The Acorn » Foreign hands and Balochistan It is a dangerous thing to hope for US intervention in Balochistan, especially given its track record of support for terrorism in the past in the region, and the recent articles about the US using the same terrorist elements (i.e publicly known as “Pakistani cooperation”) to launch attacks against Iran. Investing in Balochistan not only allows China access to the Persian Gulf region, but also allows it to accelerate economic development in Xinjiang, Tibet and other provinces. And then there is the angle of the pipeline: if anything, the outbreak of violence in Balochistan makes the proposal of the Iran to India overland pipeline even less feasible. opinion.paifamily.com /index.php?p=1182   (1608 words)

The brithish division of balochistan It is a historical analysis of events, which preceded the incorporation of western Balochistan into Iran, beginning with the rise of British colonial hegemony in the region and the ensuing division of Balochistan into western and eastern halves in 1871. Ethno-geographically it comprises the Jazz Murian agricultural basin in the center and northwest, the Sarhad highlands in the north, the Mashkel lowlands and the Sarawan agricultural oasis on the east, the coastal region of Makuran in the south, and the western-most districts of ''Byaban ''and Bashkard. Consequently, control of Balochistan placed the borders of the Raj as contiguous to Iran and Afghanistan, thus enabling Britain to counter Russian moves in the two countries whose buffer status was regarded as essential to the defense of India. www.geocities.com /balochistory/bdb.html   (1608 words)

Sarbaaz.Com :': Baloch Music History and Facts - Balochistan Music History and Facts :': ((Where Baloch Click?)) One of these reasons is the big distance between Balochistan and the capital and lack of attention by former regimes to the impoverished and far flung region. Aside from dynasties such as the Sogdians whose seat of government was in Sistan and Balochistan during the second century A.D., lack of roads and communication with interior parts in the country where Iranian culture prevailed, was another reason that physically and spiritually exposed Balochi music to Indian culture. Of musical instruments in Balochistan one may refer to Tanburak (small guitar), Setar (three stringed guitar), Qalam, a flute with five or seven sections, the pitcher, the oboe, ordinary and small kettledrum, the tambourine and roebuck or Hijdah (eighteen) Tar. www.diwaan.sarbaaz.com /balochi_music_history.htm   (1608 words)

Among the most significant invasions of Balochistan was the Arab incursion in the seventh century AD, which brought far-reaching social, religious, economic and political changes into the region. Although Balochistan is rich in gas, oil, gold and other minerals and marine resources, as a result of being occupied and not trusted by the occupant regimes, the people of Balochistan are not benefiting from their vast resources and hence live in some of the poorest conditions in South East Asia. Balochistan is located in the eastern part of the Middle East, linking Central Asian states with the Indian subcontinent, the Persian Gulf and the Indian Ocean. www.unpo.org /member.php?arg=66   (3422 words)

Demand for royalty on gas pipeline -DAWN - National; 25 February, 2005 The opposition leader said it was the irony of fate that a man was representing Balochistan, who had no knowledge about its people, their traditions, region's topography and available resources on both sides of frontiers.

The traditional education in Balochistan was the religious education, which included among other subjects the Quran and the Arabic language as well as the Persian language and its literature left no place for education in Balochi. Shortly after the breakdown of this experiment in teaching Balochi in the primary schools of Balochistan, one of the leading intellectuals and advocators of the furtherance of Balochi as a literary vehicle expressed deep pessimism as to the future of Balochi, even in Pakistan, where it has a large number of speakers, mainly geographically concentrated. www.biomedhealthcare.co.uk /culture/language/carina.htm   (1862 words)

DAWN - Opinion; January 21, 2006 The timing of the Balochistan comment could not have been worse because it was made three weeks before the third round of composite dialogue between the two countries was to begin with the foreign secretary-level talks in New Delhi on January 17-18. Pakistan’s foreign secretary told reporters that Islamabad had asked New Delhi to allow “self-governance” in Kashmir and urged a cut-back of troops in the heavily militarized region. In an apparent snub to Pakistan, the external affairs ministry’s spokesman asserted that demilitarization or redeployment of security forces in Jammu and Kashmir was the sovereign decision of New Delhi and could not be dictated by any foreign government. www.dawn.com /2006/01/21/op.htm   (3142 words)

Asia Times Online :: Middle East News, Iraq, Iran current affairs Similar allegations sparked the rioting in Khuzestan this month, after a letter purportedly signed by Iranian Vice President Mohammad Ali Abtahi advising that the Arab element in the province be diluted was circulated in Balochistan, and that US special forces teams have allegedly fanned out into Iran from Afghanistan. Sections of the population claim that a systematic plan has been set in motion by the authorities over the past two years to pacify the region by changing the ethnic balance in major Balochi cities such as Zahedan, Iran-Shahr, Chabahar and Khash. Under the Shah, who was thrown out in the revolution of 1979, ethnic minorities were largely ignored and their languages banned as part of a national policy of stressing the Persian character of the state. www.atimes.com /atimes/Middle_East/GD29Ak01.html   (1837 words)

Baloch - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jadgali (a mixure of Siraeki and Punjabi)- spoken in Iranian Balochistan's Dashtiari region, Lasbela and the Makran region in Pakistani Balochistan, and in Karachi and the Sindh interior. The fourth theory is that they are the indigenous people of Balochistan and this may be partially true as the Baloch may have invaded the region and merged with a smaller local population of indeterminate origins, but it is unlikely that the Baloch are entirely of, or even mostly of, indigenous background. The most accepted and probable theory is that the Baloch came from the Caspian Sea region of northern Iran and moved into the area they now inhabit between the 11th and 13th centuries CE and this is corroborated by their Iranian language that appears to show affinities to Kurdish. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Baloch   (747 words)
