Only if the dump religion

Get a commitment from this guy if he will dump Islam when Balochis are independent. Ask him if he is going to chop heads and hands and build madarass? better still if he will encourage all Balochis to revert to their original Hindu ways. If not, its no point. dont get involved in another Bangladesh !

Deepak, It is a good point you have made. Bangladesh would have been less of a disappointment for us if that mature founing Premier, Mujibhur Rehaman, had not been murdered by very immature, young army officers. Now, B'desh is also paying the price for that violent start. Politically, that country is in a mess.
But you may recall that "Frontier Gandhi" Khan Abdul Ghafoor Khan and his Khudai Kidmadgars were AGAINST PARTITION. The NWFP (including part of Baluchistan) voted against Pakistan. I am not sure, but there were Baluchis in the Congress and worked for Congress in Baluchistan. They are an ancient people like the KURDS and their culture should be preserved from West Punjabi domination and destruction by the Pak.army.
Both "Mengal" and "Marri" sound like Hindu surnames. "Mangal" is Vedic-Sanskrit meaning "auspicious, productive, plenty" = e.g. "Mangal Muhurath" or "Mangal Suthru". "Mareechi" was a Vedic Hindu surname - the name of a Rishi, who may have lived in the border of Sindh and Baluchistan. The name "Marri" is very likely a derivative of "Mareechi".
There are several other Pakistani surnames- all historically Hindu surnames. Gokul, Kalash, Ranjah, Bhutto, Choudhry, Cheema, Patel (of course) Bhatt, Kayani (the present Chief of Pak. army has that surname!!) Bhasani and so on. You can make a very long list. None of them is of Arabic origin, I am told.

Great wisdom Kris ! Exactly why should India get excited about a secessionist movement in Pakistan? what purpose would it serve if these people become jihadists? did US get thanked for helping Afghans throw out Russians?

Deepak, As you say, the Americans were dismayed to see Afghanistan turn out to be "Talibanistan", very soon after they left. After spending huge amounts of monies and then celebrating the defeat of the "Soviets", it was quite a humiliation and disappointment for the Americans.
As we know, they over-reacted by invading Iraq. There real target should have been Pakistan, for them to set aright. Then, controlling Afghanistan would have come out right.
Now, they are really struggling in southern Afghanistan because Pakistan supports these Jihadis, running back into Pak territory -"shoot and scoot".
In my view, American foreign policy is dumb, although when you hear them "analyse" it sounds all wonderful, sophisticated. In reality the Americans are gullible, almost idiotic in most of their policies in Asia and Mid-East. I cannot extend their stupidity beyond that.
