Will our geography change? Will a new country emerge on the South Asian map? Is Pakistan on the verge of breaking apart again? And will India get a chance to correct its nearly 80-year-old mistake? Fueling many such questions, a raging fire of anti-Pakistan sentiment is burning fiercely in Balochistan. Thus, the politics of South Asia is gradually changing. Balochistan is ablaze with protests, and the heat of this fire is also being felt in Pashtunistan.

On the other hand, the Pakistani military is perpetrating severe human rights abuses in Balochistan to quell the nationalist insurgency. The region has witnessed thousands of killings, targeted assassinations of intellectuals, and widespread use of force, arrests, and brutality. Despite this, the resistance persists. The underlying cause of the unrest is Pakistan's continued occupation of Balochistan, which the Baloch people view as an infringement on their rights and sovereignty. The review of the situation corroborates the facts mentioned earlier.

The Balochistan region, spanning across southwestern Pakistan, southeastern Iran, and southern Afghanistan, has been embroiled in a protracted conflict that has defied resolution for decades. This intractable dispute has pitted the Pakistani government against Baloch nationalist groups, with the Iranian government and Islamist militants also entangled in the fray. Thus the conflict involves a diverse array of stakeholders including the Pakistani and Iranian governments, Baloch nationalist groups, Islamic militants, and external powers such as the United States and China.
