Re: Another world record but sad , Mama Qadir’s Long March for Missing Baluchs
Wrong. Baloch people do not call non-Baloch “daalkhors”. It’s some Afghans who use that epithet in social media when referring to certain Pakistani ethnicities and it goes without saying that mocking of what others purportedly eat is, at once, disgusting and sad, all the more so when we consider the fact that there are so many people in the world who unfortunately go to bed hungry.
The alienation of Baloch from and the problem they have with Pakistan, however, stem from the unstinting exploitation of their resources and deprivation of their rights, historical grievances as well as contemporary “irritants” such as the appalling mass graves that are being found in the Balochistan province. These are very real issues. So let’s not rub salt into the wounds of Baloch and try to cast them as racists who somehow consider themselves racially superior based on their perception of dietary customs or lack thereof of people belonging to other ethnic groups. That’s not the case.
