Pakistan's Balkanization

Ethnic minorities and diasporas have seldom come in the way of the aspirations of mainland communities. We have so many examples in history. There are as many Muslims in India (if not more) as in Pakistan but Pakistan came into being on the basis of a separate homeland for Mulims. Why not look at China (Chinese all the way upto Indonesia), Russia (Russian minorities throughout Central Asia), Tajakistan (Uzbaks), Uzbakistan (Tashkand is primarily a Tajak city), etc.

Yugoslavia itself is an example. There are serbs in Bosnia-Herzgovia, Bosnian Muslims in Serbia, Croatians in Serbia, Serbians in Croatia, etc.

In these circumstances, UN charter, international norms and conventions, and state responsibility come in play to protect minorities.
