Not all political activity in Baluchistan can be regarded as nationalist.



The nationalism has particular features.  The focus of nationalism movement is to take over the state.  The effective federalism nationalism respect colonial powers (Iranian and Pakistan rules over Baluchistan) develop a movement that to take over state power and claim state power for themselves.
  The nationalist or federalist to achieve their objective it is essential for them to develop internal functions of co-ordination and mobilisation. Coordination is linked with the way in which the Iranian and Pakistan respectively adapts their collaboration system to pressures the Baluch.

the adaptations are important, the coordination are important in the ways in which this coordination and adaptation draws communal, tribal, regional and national levels of political action together.  For example the existences of collaborators tribal chieftain and political parties have major impact on how collaborators and national struggle for liberation organised. A conflict exists within Baluch society between collaborators and non collaborators Baluch.

Political actions by collaborators chieftain and political parties devoted their resources and energy to take over of the states powers rather than taking over Baluchistan has damaged the appeal of national liberation. The control of inner Baluchistan affair is not substitute for the national sovereignty.

The nationalist movement should be able to coordinate diverse elites and gain support in the national terms. The nationalist movement should become an expression of entire Baluch nation. Nationalist movement should be able to withstand challenges from federalist and collaborators or splits without result to conflict.


The mobilisation must be related to the structure of changes colonisers under taken in Baluchistan for example, genocide, forced disappearances, control over resources, demographic changes, economical policy, land ownership, religious, cultural, linguistic discrimination these actions of the states are the matter of concern for every Baluch everywhere.  
Attempt by states to extend their support by device such as briberies and intimidation, forced disappearances, assassinations, should forced national struggle into more popular politics.

Once the nationalist movement organised itself against states institution of occupied state and it succeeded to take power at a territorial level than it would has better idea of itself and the future independent Baluchistan. the idea of democratised version of independent Baluchistan more legitimise the nationalist claim to independent,  the democratic nation state represents the ideal and normal unit of political community.

The nationalist movement can be seen as expression of the specialised functions of which the state as public realm based and hold the modernity in the heart.

Nationalist can be seen as struggle to express certain ideals and actions which join the two different sphere of activity together. It should develop from the upward movement of variety of local conflicts within Baluch society and coordinated system to the occupied Baluchistan level.

The nationalist movement must develop specialised political forms which enable it to negotiate with the external and external powers in these way it take on a political character appropriate to politics in the modern state. It invests its political with images and expressions which enable it to claim to stand for the interests of the Baluch people.

The Baluch nationalist movement is not simply a modern political movement aiming to take state power. It is also a movement seeks to preserve it hold upon the Baluch people and claim a state for the Baluch people.
The nationalist movement should not cling on tribalism, because the coloniser may impede nationalist progress through tribal chieftain, yet nationalism is not incompatible with factional and tribal. It is upon the nationalist movement to build territorial nationalist movement. The nationalism is a way to combine traditions and modern politics and the effort must be taken seriously because the balance between collaborators and nationalist breakdown with assumption of independence.


The individual autonomy and national right to self determination and man right to choose one destiny has wakened colonial rules. The Baluch national struggle for liberation is a legitimate and it’s up to colonial forces to cease their colonial ambition and recognise Baluch historical right as free and independent nation.
An Independent Baluchistan is a legitimate alternative and universal claim that nation must have state in order to protect their national identity and national interest. An Independent Baluchistan provides security to Baluch people and provides stability to south Asia.
