== What is the point of this Anglo propaganda? ==
== Map ==

Shouldnt the map also show the conflicted area in Iran? It is only showing the balochistan part of pakistan.] (]) 23:58, 21 November 2014 (UTC)
: Agreed. But who will do it and based on what sources? <span style="font-family:'Candara',sans-serif;">] ]</span> 21:57, 20 December 2014 (UTC)

== adding to article ==

Have made a to the article. I use a lot of "according to ..." before telling what was said, and used a lot of quotations. I may make the writing more clunky but I thought it necessary because of the sensitive nature of the topic.

Have also separated info on the conflict in Iran in a separate section. Almost all the article is about the conflict in Pakistan that I thought it would server users better to consolidate the Iran story in one section and add more info to it. -- ] (]) 22:16, 28 June 2015 (UTC)

==Indian involvement==
You cannot state, as fact, that India has admitted support for Baloch rebels. I would ask that another editor revert this repeated introduction of inappropriate material. Also, the conflict has not subsided and claiming this is rather silly. ] (]) 02:16, 27 January 2016 (UTC)

== Insurgency in Balochistan ==
::Let me answer point by point.
::*Adding Indian POV is not a violation of the policies. The section was completely non-neutral, so I was just making it balanced.
::*It is natural for Pakistan to declare those organisations who fight for Baloch independence as terrorist groups. Does that mean that their opinion should not be given a place?
::*Karima Baloch is the chairperson of BSO Azad, whom Pakistan alleges to have connections with Kulbhushan Yadav. That makes her statement even more important to have a balanced view of the allegations put on India.
::*I fail to understand that how can Karima Baloch's statement be undermined just because she is a refugee. Let me tell you again that she is the chairperson of the same group that is alleged to receive support from India. Therefore her refusal regarding that allegation has to be mentioned for a NPOV.
::*If anyone suspects me of sock-puppetry then I will appreciate if he/she requests for a CU to get his/her doubts cleared.
::*The allegation that I am pushing the Indian view on a Pak-related article is baseless. The Balochistan conflict is connected to India because of the allegations by Pak. If I find any official reactions by India to these allegations, then I will add them too in order to present a neutral view to the readers. ]] 13:33, 9 May 2016 (UTC)

Also, equating hardcore terrorists whose actions have affected the entire world with every Tommy, Dickie and Hamesh wannabie terrorist and mentioning their views in the lede is not justified. ] is the case in point. Going by this, we should be copy/pasting the entire commentary taking place at twitter or facebook in articles. Also, DNA being an RS does not matter if the individual it is quoting is not reliable. Especially, if we know on one hand that insurgency in Balochistan is being supported by India and at the same time an Indian newspaper (alone) is trying to propagate the views of terrorists it is (supposedly) supporting. If yes, views of Karima Baloch are to mentioned, then the aspect of her getting airtime, support and propagation by India and its news organizations should also be mentioned in the intrest of ]. BTW, searching Karmia Baloch gives some results, but almost all of them are from these terrorist organizations' propaganda websites or their propaganda YouTube channels, not much RS here, so we need to be careful in turning WP into their mouthpiece.—]&nbsp;<sup>] </sup> 16:30, 10 May 2016 (UTC)

What is the point of this Anglo propaganda?

The article says: "Baloch separatists argue they are economically marginalised and poor compared to the rest of Pakistan. China has invested $46 billion in the region."

Then quote an Anglo news as a source and proceed to say nothing with nothing. What is the point of this propaganda? What do they want to imply with this traditional Machiavellian narrative?

Why doesn't the article say how much the Anglo empires "invested" or literally stole from this region in all their invasions and centuries of colonialism? Of course the "free" CIApedia does not allow editions...
