The Pashtun question in the so called "Balochistan" province!

The northern districts of the current so called "Balochistan province" are overwhelmingly Pashtun majority districts. The Pashtuns are a distinct people from the other major nationality of the province i.e. the Baloch & share the same language, culture and history with the geographically contiguous Pashtunkhwa province in the north. These Pashtun areas were annexed from Afghanistan in the 19th century after the second Anglo-Afghan war & have been made part of the current Balochistan province only after 1970. A more just solution to this issue would have been to merge these areas into the then Pashtun N.W.F.P. province or to restore the earlier Pashtun majority Chief commissioner province which consisted mainly of these Pashtun areas alongwith a couple of Baloch districts before the infamous & draconian One-Unit scheme aboished it in 1956.

Pashtuns- a distinct people from the Baloch - form the overwhelming majority of the northern districts of the so called "Balochistan province". They share their language, culture & history with their co-ethnics in the geogrpahically contiguous Pashtunkhwa province in the north instead of the Baloch. These "Pashtuns of balochistan" have never lived in the same administrative unit with the Baloch people before the current province was unjustly imposed upon them in 1970.
