I have not really studied the situation there.

Oppression anywhere is wrong. If the people there are suffering under oppression, then of course they should try to do whatever they can about it. As a culturally distinct people they would be entitled to a national identity.

Do they speak a different language? Are they different religiously? Ethnically?

Nations should not be broken up over what Jefferson called “light and transient causes” but the right to your onw self-determination is the essence of democracy and freedom is the birthrigt of all peoples and nations.

Insindh, according to the Washington Times (January 2, 2002), India is sponsoring cross-border terrorism. Since you cite Pakistan’s position in regard to kashmir all the time, will you join me in condemning the cross-border terrorism in Sindh? If Sindh wants independence, tehy should receive moral support (as the Khalistanis ahve received from Islamabad), but they really should do it themselves (again, as with Khalistan.)

“I have not really studied the situation there.”

Why not? The nobody paid you to do that? Have you heard nothing about the genocide in Balochistan and Sindh? What world are you living in?

“Do they speak a different language? Are they different religiously? Ethnically?”

Yes they speak Balochi and Sindhi which are completely different from Urdu or Punjabi. Ethnically too they are different. They have a distinctly different culture. They also don't follow the Wahhibi brand of Islam that the Pakistani establishment follow.

“Nations should not be broken up over what Jefferson called “light and transient causes” but the right to your onw self-determination is the essence of democracy and freedom is the birthrigt of all peoples and nations.”

So doesn't that apply on the Sindhis, Balochis and Mohajirs? dont they have the right to self-determination? Dont they have a right to democracy and freedom?

Since you want me to condemn Indian excess in Kashmir and Punjab wont you join me in condemning Pakistani army genocide in Balochistan and Sindh?
