It delves into the historical question of Balochistan's integration into Pakistan in 1947 and brings out the true political and militant character of the movement during the first three decades (1947-77) of Pakistan's existence as a nation-state. It shows how the Baloch, as well as other minority groups, were denied the right to identify themselves as a sub-national\/ethnic group in the new nation-state, compounded by a systematic exclusion from decision-making circles and structures of political and economic power. The volume also traces political resistance from within Balochistan and its subsequent suppression by military operations, leading to a widespread militant insurgency in the present day.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDrawing on hitherto unexplored sources, this book will be indispensable to scholars and researchers of South Asian history, politics, international relations and area studies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Salman Rafi Sheikh\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1138055417\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781138055414\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge India\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/12\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 254\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.60h x 5.60w x 0.80d","brand":"Salman Rafi Sheikh","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48087696572671,"sku":"9781138055414","price":190.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3f3b2d1a-a09c-44c1-87f5-d035aad0c1c4.jpg?v=1769100895","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-genesis-of-baloch-nationalism-salman-rafi-sheikh-9781138055414","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
