Framing national identity in independence campaigns: secessionist rhetoric and ethnic conflict / Huszka, Beáta   Journal Article
Huszka, Beáta Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2014.
Summary/Abstract During secessionist mobilization in a multiethnic environment, the use of a discourse that excludes minorities can create internal enemies; meanwhile, co-opting minorities through inclusive framing can turn them into allies. From the standpoint of what sort of identity constitutes the basis of a nationalist movement, my fundamental argument is that the most crucial factor is whether there is a widespread perception of internal threat associated with the presence of a local minority. The chance of such perceptions of a threat emerging among the majority increases if the minority is politically linked to the center or a neighbor that is hostile to the movement. Yet, this explanatory model can show only a tendency depending on the structural setting; it cannot explain the timing and nature of identity shifts. I demonstrate that it is possible to include previously excluded minorities into the national collective through a reframing of national identity, and that the explanation of ethnic exclusion cannot be reduced to a simple ethnic security dilemma.

Independence movement of Balochistan / Verma, Jai Kumar   Journal Article
Verma, Jai Kumar Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract In a bold departure from the old practice, Prime Minister Modi made a reference to Balochistan, Gilgit and Baltistan in his Independence Day speech; nonetheless the move was criticised by the Pakistan government as well as by leaders of Indian opposition parties. But the nationalist leaders of Balochistan welcomed the move. The Khan of Kalat declared independence and never wanted to be a part of Pakistan. Jinnah forcibly merged Balochistan. The mineral-rich Balochistan is the biggest province of the country, but it is the poorest region in south Asia. The federal government, with an ulterior motive, is hindering the progress of the province. The Pakistan government, instead of redressing the legitimate problems of the province, alleges that the insurgency in the state is fuelled by foreign powers. Baloch leaders oppose the construction of the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) as they fear that under the garb of the CPEC, the Pakistan government would settle outsiders in the state, which would change the demography of the province. The Baloch leaders also mention that the CPEC is not in the interest of the state. Pakistani forces have adopted the policy of ‘kill and dump’ to terrorise the Balochis. Prime Minister Narendra Modi, in a momentous departure from the old policy of defending India against Pakistani onslaught about the human right violations in Kashmir, made a direct reference to the Balochistan freedom movement, Gilgit and Baltistan as well as Pakistan-occupied Kashmir from ramparts of the Red Fort in his Independence Day speech of 15 August 2016.1
