Balochistan was an independent State of Kalat until 1947.After the British forces decided to withdraw from the Indian subcontinent; Lord Mountbatten held a meeting and declared State of Kalat as independent. However, on 27 March 1948, the then Pakistani government mobilised armed forces against the State of Kalat and forced an instrument of accession, thereby renaming the State of Kalat as Balochistan and declared it as a part of Pakistan. The Baloch nationalists, however, rejected the accession, and by 1950s, mooted the idea of a separate Balochistan through „self-determination‟. In 1951, a Balochistan States Union was created including Lasbela, Kharan, Makran and Kalat. It was administered by Khan of Kalat as its president and a civil servant as its prime minister. However, the Khan of Kalat was suspected by the federal government for carrying out a secessionist policy. This led to the dissolution of Balochistan State Union assembly. In 1955, one unit policy was adopted by Pakistan. This led to the demand for provincial autonomy. Finally, in 1970 Balochistan was granted as a fully-fledged province of Pakistan. However, there was political instability, and subsequently the first democratically elected Mengal government was dismissed by Zulfikar Ali Bhutto. Thus, the Baloch citizens lost faith in democratic means within the framework of Pakistan and its constitutional process which led to Baloch students taking up arms to prevent marginalisation of community. This has been the starting point for series of insurgencies and rebel attacks. Pakistan started imposing its state apparatus to repress all by upsurge of activities against the government. Conceptually, a state repression involves the actual or threatened use of physical sanctions against an individual or organisation within the territorial jurisdiction of the state, for the purpose of imposing a cost on the target as well as the deterring specific 1 activities and beliefs perceived to be challenging to government personnel practise or institution. To curb the Baloch rebellion, the Pakistani state subsequently adopted methods of abduction, target killing, extra judicial detainment and so on. Since then, Pakistan has been channelizing all its forces to assert its control over this area. Balochistan has witnessed a major demographic, social, political and economic change, ever since it became part of Pakistan. There has been increase in death toll and constant violence. Repressive measures such as abduction, extra judicial killing, target killing, media censorship, and above all militarization of the state are some of the major ongoing issues in the state. Today, Baloch leaders are agitating vociferously in Pakistani Parliament and outside against the setting up of new cantonments in the province at Sui, Kohlu and Gwadar. Besides the four existing cantonment at Quetta, Sibi, Loralai and Khuzdar; the province also has three naval base, four missile testing sites, two nuclear development sites and 59 paramilitary facilities . These cantonments have over the years become centres of parallel authority beyond the provincial and local government. Baloch perceive these cantonments as nothing but grabbing and forceful occupation of their traditional land by the army (Bansal, 2010).To further complicate the problem, the state has been witnessing abductions and extra-judicial killings. This has led to issues related to underdevelopment of the state and protection and welfare of its citizenry, leading to a demand for autonomy and secession of Balochistan from Pakistan. In its classical formulation, security means the protection and welfare of the state.

  • Old Habits, New Consequences Old Habits, New Khalid Homayun Consequences Nadiri Pakistan’S Posture Toward Afghanistan Since 2001
    Old Habits, New Consequences Old Habits, New Khalid Homayun Consequences Nadiri Pakistan’s Posture toward Afghanistan since 2001 Since the terrorist at- tacks of September 11, 2001, Pakistan has pursued a seemingly incongruous course of action in Afghanistan. It has participated in the U.S. and interna- tional intervention in Afghanistan both by allying itself with the military cam- paign against the Afghan Taliban and al-Qaida and by serving as the primary transit route for international military forces and matériel into Afghanistan.1 At the same time, the Pakistani security establishment has permitted much of the Afghan Taliban’s political leadership and many of its military command- ers to visit or reside in Pakistani urban centers. Why has Pakistan adopted this posture of Afghan Taliban accommodation despite its nominal participa- tion in the Afghanistan intervention and its public commitment to peace and stability in Afghanistan?2 This incongruence is all the more puzzling in light of the expansion of insurgent violence directed against Islamabad by the Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), a coalition of militant organizations that are independent of the Afghan Taliban but that nonetheless possess social and po- litical links with Afghan cadres of the Taliban movement. With violence against Pakistan growing increasingly indiscriminate and costly, it remains un- clear why Islamabad has opted to accommodate the Afghan Taliban through- out the post-2001 period. Despite a considerable body of academic and journalistic literature on Pakistan’s relationship with Afghanistan since 2001, the subject of Pakistani accommodation of the Afghan Taliban remains largely unaddressed. Much of the existing literature identiªes Pakistan’s security competition with India as the exclusive or predominant driver of Pakistani policy vis-à-vis the Afghan Khalid Homayun Nadiri is a Ph.D.

  • The Thistle and the Drone
    AKBAR AHMED HOW AMERICA’S WAR ON TERROR BECAME A GLOBAL WAR ON TRIBAL ISLAM n the wake of the 9/11 attacks, the United States declared war on terrorism. More than ten years later, the results are decidedly mixed. Here world-renowned author, diplomat, and scholar Akbar Ahmed reveals an important yet largely ignored result of this war: in many nations it has exacerbated the already broken relationship between central I governments and the largely rural Muslim tribal societies on the peripheries of both Muslim and non-Muslim nations. The center and the periphery are engaged in a mutually destructive civil war across the globe, a conflict that has been intensified by the war on terror. Conflicts between governments and tribal societies predate the war on terror in many regions, from South Asia to the Middle East to North Africa, pitting those in the centers of power against those who live in the outlying provinces. Akbar Ahmed’s unique study demonstrates that this conflict between the center and the periphery has entered a new and dangerous stage with U.S. involvement after 9/11 and the deployment of drones, in the hunt for al Qaeda, threatening the very existence of many tribal societies. American firepower and its vast anti-terror network have turned the war on terror into a global war on tribal Islam. And too often the victims are innocent children at school, women in their homes, workers simply trying to earn a living, and worshipers in their mosques. Bat- tered by military attacks or drone strikes one day and suicide bombers the next, the tribes bemoan, “Every day is like 9/11 for us.” In The Thistle and the Drone, the third vol- ume in Ahmed’s groundbreaking trilogy examin- ing relations between America and the Muslim world, the author draws on forty case studies representing the global span of Islam to demon- strate how the U.S.

    - 377 - Bi-Annual Research Journal “BALOCHISTAN REVIEW” ISSN 1810-2174 Balochistan Study Centre, University of Balochistan, Quetta (Pakistan) VOL. XXXVI NO. 1, 2017 Makran in the Democratic Process of the Elections in Pakistan Social Sciences and Humanities Mumtaz Ali1, Dr. Muhammad Alam2 Abstract Elections are the part of democratic society which needs to run and promote the democratic values and system. As far as Makran is concerned it is quite clear that this region always remained political and democratic. This society is structured on kinship basis. All decisions are made at household level and no tribal structure is present to make collective decision. Communal leadership is a function of aged people in the community. In this article, I will analyze the electoral behaviours of the people of Makran, and then compare the different election results of Makran region. Key words: Democratic Process, Electoral Behaviour, Electoral Politics, Legislative Body, Makran Introduction Balochistan is a largest province of Pakistan. It is spread over 347000 km, and divided into 8 divisions. Every division has different history during the election process. One important division of Balochistan is Makran. This division consists of three districts Panjgur, Kech and Gwadar. This division performed a different role in every election than other parts of Balochistan. Makran actively participated in every local, provincial and national election and changed its representatives from time to time. On the other hand the rest of Balochistan mostly continued the hereditary system of the representatives. Elections Modern nations have big states with huge territories and populations. It is really impossible for the public of such states to gather at one place for political matters.

  • Balochistan Economic Report Background Paper on Social Structures and Migration
    First Draft - Do Not Cite TA4757-PAK: BALOCHISTAN ECONOMIC REPORT Balochistan Economic Report Background Paper on Social Structures and Migration Haris Gazdar 28 February 2007 Collective for Social Science Research 173-I Block 2, PECHS, Karachi 75400, Pakistan [email protected] The author gratefully acknowledges research assistance provided by Azmat Ali Budhani, Sohail Javed, Hussain Bux Mallah, and Noorulain Masood. Irfan Khan provided guidance with resource material and advised on historical references. Introduction Compared with other provinces of Pakistan, and Pakistan taken as a whole, Balochistan’s economic and social development appears to face particularly daunting challenges. The province starts from a relatively low level – in terms of social achievements such as health, education and gender equity indicators, economic development and physical infrastructure. The fact that Balochistan covers nearly half of the land area of Pakistan while accounting for only a twentieth of the country’s population is a stark enough reminder that any understanding of the province’s economic and social development will need to pay attention to its geographical and demographic peculiarities. Indeed, remoteness, environmental fragility and geographical diversity might be viewed as defining the context of development in the province. But interestingly, Balochistan’s geography might also be its main economic resource. The low population density implies that the province enjoys a potentially high value of natural resources per person. The forbidding topography is home to rich mineral deposits – some of which have been explored and exploited while yet others remain to be put to economic use. The land mass of the province endows Pakistan with a strategic space that might shorten trade and travel costs between emerging economic regions.
