| The Modern Baloch Nationalism and the Taliban:Comparative Paths to Sovereignty in South Asia | | 
By Fatima Baloch
The Baloch are an ancient Kurd-Arab-rooted nation who live on both sides of the borders under Pakistani and Iranian control, as well as in parts of southern Afghanistan where they are relatively well established. Historically, Balochistan was divided primarily due to British colonial interests in the late nineteenth century. This division created buffer zones between the British Indian Empire, Persia (Iran), and Afghanistan through the Goldsmid Line (1871–1896).
When British India was partitioned in 1947, the Khanate of Kalat (Eastern Balochistan) declared its indep... |

Thirty-six years ago, terrorism cruelly took him and his son, Virender Kaul, from us. Their lives were extinguished not just for being taken, but for their unwavering convictions, their refusal to abandon their homeland, and their choice of dignity over fear.

As expected, the United States and Iran failed to reach a peace deal after high-stakes talks in the Pakistani capital, with American Vice President JD Vance saying Tehran refused to accept Washington’s terms after 21 hours of talks in Islamabad. And Iran citing lack of American commitment to the talks.
The talks termed as ‘Islamabad Talks’, lasted a full day of negotiations, which ended with a terse three-minute press conference — and without a deal. Talks between America and Iran began on Saturday afternoon and continued through the night, almost 21 hours in all.
