If Pakistan continues its repressive policies in Balochistan, the Baloch people will know what is best for them. There is no need for any support from India, at least until the situation primes and the request comes from Baloch people and the world opinion builds up in their favour.
Bangladesh became a reality because it was entirely the indigenous movement which got people's support because of the brutal suppression of Bengali Muslims by the Punjabi Muslims from West Pakistan. India supported Mujibur only when it became clear there are no easy options for the Bengali Muslims within Pakistan framework. India did NOT proactively go about helping create Bangladesh.
So, I believe India should wait and watch. If better sense prevails in Pakistan, Baloch region will be developed and its people treated equally.
Raman should clarify the serious charge he made - "Two months ago, the Pakistan Army reached a ceasefire agreement with the remnants of the Al Qaeda and the Taliban in North Waziristan."
Why is the USA silent on this score? Does this mean USA no more is interested in the safety of Afghanistan and capture of Al-Qaeda top brass? What proof do we have for this charge?
