Some people have argued that Balochistan nationalist parties (apart from one or two chieftains) are professionals , who have used agrarian and Baloch peasants in order to break their isolation and associated their aspiration with the Baloch intellectual and Baloch historic sentiment and quest for independent state. Baloch intelligentsia is subordinate central state rule, for the last decade or two Intelligentsia has been discriminated and not been trusted by central authorities.
Following are some facts you can use to make your own conclusion;
Throughout history, ethnic ties and sentiments have helped to shape men’s loyalties and group affiliations, from nomadic to an agrarian existence. Ties have always existed, but social influence and political relevance have varied from periods in different cultures all over the world.
Interstate wars have played an important role in mobilising the ethnic population, and allowing agrarian society to play central role. Historically one can say that interstate warfare assists a growth in ethnic consciousness and ethnic politics.
Rise of bureaucratic states and competition between different ethnic groups over bureaucratic jobs and domination of one group over other and secular intellectuals who pioneer the historical revolution lead to ethnic mobilization.
Crisis in religious authorities is a challenge posed to religion from science, education needs to adapt to the historic vision of society, out of this position of secular intellectual has come to force an ethnically based communal regeneration.
Skills are needed by the expanding scientific state; educators needed to educate professionals. Educators are the intelligentsia. The bureaucratic organization provides scientific and technical expertise and creates an educational system to train experts and upward mobility.
States are faced with a rise of the intelligentsia, tendency towards overproduction of highly qualified personnel in relation to ,administrative, business or professional posts; dominant ethnic use of cultural ground for discrimination in admitting intelligentsia to public high-status positions. Sense of ethnic professional worth and obstacles has radicalised ethnic intelligentsia.
The professionals require a viable social identity, supported by a historical legitimacy, and they found it in the ethnic solution proposed by their intellectuals. Alongside providing a new bureaucratic arena for their career and status aspirations, the ethnic community, suitably transformed into the active nation, resolves the cultural crisis of identity of the intelligentsia, places them at the head of an alliance with other aspirant division, and breaks down intelligentsia social isolation from the people with potentially revolutionary results.
Alliance with aspirant nationalist, and nationalist intellectual carry with it the potential for political action, so called Balochistan national parties(party of medical professional and lawyer and opportunistic double jackets) may advances certain ideas of autonomy, unity, and identity, but does not indicate the strategy for attaining self determination and revival of independent Baloch home land.
