Adoption of a State Policy to support the Baloch is essential

By Archen Baloch

On policy matters it would be fatally harmful to genuine Baloch national cause for freedom if India fails to adopt a state policy in the immediate future about the ideology of Balochistan independence; because the Indian reluctance to seriously support Baluchistan freedom movement would justify Pakistan’s claims that the insurgency in Balochistan is a proxy war of India against Pakistan.

The growing impression in Baloch political society is that India is not going to adopt a solid-state policy for Balochistan freedom – a policy about which Hyrbyair Marri and other Baloch national leaders have time and again explained in their various statements in the context of the current geopolitics of the region.

The Baloch leadership emphasised that there would be no peace in South and Central Asia so long as Balochistan remains under Pakistani colonial rule. It will be difficult win a war against intolerant forces and extremists if the Western world and India continues to ignore the secular Baloch. Therefore, Adoption of a clear-cut State Policy- an acknowledgment of Baluchistan’s status as an independent state – is crucial for all stockholders to bring peace in the region.

One of the essential things in the overall scheme of support to Baloch is that all foreign friends of Balochistan, especially the Indian, American and Afghan policy makers must avoid encouraging individualistic approaches in order to lend support to Balochistan liberation movement. The individualistic approaches should be considered as plots to disintegrate and weaken the Baloch national efforts to break free from the yoke of Pakistan’s occupation. Therefore, a collective approach would be well advised for a comprehensive strategy to advance and support the cause of Baloch liberation struggle.

The bloody Black Friday: British Still on the Wrong side of Baloch History

By Archen Baloch On Friday, 30th Sept 2022 Iranian forces killed more than 60 unarmed peaceful Baloch protesters and injured more than 275 people in the streets of Zahedan, the capital city of Iranian occupied Balochistan. The protest was a spontaneous uprising by its nature, because, apparently no political party had given the call for it. According to confirmed reports, widely available on social media in Persian and Balochi languages, the protests across Iranian-occupied Balochistan erupted when the news emerged that the police head of the coastal city of Chabahar, Colonel Ebrahim Kochzai, had raped a 15-year-old Baloch girl Maho Baloch on 27th September after arresting her for investigation. This ugly act of rape of a Baloch girl had taken place at a time when entire non-Persian nations, the Kurds and Ahvazi Arabs were protesting the murder of Kurdish girl, Mahsa Amini across Iran. Further information suggests college and university students across Balochistan have also come out

The Slogan of – Pakistan Quit Balochistan

By Archen Baloch On 27th March 1948 Pakistan army invaded the sovereign state of Balochistan and forced the legitimate ruler, Khan of Kalat, Mir Ahmad Yar Khan to sign the merger agreement with Pakistan against the will of the Baloch nation. Baloch, under the leadership of Khan’s younger brother, Agha Abdul Kareem resisted this aggression but they were weak and the International community, especially the neighbouring countries, Afghanistan, Oman and India didn’t support them. The British Raj left Baloch at the mercy of religious Pakistan and in fact, British were instrumental in nudging and forcing Pakistan to occupy Balochistan. Our weakness was that the British, under the divide and rule policy, had antagonized the heads of almost all tribes against the Khan of Kalat. This antagonism among Baloch tribes always rendered the federal character of Kalat extremely weak. The British Raj also never allowed Balochistan to have its own formal defence force, except a light levy force for

The Enemy at the Gates: The Baloch Perspective

22nd August 2020 Photo credit: Arnica Kala / The Quint By Archen Baloch It suddenly emerged that China would pour a whopping amount of $ 400 billion into Iran for a 25 years’ strategic security and economic deal! This huge amount of money in the neighborhood is not only mouthwatering for the cash stripped Pakistan, but also it has raised security alarm for peaceful Gulf States, India, Israel America and the Baloch nation as well. The cash stripped Pakistan is now eyeing for a jackal’s share in this China-Iran-Nexus deal, despite the fact that it had already got its lion share from Belt and Road initiative of China in the form of China Pakistan Economic Corridor at the cost of Baloch blood. However, to win Iran’s confidence for the jackal’s share, Pakistan has now started to distance itself from Saudi Arabia by blaming it that it is not supporting Kashmir’s cause. In fact, for quite a time, Riyadh has been trying to keep Pakistan away from the Iranian sphere of influence by offering
