Conducting a standard intelligence practice (HUMINT) that is not synonymous with the orchestration of an armed insurgency. Other than the Iranians nobody had access to this region, but now they do, and everyone who has a vested interest is bound to invest heavily into the cultivation of assets. This is common for virtually every conflict zone.
Baluchistan is not exactly surrounded by barbed wire for there to be 'no access', it is not cut off from the rest of Pakistan and it has ben a conflict zone for a long time. Your explanation seeks to paint it as some sort of hidden shangri la that suddenly made itself available for exploitation. The Indians likely have been cultivating assets in Pakistan, including Baluchistan, for a long time now, since the situation in Baluchistan is not dramatically different from the past - so why make a specific mention of it?
What is different is all this 'money being pumped in', and one could argue, the upsurge in the Baluch insurgency (at least till a few months ago) since the Indian presence in Afghanistan. It is after all an insurgency affected region, and it does not take much imagination to to understand what 'assets' are being 'cultivated' by the Indians.
She has addressed this question by stating
She has only addressed what she herself meant - she cannot possibly clarify what the Indian officials meant when they made the statement she quoted, unless she quoted them incorrectly or she contacted them to obtain a clarification - she suggests none of the above two options, merely taking the middle road for what
she implied.
If there is no connection or correlation, drop the reference. It serves as a detractor and results in the propagation of the conspiracy theory.
There is no connection in the sense of a 'Hindu-zionist conspiracy' canard as you tried to suggest - that does not mean the behavior of the US in protecting its perceived interests by refusing to ackowledge criminal or terrorist activity by India, as it does with Israel, will not be similar to its behaviour with Israel..
The reason for our criminal negligence when it comes to Israel's actions is based on a completely different set of factors which are in no shape or form common with any other case, and certainly not India. If you truly believe that US' relationship with India does not mirror that with Israel, then there is no valid precedent here. All I'm trying to say is that Israel is beyond the scope of any meaningful dialog in this case and ought to be jettisoned from the discussion altogether.
No two issues are the same, but at the core of US hypocrisy and doublestandards with Israel is the issue of perceived interests and strong domestic political lobbies in favor of turning a blind eye to the sins of Israel - those two issues are common, in varying degrees, to the US-India relationship as well - and India could be argued to have even greater US interests, given the economic gains to be had that Israel cannot come close too.
If presidential candidates were to be held to campaign promises we'd be living in a different universe altogether. The AfPak policy was put into place after Obama was elected based on consultations with experts. Pakistan is grouped in with Afghanistan and India falls into a different bracket as per the state dept.'s policy. What is clear is that the US considers India and Pakistan unequal entities when formulating policy; a shift that was initiated under Bill Clinton's presidency, solidified under SoS' Powell and Rice and perpetuated by the Obama administration. The reasons for this have been openly discussed and published.
I agree that the US sees Pakistan and India as unequal entities - hence my point about double standards ala Israel, and an overlooking of Indian aggresion against Pakistan (publicly at least) via subversion in Baluchistan and elsewhere.
Iran can be condemned for 'suppression of a vote', while India's occupation of the Kashmiris in violation of the UNSC resolutions gets overlooked - that 'unequal relationship' that you admit to is precisely what underlines the duplicity here.
But again, there is no evidence whatsoever indicating the dubious partnership as you suggest. This is all conjecture and although I'm not pinning all of this on you as an individual (it is a commonly endorsed idea) I do believe that it has a devastating impact on the situation at hand by worsening the neurosis.
There is loads of evidence establishing this duplictious behaviour by the US in the form of precendent, especially the precedent of its 'protection' of Israel.
