Editor’s note: Recently we came across a heated debate on Twitter between two regular columnists of Pakistan’s Daily Times, Dr. Mohammad Taqi and Yasser Latif Hamdani. Yasser also co-edits Pak Tea House blog along with Raza Rumi. In this post, we are cross-posting the two articles and also publishing some of the reactions on Twitter.
Through posting this debate and the heated exchange, we seek to have views of Pakistan’s oppressed minority groups, particularly the Balochs. What do our Baloch friends think about this exchange? Which view do they support even if partially and why?

Balochistan’s Ho Chi Minh moment -Dr MohammadTaqi
Source: Daily Times, 15 March 2012
No state today may embark upon an ethnic cleansing of a people and then invoke sovereignty as a shield against international scorn or humanitarian intervention
In his book, The Wilsonian Moment: Self-determination and International Origins of Anticolonial Nationalism, Professor Erez Manela records a fascinating story. He writes, “In June 1919, Nguyen Tat Thanh, a 28-year old kitchen assistant from French Indochina, set out to present a petition to the world leaders then assembled in Paris for the peace conference. The document, entitled ‘The claims of the People of Annam’, echoed the rhetoric of the president of the United States, Woodrow Wilson, who had recently emerged in the international arena as a champion of the right of all peoples to self-determination.”
Professor Manela goes on to note: “The young man from Indochina, who signed the petition as Nguyen Ai Quoc or Nguyen the Patriot, had sought a personal audience with the American president to plead his people’s case before Wilson.” The young Nguyen had even rented appropriate attire for the proposed meeting with the president, which, as luck would have it, was not meant to be. But, after adopting the Leninist model of struggle for self-determination, the young patriot went on become Ho Chi Minh!
Uncle Ho was not the only one enamoured of Wilson’s vision of a new world order that would undo the ‘traditional’ imperialism through liberal reform and deliver a world where the human, political and territorial rights of the peoples would be respected and upheld. From the Egyptian nationalist leader Sa’ad Zaghlul to the Korean March 1 “Samil” Movement against the Japanese occupation, all were inspired by Wilson’s self-determination discourse and sought his personal, and the US’s assistance in their quest for freedom.
Many who sought such help were disappointed. For example, the Korean delegation that wanted to address the Paris Peace Conference was blocked from doing so by Japan, which occupied Korea — and also by the US. Nonetheless, the freedom fighters saw an opportunity in a world then undergoing geopolitical tectonic shifts and tried to make their case in the most forceful manner they could.
The Baloch nationalists lobbying the US Congress for support and the Congressman Dana Rohrabacher’s concurrent resolution number 104 in support of the Baloch right of self-determination was thus, not really unprecedented. Sensing an opportunity in the emerging geopolitical scenario played out between the US, Iran, Pakistan and China, the Baloch resolution timing is spot-on. A loose cannon perhaps, and certainly no Wilson he, but Rohrabacher has managed to send Pakistani state apparatchiks and intellectuals scurrying for a response and damage control.
The anxiety of the so-called Pakistani foreign policy elite is indeed palpable now and their response has ranged from the standard party line that ‘Balochistan is an integral part of Pakistan’ to really a horrendously revisionist approach to history — and the future. Pakistan’s ambassador to the US, Ms Sherry Rehman, has reportedly written a letter to the US House of Representatives speaker John Boehner about the Rohrabacher resolution saying, “Statements and resolutions in contravention of the UN charter and international norms could undermine Pakistan-US relations.”
The full text of the letter has not been shared by the Pakistani embassy in Washington, D.C. yet. It would be interesting to see which part of the UN charter Madam Ambassador has invoked. Suffice it to say that sovereignty and territorial integrity have never been and certainly are not today a defence for gross violations of fundamental human rights and absolutely not for the systemic genocide underway in Balochistan.
State sovereignty is not independent of the broader principles of international law and norms, including the universal proscription of abuses of fundamental rights. No state today may embark upon an ethnic cleansing of a people and then invoke sovereignty as a shield against international scorn or humanitarian intervention.
In the post-colonial world, the principle of self–determination of peoples versus the territorial integrity and/or sovereignty of a state is certainly a complicated legal debate and hard to resolve practically. While territory and sovereignty over it are considered to be the sine qua non of a state, one of the stated purposes of the UN, enunciated clearly in its charter, is “to develop friendly relations among nations based on respect for the principle of equal rights and self-determination of peoples”.
For the most part, the nation state and its sovereignty have been able to trump — except in cases of massive human rights violations — the self-determination principle and the thrust of the Pakistani strategy will be to continue trying to undermine the latter in the Baloch context. Diverting attention to internal sovereignty and ‘democratic’ means will remain the state mantra.
Interestingly, but not surprisingly, some of the Pakistani liberal elite not only parrot the official line but go a step further. The novelist Mohsin Hamid, writing recently in an English contemporary, first defaces history through his preposterous assertion that Pakistan was created to protect the rights of the minorities. That piece needs to be dealt with separately but one line is worth mentioning. Hamid says: “Yet an independent Balochistan would in itself solve little. Balochistan is almost half non-Baloch. What of the rights of the non-Baloch in Balochistan?”
One has to have grown up on nothing but a steady diet of the Pakistan Studies textbooks to be so ignorant of Baloch history, grievances and demands. Hamid has retrofitted the Pakistan movement as the minorities’ champion but does not extend this courtesy to the future Baloch state. He also appears to presume that the Baloch claim to self-determination and their irredentism, and the resulting state, are anchored in the principle of uti possidetis juris, which implies that the new sovereign states preserve and retain the same boundaries as their predecessor colonial structures.
For starters, the Baloch have not had an irredentist claim on Pashtun territories as such and never did propose a greater Balochistan inheriting the present borders. In addition, going by the 1998 census, Balochi is the mother language of the majority — 54.76 percent — in present-day Balochistan (Pakistani census data does not list ethnicity). Moreover, the Brahui today identify themselves as Baloch, making Baloch the clear majority in what would be the greater Balochistan. Hamid’s fantastic account is not just a fallacist’s fallacy but also a very dangerous manoeuvre with the potential to set two peoples on a collision course.
The Baloch resistance leaders and especially the Baloch diaspora should swiftly counter the rhetoric — no matter how incoherent and absurd — unleashed by the Pakistani state and its fellow travelers rattled by the international attention in the wake of Balochistan’s Ho Chi Minh moment.

Rebuttal to Dr. Taqi’s “Balochistan’s Ho Chi Minh Moment”
Source: Pak Tea House – March 15th, 2012
By Yasser Latif Hamdani
It seems that there is a section within Pakistan’s intelligentsia that equates liberalism with unquestioning loyalty to Baloch separatism. In other words it does not matter if you believe in a separation of church and state, equal rights for women and minorities and other things that would be considered the touchstones of liberalism in most countries of the world – if you do not believe in the righteousness of the cause of Baloch nationalism you cannot be considered a liberal. A corollary of this argument is that a true liberal is by definition anti-Pakistan! A true liberal – according to this bankrupt definition- is necessarily pro-ethno-fascism and pro-India. Any deviation from this sanctioned liberalism means you are a product of Pakistan Studies.
Consider for example the views of one Dr. Muhammad Taqi – yet another medical professional who imagines himself a great political pundit in a long list of medical doctors from all sides of the spectrum starting with Dr. Shahid Masood. In his article in the Daily Times – the good doctor attacks Mohsin Hamid for being a product of Pakistan Studies and attacks Sherry Rahman (the same Sherry Rahman who unlike these self styled champions of people’s rights is under threat for her practical efforts for minorities in Pakistan) for doing her job in Washington.
This is what Mohsin Hamid, in his article in Express Tribune, said which caused pungent flatulence that was released on Daily Times’ pages today:
“There are two ways of explaining why Pakistan was created. One is to say that the impulse for Pakistan was a Muslim-nationalist impulse. That is what we are taught in school and probably what most Pakistanis believe.
But there is another explanation. And it is this: the drive to form Pakistan was rooted in the notion of minority rights. During the haggling that preceded independence, most Muslim leaders initially wanted constitutional safeguards protecting the rights of a Muslim minority within Hindu-majority India. Only when they decided this would not be possible did partition become their aim.
Even then, British India did not necessarily have to become just two countries with a burning enmity: India and Pakistan. It could as easily have been split into several: perhaps a northwestern country that included not just current Pakistan but also the Indian-controlled part of Kashmir and Indian Punjab, as Jinnah himself had wanted; a northeastern country centred around a unified Bangladesh and Indian Bengal; and a variety of other countries between them and to their south.”
Only someone devoid of basic English comprehension would suggest that this is a Pakistan Studies view. The view above has been articulated by most historians in the West starting with Ayesha Jalal. Other notable writers who have echoed this view include Stanley Wolpert (“Shameful Flight”), H M Seervai (“Partition of India; Legend and Reality”), Ian Bryant Wells (“Jinnah Ambassador of Hindu Muslim Unity”) and Jaswant Singh (“Jinnah, India-Partition-Independence”). None of these authors can be described “products of Pakistan Studies” by any stretch of imagination nor have they “retrofitted” this view into the Pakistan Movement. How can this be a Pakistan Studies’ inspired view when it says the exact opposite of what is drummed into our youth regarding the founding of this country.
Indeed what Taqi mian says Pakistan Movement stood for is what Pakistan Studies also said it stood for. The idea that Pakistan was founded as a result of a religious impulse is post-hoc. Late Hamza Alavi’s brilliant analysis in “Pakistan and Islam, Ethnicity and Ideology” makes this argument look like Swiss Cheese. Therefore the officially sanctioned view is that Pakistan was created in the name of Islam and the counter-view is that Pakistan was a bargaining counter for constitutional safeguards. The idea that Pakistan was a country for minorities can be found in the Lahore Resolution itself which speaks clearly and consistently on minorities and their rights.
Now coming to the Baloch case – again Mohsin Hamid is right: Baloch separatism will solve nothing. The case of the Baloch separatists is based on a tenuous legal argument regarding the status of the Kalat State. Even if this argument is granted – and it may only granted simultaneously with the accession of small principalities like Lasbela to Pakistan- the right of self determination becomes limited to Kalat proper – a land locked state back to square one which if independent would have to work out a treaty with Pakistan to exist. This also means NO GWADAR, NO QUETTA. Too bad for the cynical backers of Baloch separatism. Of course in any other situation this would be described as imperialist sabre rattling but to suggest that Baloch separatism is backed by the new Great Gamers seeking to block Eastern Chinese access to Arabian sea is to hang one’s self with these jokers who have hijacked “liberalism”. Taqi’s argument that Uti possidetis juris has no application to the Baloch case thus defeats his own contentions. So muddled and confused is Taqi about the Balochistan case, that he has managed to provide the most forceful counter-argument to the Baloch Separatist case without even realising it.
Dana Rohrabacher – a crazy right-wing republican in the McCarthyist tradition known for forwarding ridiculous resolutions- has thrilled crooks cranks and mad men. Perhaps it is time to investigate the chatter amongst the self styled champions of Baloch cause and its timing following Ralph Peter’s grand plan in 2005 (which this writer wrote on back then). The problems of the Baloch people are of fundamental human rights – the right to a good life, the right to their own culture and the right to live freely as citizens of this country. In my view at least this is the only legitimate cause for which any liberal can stand. Predictably Rohrabacher and other such crazy senators are yet to forward a single resolution supporting the cause of religious minorities in Pakistan – a much more urgent issue concerning the fate of 8 million + non-Muslims of Pakistan.
Unlike Dr. Taqi who accuses everyone who disagrees with him of being funded by the ISI and part of the establishment I won’t accuse him of being on any payroll but I will say that he is as crazy as Rohrabacher. After Imran Khan’s 30 October Jalsa, he came out with a threatening article against US Consulate in Lahore making a big deal about “red cent” and what not. For someone who claims to be a leftist, Taqi acts like Joseph McCarthy accusing Lahore US Consulate to be hand in glove with Al Qaeda. So in a nutshell separation of any part of Balochistan is a non-starter and a distraction from the real issues of Pakistan i.e. the systematic denial of fundamental rights to many groups in Pakistan. To this end the view forwarded by Mohsin Hamid is essential. It is time we undid the myths about the creation of Pakistan and put things in the proper context. It also means rejecting extremists and off-base characters on all sides especially those who speak with a forked tongue.
