Kumar, I'm curious as to why you think that the sample size is statistically insignificant. The article states that 3306 people were questioned in India and Pakistan. We don't know the breakdown between countries but a 50:50 split would imply a 2.5% margin of error in each country. A sample size of 1200 is still less than 3% M of E.

17,000 respondents in 15 countries gives an average country sample of 1133 which keeps the margin of error in the 3% range. Of course, if some countries had much smaller samples the M of E would be somewhat higher.
