The Myth of Greater Baluchistan Debunked

One of the comments in the thread that followed my article on Global Village Space “The U.S. Deep State Recklessly Edging its Way towards Balkanization of Pakistan” regrettably hinted at an awfully sad reality:  the extent of ignorance as well as that of deliberate disinformation prevalent in regards to the case of Baluchistan not to mention the intensity of bitterness among a section of the Baluch.  The said comment not only reflected as to how uninformed and/or misinformed sections of our general population may be regarding the matter, it also revealed how naïve humans can be even in this time and age so as to actually believe that global tyrants of modern history, who have unceasingly contributed to precipitating and propagating unrest in the region for over a century, could become their saviour.  Undoubtedly the propaganda machinery employed by global powers with long term vested interest in the region has effectively influenced the meek and gullible.  And parallel to this, history has also witnessed a handful of turncoats among the Baluch elite who have been way too eager to play in the hands of global war mongers for the sake of self-centred interest.  Nonetheless, the saddest of facts pertaining to the matter under discussion, is that Jinnah’s vision for Baluchistan was purposefully and/or imprudently put aside by the succeeding rulers of Pakistan.  From the looks of it none of them had the vision to fathom the long term geo-political game already in the works at the time nor could they ever measure up to Jinnah’s noble and earnest concern for the Baluch people or for that matter the new-born state of Pakistan.  Hence the bitter resentment harboured by sections of Baluch population over the course of past seven decades that has been exploited and manipulated as a much welcome catalyst to further the agenda of the Great Game in the region.

The U.S. Deep State Recklessly Edging towards Balkanization of Pakistan

If we are looking for the unabashed bottom line of the latest version of the U.S. strategy on Afghanistan, or shall we say an outline of the next episode of the New World Order drama, in its most succinct form, the following words of Trump’s elaborate discourse delivered on August 21, 2017 would suffice: “Our troops will fight to win. We will fight to win.  From now on, victory will have a clear definition: attacking our enemies, obliterating ISIS, crushing al Qaeda, preventing the Taliban from taking over Afghanistan, and stopping mass terror attacks against America before they emerge… Conditions on the ground, not arbitrary timetables, will guide our strategy from now on.”
