In the game Sid Meier's Civilization, it takes longer, but you get a higher score for a cultural victory.

Isn't this true Bollywood industry is strongly controled my muslims and many of their top stars are muslims? There was a piece on this when the muslim convert music producer sang his hit song at Oscars.

I wouldn't say Bollywood is "controlled" by Muslims but they certainly are an important part of Indian pop culture.
I am of Indian descent and always point to India as a strong example of how moderate Muslims can be.

Sure, there are those who seek to derail Hindu-Muslim peace but by far and large Muslims in India are very reasonable people and comprise an important, albeit minority, segment of India's modern economic expansion.

Also, Pakistani musicians, actors and comedians frequently perform in India and have lots of Indian fans of all religious backgrounds. India offers a huge market to Pakistani performers and they take full advantage of that.

India is a great influence and we trade with them.

Yes. It would be better if Pakistan would trade more with India.
