On November 10, 2012, Dr Yaqoob Khan Bangash, Chairperson, Department?of History at Forman Christian College, presented a paper entitled??Non-Territorial Autonomy and the Baloch: A Way Forward?? at a special?conference convened on the concept of non-territorial autonomy by the?School of Politics, International Studies and Philosophy at Queen?s?University Belfast, the Department of Central & Eastern European?Studies, University of Glasgow, and European Centre for Minority?Issues (Flensburg, Germany). This policy and theory focused conference?brought experts from all over the world to discuss the possibility of?achieving and maintaining rights for minorities in multi-ethnic?states.
At the conference, Dr Bangash argued that given the nature of the?Baloch problem where federalism and devolution have not worked due to?the security centric approach of the Centre, the applicability of?non-territorial autonomy might provide the way out. Explaining that?the issue is mainly of the ?Baloch? and not of ?Balochistan? in?general, giving autonomy to the Baloch as a people will enable them?to develop specific policies for the uplift of their own community.
Since a large number of Baloch also reside in Karachi, and parts of?Afghanistan, Iran and Oman, this approach could also be utilised?elsewhere. ?Being linked to places where the Baloch actually reside?rather than a demarcated territory, this approach will also placate?the security and secessionist concerns of the central government,?while ensuring that funds for the Baloch will be spent on the Baloch?by fellow Baloch. Dr Bangash is aiming to develop a policy paper on?the issue for further presentation to the government.
