Ok fine, cant help with that. by the way, there are almost same number of Baloch living in rest of Pakistan as in Balochistan. looks like the entire country will get another independence from itself going by that standard. being anti- Pakistani is a fashion statement these days .. it makes you interesting
some are like Najam Shethi who mock the idea of 2 nation theory
some are like taliban sack suckers who believe in Islamic Emirates of Afghanistan & Pakistan
some are like expats who just hate everything about their country of origin
and some seem to act like African Americans & are upset that they have been wronged & the world owes them an apology.
just because you mentioned Bangladesh I will like to remind you who it was that let Mojeeb go after Agar talla conspiracy? politicians... and who it is who has named trains named after a terrorist? the politicians... who is pressing charges of treason who fought the enemies of Pakistan? politicians again
so yea.. cry like a bimbo now because we are doomed and ignore the stern warning that "despair is a sin"
Saraaa fire mujhee par hii khoool diyaaa !
Irfan Bhai, I'm just sharing my experience - I've never been to Quetta so I dunno whats happening there on the ground & the Baluch from the other provinces especially here in Southern Parts of Punjab are indeed very Pro-Pakistan but then again they like (say!) Hindko speaking Pukhtoons are different than their Baluchi speaking Baluch Brethren in Baluchistan which means maybe they're not a very good barometer to judge what is or isn't happening in Baluchistan !
So all I'm left with are three sources :
(i) my Baluch friends - They don't hate Pakistan or anything like it but they do feel they've been wronged by us & they might not be wrong in saying that !
The people of Baluchistan have been for too long exempt from economic & social development that they deserved !
Even in '48, Quaid-e-Azam recognized this & made Baluchistan - the Governor's Province to speed up development work but after he died just as we destroyed the rest of the country we forgot about Baluchistan too !
(ii) my family members who live in Quetta (Punjabi Settlers of Kashmiri Descent, if you will) - Some of them have left Baluchistan altogether because of life-threats & what not !
Almost all of them have sent their children to either Karachi or Lahore or Islamabad or abroad because they don't see things improving in either the short or the long term there !
Some have even lost their dear loved ones to the difficult conditions therein.
Even some of the Pukhtoon - I have as family members - are not too sure about things getting better in Baluchistan soon !
Certainly their Hazara friends are leaving as soon as an opportunity presents itself - Some are here in Lahore studying with me too !
(iii) the Media - All of it can't be a lie if its true like it was being reported in different media outlets that even during the Earthquake many people, in Awaran, refused to take supplies from the Army & other such incidents then the mistrust & the dislike must be real !
I just don't know what to make of it !
