to the Future: The Khanate of Kalat and the Genesis of Baloch
Nationalism 1915-1955,
by Martin Axmann, Oxford University Press:
The study investigates the genesis of Baloch nationalism during the first half
of the twentieth century, analyses the emergence of a Baloch national movement,
and sets it into relation to therise of an Indian and Muslim Indian national
movement in British India during that time. The study portrays the decline and
disintegration of the Baloch khanate of Kalat during the last decades of British
rule and summarizes the colonial legacy of Balochistan in respect of its political,
administrative, and constitutional development. |

Chomsky: Poorer Countries Find a Way to Escape U.S. Dominance; By Michael Shank, Foreign Policy in Focus, February 12, 2008: ...
Actually what's happening in Bolivia is a striking example. The mostly white, Europeanized elite, which is a minority, happens to be sitting on most of the hydrocarbon reserves. And for the first time Bolivia is becoming democratic. So it's therefore bitterly hated by the West, which despises democracy, because it's much too dangerous. But when the indigenous majority actually took political power for the first time, in a very democratic election of the kind we can't imagine here, the reaction in the West was quite hostile. I recall, for example, an article - I think it was the Financial Times - condemning Morales as moving towards dictatorship because he was calling for nationalization of oil. They omitted to mention, with the support of about 90% of the population. But that's tyranny. Tyranny means you don't do what the United States says. Just like moderation means that you're like Saudi Arabia and you do do what we say.
