@DESERT FIGHTER (since you are Baloch) @Mirzali Khan (since you grew up in northern Balochistan)
I saw some hardcore Muslims saying that people of interior Sindh and Balochistan are not proper Muslim and need Islamization
I know interior Sindh cause of Sufism, faqeeri, murido and all but what's up with Balochistan?
Aren't they mostly deobandi Sunni Muslim?
I know Punjabi, pakhtun, Sindhi culture to some extent but IDK much about Baloch
On one hand it's supposed to be a deeply conservative culture
But liyari is anything but conservative on the other hand baloch tribes of SP are very conservative
Ethno centrism alone means nothing as most of the Muslim world is already ethno centrist (only 2,3 big multi ethnic states, Pakistan, Indonesia and maybe Iran(but they're a thoroughly Persian centric state or atleast historically always were)?)There's many layers to why Islamists/Salafists say this. One is that Baloch people aren't receptive to Islamist politics. Many of the Baloch political leaders post-1947 were heavily involved in an ethno-centric view of how they would present their politics to their people and to others.
Wish JI dominated the islamist scene in Pakistan - Jui-F, tlp are too low IQMany Islamists from trash political parties like JUIF would essentially "seethe" that the rest of Balochistan wouldn't accept their politics so you see some of their supporters make comments like that.
Are they a powerful relgious group in Baloch society?Also the presence of a religious minority called "Zikris". I won't go too far into what they believe , but it goes against the Islamic orthodoxy.
Proper islamists don't like Pak army for obvious reasons soZikrism - Wikipedia
en.wikipedia.org
Another is the way army fanboys would term Baloch insurgents. Some would straight up call BLA rebels as "murtadeen", giving a religious veneer to the insurgency. Meanwhile, the insurgency, despite its multiple and ongoing phases, never had a religious tone to it.
@Sayfullah do you agree with our assessment, as your folks are from interior Sindh?I remember me and you talked about this some time ago and you brought up a good point about how sardar vs islamism has essentially divided Pakistan into a North/South political divide. KPK and Punjab have had heavy Islamist political presence while Sindh and Balochistan had feudalism control its political scene and it kept out a lot of Islamism in the province.
Also, I don't mean to offend anyone here if they read this I am only stating my observations, but a lot of Sindhi and Baloch diaspora women tend to be left-leaning and more feminist.
Other groups of Pakistani diaspora especially the ones who are either conservative or religious look down on feminism and current left-wing politics in general. Many baloch influencers in the US and UK espouse feminist values and ideals while also being a practicing Muslim. As a result, some people see that and immediately scream "munafiq" or say it doesn't make them a "proper" Muslim despite being practicing.
I personally know a Baloch woman and she maintains proper Islamic attire, but posts a lot about feminist politics and discourse and issues on her Instagram page. She also posts Islamic reminders on her page.
What a lot of people don't realize is that politics doesn't equal lifestyle. Most Baloch have a conservative culture with heavy emphasis on honor and many are practicing Muslims, but a lot of their mainstream politics is left leaning and revolves around Marxist and feminist ideas.
Depends tbh.@Sayfullah do you agree with our assessment, as your folks are from interior Sindh?
Feudal politics stopped islamist from playing a more important role in Sindh
FYI guys apparently he had a kashmiri grandma (or atleast some Kashmiri was saying that so idk)
