Acha khayal hai.

THINK TANK: CONSULTANT
Before we diagnose alienation....... let's establish how the relationship started.
To join Pakistan, Punjab and Sindh voted through elected assemblies. The NWFP got a referendum....... Balochistan got neither...... What it got was a vote from a hand-picked jirga, which the Muslim League's own provincial president at the time said was in no way representative of the people......... Not an opponent saying that..... The League itself acknowleding...
So the original contract was never signed by the people it was supposed to bind, either directly or through its representatives.... You're asking why there's alienation without asking whether consent was ever actually there to begin with.....
The grievance didn't start with the insurgency or with ideological rejection of Pakistan's ideology...... It started the day accession was rubber-stamped by a body that had no mandate to speak for Balochistan, and the state chose convenience over legitimacy..... "convenience" is what we continue to choose to this day
If you want to solve alienation, start by acknowledging where it started..... You can't fix a broken foundation by repainting the walls....
