Are ethnic Baloch destined to dissappear?

Balochistan is going to have to open up economically in the future. Wether forcefully, or voluntarily is up to them…but it will have to open up eventually. Especially when you throw gawadar in the mix.

So…when that happens, this is where my question arises from. What happens when people start moving to Balochistan to the economic hotzones. What will happen to the tiny minority of ethnic Baloch (few million?!) when people from other areas of Pakistan move towards Gawadar and stay there. Perhaps, they will be phased out slowly in the process of 20-30 years. What do you think?

FYI.

There are millions of ethnic Balochi people living in interior Sindh, Karachi, and southern Punjab - probably as many as do in Balochistan province itself. So id the Baloch are going to "disappear" it will only be to other parts within Pakistan.

Well you have already grabbed their entire resources, sucked their entire blood (gas) which is diminishing so rapidly and yet you are not satisfied and want to exterminate them in totality.
Dont push them against the wall. You will have to be answerable one day.
