trust has accused some visitors to the lake district of treating the landscape like a music festival site. the organisation says the increasing popularity of wild camping, where people pitch a tent away from organised areas, is threatening the beauty of the region. dave guest reports. wild camping is about getting closer to nature and getting away from civilisation. it's about spending a night high upon the hills, away from civilisation, often away from other people. and spending that night with nature under the stars in a very self—sufficient, low—key manner. responsible wild campers, like these, make sure they are discreet, do not cause damage, and take everything home with them when they leave. it is traditionally something done on the high hills. what is the change you've noticed? i think new audiences have become aware of wild camping and are treating it in a different manner. there seems

and india has found a niche in the wider world.maybe that's why it's known for its it know—how, its outsourcing. and the bosses of some of the biggest tech companies in the world are indian. but it hasn't had as much luck in taking over the world of consumer technology. after all, how many indian tech brands can you name? the truth is that although there is a middle class of consumers here willing to buy brands, it's not actually that big or that rich. we're here to find out how india is preparing for its future and, let me tell you, it is reaching for the stars. in 2013, india became the fourth spacefaring nation to launch a probe into orbit around mars and, unlike those who came before them, they did it on their first attempt. the indian space research 0rganisation, isro, has been gaining a reputation for doing tons of successful space stuff on a shoestring budget. their mars mission came in atjust $74 million, that's less than it cost to make the film gravity. and, in february this year, they made history again by launching a re

to britain than it is to india.tners of india include the us, china, and germany is in the top ten. we saw angela merkel this week saying that she wants to restart the eu's talks with india on its own trade and investment agreement. and so, from the indian perspective, what is more important, a trade deal with the uk or the eu? i think that is self—explanatory. let us turn our attentions to the united states now. white house chief strategist steve bannon is the latest member of the trump administration to be fired at the end of a week in which the president's new chief of staff, john kelly, was photographed shaking his head and staring at the floor during a particularly chaotic news conference which centred on the violence in charlottesville, virginia. several commentators have described this week as a turning point. stephanie, do you think it is? no, i think it is a sort of reality tv show. i do not know what the ending is but it is extraordinary, there has never been a presidency like it, i would rather doubt whet

in that sense, india -- it now it is 74. in that sense, india —— it has survived.at where they have come from. they are in danger of making some of the mistakes that led to partition. there is a bit of intolerance in the air. mum by, now for instance, it is unbelievable. muslims sikhs live side—by—side. now there is a form of religious apartheid. houses are only sold in certain areas about what area you are in. my mother was a devout hindu, next to it was a muslim saint who we bow down to in the evenings. we got sweets from the goddess in the morning and water in the evening. each way you win. given that the partition has caused entrenched views, how can that be and picked? there is a growing middle class, even middle—class with a lot of problems, there needs to be a lot of problems, there needs to be a realisation of cultural unity. despite all the differences. and that religion doesn't hold together. looking at pakistan's story, the creation of bangladesh shows there isa creation of bangladesh shows there is a bengal culture. my folks come from bingo. in my book,

but for their grandson, india has an exciting future.to be the place to be because so much innovation and technology coming up, but at the same time i feel culturally it is a bit of a decline. largely due to censorship. pakistani tv programmes which he used to enjoy are now barred, he says. his cousin wants to know more about partition to understand why the two countries remain such suspicious neighbours. i have never felt the tension between an indian and a pakistani. i've met pakistanis when i have travelled in the us and london and otherwise, and we have got along perfectly well. but those meetings happen abroad and he has never been to pakistan, just a few miles away. the effects of partition are still strongly felt today, even for young people for whom it is just history. it is very difficult for indians to go to pakistan, there are very few transport links and very few people go in either direction. there's the undercurrent of hostility between the nations, their people might feel friendship but the two states, 70 yea rs friendship

india has vowed to make all ca i’s 2019. india has vowed to make all cars sold electric i 2030.t in sydney. i think you have to differentiate chinese case from the indian case. if you look at the background statistics, china has a penetration of electric cars around 1.4%, higher than the us. they accounted for half of all you —— will electric cars registered in 2016, around 250,000 a year. they are on a naked trajectory. also, china has an ability to provide infrastructure, because it is a decision by the government. 150,000 public charging spots exist already. i am more confident about the chinese case. there are lots of manufacturers of electric vehicles and hardly anybody else. bid and baic, they cell tens of thousands of cars per month, and found a widespread brands because they are only in china. if you look at india, i think that is a greater challenge. the current penetration is 0.02%. they sold 11,000 electric vehicles in 2016 and only 1000 were ca i’s vehicles in 2016 and only 1000 were cars out of that. that is a long way to go when it goes to 100% penetration. which c

the division of colonial india into two states — india and pakistan — in 1947 was followed by sectariankilled. partition led to the movement of around 12 million people in one of the largest migrations ever seen. many muslims fled east and west out of hindu dominated india. similarly, millions of hindus and sikhs headed the other way. that was the past — so what is today's india like. reeta chakra barti reports from amritsar. you join me at the holiest site for the sick religion, the golden temple stands in the state of punjab, which 70 years ago was terribly hurt by the horrors of partition. 0n the 70th anniversary, india is looking both at its past and at its present, and it is a mixed picture. its present day is a very optimistic one. it has a huge and young population, and a growing economy. but there has been a rise in religious violence that's been directed mostly against muslims as we report. this is a day of celebration for india. the indian prime minister talked of the country's successes, its growing economy, its efforts to tackle corruption and his vision for secure developed
