THE sudden closure of major universities in Balochistan, ostensibly due to ‘security
concerns’, marks another blow to a student population already living under the shadow of
apathy and marginalisation. At the time of writing, the University of Balochistan, Sardar
Bahadur Khan Women University, and University of Turbat had suspended on-campus
activities indefinitely, leaving thousands of students in academic limbo. The proposed
solution — online classes —would be laughable if it were not so tragically disconnected from
the reality of Balochistan. In a province where reliable internet access is a luxury rather than a
basic utility, how can students participate in online education? The casual assurance that
students from areas with connectivity problems will receive ‘concessions’ fails to address the
basic inequity.

These closures follow a disturbing pattern of state indifference towards students. For years,
we have witnessed Baloch students from campuses across Pakistan being ‘disappeared’, their
education and lives disrupted under the guise of national security. Now, even within their
home province, their right to education faces further erosion. While the violence, including
the recent attack on the Jaffar Express, across the province are deeply concerning, the
government must address root causes rather than punish innocent students. Shutting down
educational institutions only deepens the alienation and resentment that fuel unrest in the first
place. For Balochistan’s youth, these closures represent more than just missed lectures. They
symbolise the state’s continued unwillingness to invest in the province’s human capital and
future. The state must recognise that genuine security cannot be achieved by sacrificing
education. Rather than closing universities, it should address the legitimate grievances of
Baloch students while providing adequate security measures that allow campuses to function.
Most importantly, any temporary shift to online learning must be accompanied by immediate
investments in digital infrastructure across the province. Balochistan’s youth deserve the
same educational opportunities afforded to students across Pakistan — and the dignity of
being treated as citizens whose futures matter.

MUSLIMS in India have endured incessant scrutiny of their nationalism. Prime Minister
Narendra Modi’s determination to impose Hindu-led majoritarianism on his country, which
is visible in several instances of communal conflict, exploitation and divisive rhetoric, have
placed great strain on the Indian social fabric. The clashes in Nagpur over rumours of
desecration at a Vishwa Hindu Parishad and Bajrang Dal protest calling for the tomb of 17th-
century Mughal emperor Aurangzeb to be replaced with a memorial for Maratha rulers,
confirm that the cycle of hate is strong. Over the last decade, the state’s tactics have
become predictable with India’s political apparatus set on stoking friction through
provocative agendas that divert attention from socioeconomic pressures and Mr Modi’s
governance failures in order to influence electoral sentiments. The fact that the BJP’s hate-
filled politics and the impression that Hindus are under attack has helped keep the party in
power, clearly shows how prejudice poses a grave threat to India’s social stability.

India’s far-right rulers are once again casting Muslims as descendants of Mughals, and
implying that the community should be penalised for past sins. In Mr Modi’s rule, the
sociopolitical landscape has shifted dramatically; culture, history and religion are intertwined
to the extent that films and festivals, such as Eid, Diwali, Holi and Christmas, have been
communalised. But as hostilities heighten amid muscular Hindutva rampage, the muted
response from the opposition parties and society is troubling. Their collective inability to
protect social harmony, diversity and pluralism will bury Nehruvian social justice for good. At
a time when calls for Muslim massacres and erasure of monuments and history are issued
openly, the oil-rich Muslim fraternity and the global community must put their money where
their mouths are, and stand by Indian Muslims. The deadly mix of fascism and Hindutva, if
permitted to continue, will not spare other communities either.
