| —Rahul Tiwari | |
| Abstract | |
|
This paper examines the complex historical and political landscape of Pakistan, focusing on separatist
movements in major provinces, particularly Balochistan. It explores the roots of these movements, tracing them
back to the partition of British India in 1947 and the subsequent challenges faced by the newly formed nation.
The study highlights the ongoing struggle for autonomy in Balochistan, detailing human rights violations,
enforced disappearances, and extrajudicial killings allegedly perpetrated by state security forces. The paper also
touches upon separatist sentiments in other regions such as Sindh, Gilgit-Baltistan, and the issues faced by the
Pashtun community in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. It emphasizes the need for a comprehensive, inclusive approach
to address these regional conflicts and foster national unity.
