Baloch leader Mir Yar Baloch has declared that Balochistan is not part of Pakistan, and requested India to recognize it formally by opening an embassy in New Delhi.
You know it’s serious when rebels start asking for diplomatic missions before a cricket team.
🛑 So, why is #Balochistan trending?
In a fiery video, Mir Yar Baloch accused the Pakistani state of:
- Decades of military bombings
- Enforced disappearances
- Kill-and-dump tactics
- And systemic ethnic cleansing of the Baloch population
This follows years of repression, including the recent assassination of Baloch racing champ Tariq Baloch, allegedly killed in a state-backed operation. It’s like Formula 1, but with zero laps and lots of landmines.

- #RepublicOfBalochistan
- #FreeBalochistan
- #BoycottPakArmy
And unlike Pakistan’s economy, these trends are not declining anytime soon.
