Getting around

Passport reach
what the passport opens
India's passport reaches 26 destinations visa-free to Pakistan's 10 — India opens more doors without a visa. Passport strength shifts over years of naturalisation, not months of planning, so it's a long-horizon footnote — not scored in the tally.
