Thats like India turning around and saying to Pakistan “Kashmir is our internal matter” and the Russians saying that about Chechnya ete etc etc.

I do not believe in splitting the country but then again I am more opposed to parts of any country being forced to stay with a country against its own will. If we can support Palestine, Kashmir why not an independent Balochistan?

Pakistan has failed the Baloch and personally I think it may be too late sadly. I would hate to see Balochistan independent but then again I would hate more to see it being forced to stay with a country which it does not want to be a part of. Sadly i have met very few Baloch who believe in Pakistan anymore.

Many arguments had been put forward about the creation of Pakistan from a portion of India yet it has defied some odds. Your concerns about Balochistan would be seen as very patronising by the Baloch. They want a chance to prove themselves, why should we deny it to them?

If you mindset prevailed every nation would be balkanized to a point where every man is for himself. Our Bloch problems aren’t as complex as many are making out it to be, and most Blochs don’t want separate homeland as you’re arguing. Out of entire province, there are 3 districts that are trouble spots. Btw, Baluchistan, is like Kurdistan, under control of Pakistan, Iran and Afghanistan. If you want independent Baluchistan why should only Pakistan volunteer to give up its part?
