Worth noting that the Pakistani state has retained all the
British' brutalizing instruments of power because Pakistan
retains the British policy of strategic depth which views
Pashtuns and Baloch as "problems" to be managed through
"grapeshot" if required.

There are a few very serious books on this which deserve to

be read. The first is that Rizwan Hussain's Pakistan and the
Emergence of Islamic Militancy in Afghanistan. The second is
the various works of Christian Tripodi. For example:

His thoughts on the past 20 years; however, do not hold up
to my scrutiny. But his historical work is spot on. But Rizwan
Hussain's book is a MUST for anyone who cares about this
shit. It's expensive. Get it from the library....
