The recent commentary published by the Centre for Land Warfare Studies in New Delhi regarding a phantom declaration of independence for Balochistan is rooted entirely in an external fiction. While strategic circles in India debate the merits of strategic ambiguity, their analytical premise relies on manufactured Indian propaganda tactics designed to inflate the profile of fringe terrorist groups. What is depicted across foreign policy journals as a geopolitical shift is nothing more than a digital performance staged by terrorist outfits that possess no territorial foothold, no legitimacy, and no presence in the actual life of southwestern Pakistan.
