Balochistan, the largest province of the country is the victim of uncertainty and violence. Number of political workers of some nationalists parties have been killed. In addition, hundreds of locals have been missing. The apex court has ten sou motto action on this main issue of the province. But the most serious concern is that the Baloch are chanting slogans of "AZAD BALOCHISTAN."
According to some analysts, the least developed province of the country is the part of the great game. What do u think guyz?

Regards

Of course, it is.

Do not forget to include Karachi, Gawadar, K.P.

It is an economic and strategic war on resources played by the power sharing nations in our region including CARs (Central Asian Republics).

Future moves of big powers, game has already been started.

Great Game and New Great Game plus China's string of pearls. Perhaps, this is the discussion about. However, I must acknowledge that I had not associated 'Separatist Movements' in Balochistan with those international covert plans.

The demise of Soviet Union of 1991 following terrorist attacks of 2001 on the sole power of contemporary world structure were the milestones in the history of world politics which diverted the attention of political players from political to economic one. Different regions started preserving their economic interests by integrating. As the economic development is expanding, the race of achieving resources has become more extensive. The same case is with Central Asian region. It is stated that next war for resources would be fought on the field of Central Asia.

The concept of Great Game is not new one at all in the contemporary world politics. First Great Game was fought on Caucasus region in the 19th century and gradually expanded into Central Asian region via Afghanistan. The Heartland theory is once again coming limelight geo-strategic significance of this region in the form of ‘New Great Game’. The area of this “neo-game” would expand up to Indian subcontinent.

In the context of region, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iran, Turkey and India are important players who all have interests in Central Asian Republics individually as well as collectively. The first four have directly territorial link with the CARs but India does not. Its presence in the region cannot be ignored due to having rapid ingress in Afghanistan and emergence of significant regional power.

I think the recent Afghan-Pakistan Transit Trade Agreement is also a step towards securing US interests in the region. The APTTA agreement was strongly pushed by US and even the accord signing ceremony was witnessed by Holbrooke, the US special representative for the region. Through this, US is going extend its stay in the region as well as exploit resources of Afghanistan in her trade with India. India, as the omens show, is vying for a greater role in Afghanistan. Though the text of the APTTA denies allowing direct access to Afghanistan towards Indian region, the analysts fathom a different scenario in which Indian involvement does not seem to be contained, rather expanded.
