Between Nation and State: The Baloch Question in an Unfinished Modernity
Author(s) | Mr. Abhishek Dadhich |
---|---|
Country | India |
Abstract | This essay places Balochistan’s nationalist aspirations within the wider debate on postcolonial belonging and state formation. It seeks not to rehearse the familiar frames of insurgency, underdevelopment, or counter-terrorism — but to listen more closely to what the Baloch themselves have been saying for decades: that the idea of Pakistan, as it evolved, never included them in spirit, even if it claimed them in law. Here, the state is not a neutral custodian of order but a deeply contested symbol one that, in the Baloch experience, stands for occupation rather than representation. The main argument of this paper is that because ethnic identity trumps religious identity, Muslim Pakistan is therefore not a nation in the classical Modern sense. |
