Separations of Northern Balochistan from
Western to Eastern Balochistan are artificial

Diversity as much as
struggle, is a fundamental characteristic of the universe. Diversity is
worthy of notice, because diversity is a design of god.
God has scattered men all over the world, and then exposed them to various
climates and environments.
God must have willed that all the possible varieties of creation should
have a chance to live and realize themselves in their own individual
fashion. Spontaneity is the gift of those who retain their own peculiar
character, who are not corrupted by veneer of civilization; while those
who do not cherish their own individuality, who move from one culture to
another, from one civilization to another, are homeless parasites, doomed
to artificial and sterility.
Diversity which is willed by god, has come to mean not only that every
culture, every individuality, has a unique incomparable value, but also
that there is a duty laid upon us to cultivate our own peculiar qualities
and not mix or merge them with other.
Only if man is conscious of his individuality in his present conduct
(argued SCHLEIERMACHER) can he be sure of not violating in his next act,
and only if he require himself constantly to survey the whole of humanity
opposing his own expression of it to every other possible one, can he
maintain the consciousness of his unique selfhood.
Since god has separated the nations, they should not be combined. Every
nationality destined through its peculiar organization and its place in
the world to represent a certain side of the divine image.
From the principle of diversity it follows, the differences which
distinguish individuals from one another are things holy, to be fostered
and preserved, since only through each individual cultivating his own
peculiarity, through each different species reaching the perfection of its
kind, and the universal harmony be attained.
Original primitive languages, and cultures, are superior to composite,
derived languages, and culture, Balochi is an original language, and
culture.
Baloch nationalism came into being in consequence of life lived together
over millenniums. And nationalism is based on will.
A group speaking the same language is known as a nation, and nation ought
to constitute a state. It is not merely that a group of people speaking a
certain language may claim the right to preserve its language; rather,
such a group, which is a nation, will cease to be one if it is not
constituted into a state. It is bound to give up its language, and to
coalesce with its conquerors, in order that there may be unity and
internal peace and complete oblivion of relationships, which no longer
exist.
‘Such a group, absorbed in a foreign state, is doomed to death; its
members become an appendix to the life which bestirred itself of its own
accord before them beside them; they are an echo resounding from the rock,
an echo of a voice already silent; they are considered as a people,
outside the original people, and to the latter they are stranger and
foreigners’ (Fichte)
Again if you agree with me that Baloch is a nation, and then political
frontiers separate the Baloch, these frontiers are arbitrary, unnatural,
and unjust.
One of the weapons Iran employed was to ensure that the teaching of what
it is pleased to call history should be in the hands of its nominees, not
only in its own establishments, but in private schools as well.
Separations of northern Balochistan from Western to Eastern Balochistan
are artificial.
Excellency, Baloch activists, your country has been divided, you culture
is under attack, your language under extinction, our Baloch mother has
been denied the right that to raise a child to defend her nation and
country. The challenge is real and needs real consideration.
In these three states the Baloch communities have been isolated from one
another in order to maintain unnatural sovereign states. Why should people
who speak one language history and circumstance have thrown together
should not form one state?
I believe nation self-determination is a determination of the will, and
nationalism is a method of teaching the right determination of the will.
