...........a blog on Balochistan and it's struggle for freedom.... from the daughters of India......

In shifting the focus to not just Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir (POK), the long neglected part of India under Pakistan's illegal occupation, but also to Balochistan, an independent state that Pakistan forcibly occupied and colonised, the Modi government seems to be signalling its intention of taking the fight to the enemy.

The quibbling from PM Narendra Modi's incorrigible detractors aside, his repeated references to flagrant human rights violations in Balochistan and POK - he has after all only referred to universal principles which transcend state sovereignty, a line taken by not just the West but also, rather disingenuously, by the Pakistanis - at least on the face of it, appears to be a significant policy shift.

But will this policy be limited to only firing verbal missiles which are nothing more than pin-pricks aimed at scoring points over the Pakistanis by pointing to their abysmal and scandalous treatment of the Baloch and people of POK?

Or, will this new policy involve giving "diplomatic, moral and political support" - to use the Pakistani formulation on Kashmir - to the Baloch freedom fighters and Kashmiris struggling to shake off Pakistan's yoke?

Equally important is the question of whether this policy will be a national policy or a policy of a particular government.

If it is the latter then its chances of success are extremely limited; if it is the former then it will mean that all elements of national power will be brought to bear for this policy's success.

There is also the question of whether this policy is based on the merits of Balochistan's case for independence or it is merely a leverage to be used against Pakistan for a quid pro quo on Kashmir?

While it is true that there is no comparison between Balochistan and Kashmir - the former is a forcibly occupied state struggling for freedom while the latter is an integral part of India under Pakistan's illegal occupation - a quid pro quo would do great injustice to the cause and struggle of the Baloch, smear India's reputation as an unreliable friend and in the long run keep the India-Pakistan stalemate alive.

............India my India your India our India ............

should support the Baloch freedom struggle neither because it wants to sock it back to Pakistan, nor for a trade-off on Kashmir - both will have a very short shelf-life - but because an independent Balochistan would be a strategic masterstroke and would create a pro-India, secular and progressive Muslim country in the region.

Assuming that India will from now give "diplomatic, moral and political support" to the Baloch, there will be the interlinked question of how this will be done and what will be the implications of this strategy on India's foreign policy.

...........from the daughters of India and more so not just RAW ....
