Indian intelligence has to come out of its shell and revive its offensive capabilities. Balochistan freedom will be a reality if we (Indian and Israel) focus on both the Iranian and Pakistani held Baloch regions. Freedom struggle should be fought on popular civilian/diplomatic as well as military/insurgency/subversive fronts.

we should do everything we can for the Baloch - but we should be realistic too. It's a long supply line to the Baloch - through unfriendly territory.

the Baloch are useful to keep some Pakistanis forces tied down - but independence for them could be a long way off

Well, both Sindh and Balochistan can be helped. After all, we do have strong cultural and ethnic ties to Sindh as well. So I don't see why Sindh automatically has to stay unfriendly territory, especially when it's been invaded by Mohajirs.

The sounds of the gun fire are eerie. I cannot imagine listening to them around my neighbourhood; being used to be woken up by the early morning chirping of the birds and the gentle sway of the wind. The smell is pure and pristine and is fresh; it doesnt reek of charred human remains. Neither do I hear the wailing of the widows, I know my mother and sister would be safe wherever they are and I take my existence in the scheme of the things for granted.

These videos are a grim reminder of the realities across the world where they become mere images and news headlines. But analyse and scrutinise them carefully and one realises that they are a result of "territorial ambitions" crushing on the genuine freedom of the people.
