but this article is not about all Pakistani Balochistan? It's only about the province as the map shows? Tobias Conradi (Talk) 15:21, 31 July 2005 (UTC)
- Huh? It's about all of Pakistani Balochistan. However, for the article on the region of Balochistan, which is currently part of Iran, Afghanistan, and Pakistan, see Balochistan. --Hottentot
first sentence says other thing: The province of Balochistan (or Baluchistan) of Pakistan contains roughly the part of Balochistan that falls within the borders of present-day Pakistan --Tobias Conradi (Talk) 19:05, 31 July 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Infobox changed
There is no point having separate infoboxes for each province of Pakistan when they display the same information. I've replaced the Template:Baloch-infobox with a generic one for all provinces. Green Giant 00:16, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Elamo-Dravidian
Guys, This Elamo-Dravidian connection hasnt even been proven by most scholars, so we cannot speak so assuringly of this theory as if these people did exist and this connection between the Dravidians and the Elamites is true! This is not a fact so stop speaking like it is one! A better substitute would be Dravidian and Indo-Iranian tribes. I'm no Hindu Nationalist, by the way, trying to disprove foreign connections. I support the Aryan Migration as not just a theory but fact and many scholars in Dravidian languages themselves doubt the Elamo-Dravidian hypothesis. -User: Afghan Historian
[edit] Gratuitous Deletion
Look, I'll grant I don't know much about Balochistan, but a user named Embarkedaxis is repeatedly deleting large parts of the article without giving any reason. The same user seems to be going on a general crusade to place Pakistan in a prominent position vis-a-vis India in Wikipedia articles. Will someone with more clout and experience than I please deal with this? --Eliyak 16:00, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
Yes i deleted some parts of this article being it was based on propaganda against pakistan and brave people of balochistan. i am baloch and i know about my watan baluchistan and my country pakistan.stop propaganding wrong things in dis article. I respect opinon of Eliyak. but stop propaganding things which are totally wrong. i am true. and i can prove it.
- Embarkedaxis, you can't just delete links to articles if you don't like them. What's wrong iwth Conflict between Pakistan and Baloch warlords in Balochistan? It's a valid topic. —Khoikhoi 05:03, 8 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Baluchistan resistance surrenders

[edit] Map

It is requested that a map or maps be included in this article to improve its quality. |
A map is sorely needed in this article. – Quadell (talk) (bounties) 20:38, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] My tribe is older than yours
Brahui people#Origins, geography, and demographics says:
- “There are two main theories regarding the Brahui that have been proposed by academics. One theory is that they are an ancient hold-over of some sort of indeterminate Elamo-Dravidian origin that descended from the people of the Indus Valley civilization. Another theory is that they are migrants from northern India who arrived in the region either before the Aryan invasion, but probably before the Baloch.” (emphasis mine)
This article says:
- “Aryan invasions appear to have led to the eventual demise of the Elamo-Dravidian with the exception of the Brahui who may have arrived much later as did the Balochis themselves.”
Should the “may have arrived” part in the last sentence be changed, if it was probably – as the Brahui article says – not that way? I don't feel qualified to make a decision since I know next to nothing about regional ethnic history. 11:21, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
