The iron is hot

It is always beneficial to negotiate from a position of strength. The killing of Nawab Bugti and resurgence of Baluch Nationalism in Baluhistan has given one such opportunity to India and its Intelligence Agencies.
Its the right time for India to start supporting insurgency in Baluchistan, with money and weapons. Baluchistan, with its energy reserves and Strategic localtion can become Pakistan's answer to Dubai. And with the development plans that Pakistani establishment has for Baluchistan, it will be a strategic set back for them to have insurgency in the area to contend with.
And once the insurgency in the area has taken root, India can force Pakistan on the negotiation table and offer them peace in Baluhistan in return of peace in Kashmir.
Few things that favour us are that the Baluhis are not the followers of Wahabi Sect. They are the moderate sunnis and hence can be more compatible to the Indian game plan. Moreover, with the improved relations that we have with Afghanistan, it can be the launch pad for Baluchi nationalists and command and control centre for India.
But a word of caution here. Any such plan in Baluchistan, should only be given monetary support and weapons
