It is not at all clear that the Balochs are in favor of Hindus or not. From the Realpolitik angle it would be good to support the Balochs as a counter-balance to TSPian terrorism. But given that Balochs voluntarily associated with TSP, and that they are Moslems, makes it unclear as to how rebelious they will ultimately get. A french national who has worked in Balochistan says that the Bugtis tribe specifically has several influential anti-TSP individuals. But apparently there is also intercine conflict between Bugtis and others which the TSp army might exploit in the current stand off.

My Hindu forum members may be surprised to know that Bugti Hindu's were always part of the Bugti tribe and that Hindu's are still assimilated into Baluch tribes. If you do a web search you will read that the Pakistan army in their initial attack on Nawab Bugti targetted Hindu populations in Dera Bugti and many Hindu's died. Baluch have always been secular and personal and tribal loyalties overshadow religious bigotory.
