Class Division
A report published in Dawn, Pakistan's leading English-language news publication, highlighted the economic dimensions to the conflict. Noting that while Balochistan was considered a "neglected province where a majority of population lacks amenities", its ruling elite enjoyed glamorous lifestyles that provided a different perspective of the issue. The report observed that members of Balochistan's elite society, including provincial government ministers and officials, owned "pieces of land greater in size than some small towns of the country", and had luxury vehicles, properties, investments and businesses valued at millions of Rupees.

Ultimately it’s all a matter of style. What it comes down to is this: Do you spell Jennifer with a J or G? That’s a class division. As a populist, I’m all for G.”
—Gore Vidal (b. 1925)
“Sometimes I think that idlers seem to be a special class for whom nothing can be planned, plead as one will with them—their only contribution to the human family is to warm a seat at the common table.”

“Slow, slow, fresh fount, keep time with my salt tears;
Yet slower yet, oh faintly gentle springs:
List to the heavy part the music bears,
“Woe weeps out her division when she sings.”
Droop herbs and flowers;
Fall grief in showers;
“Our beauties are not ours”:
Oh, I could still,
Like melting snow upon some craggy hill,
Drop, drop, drop, drop,
Since nature’s pride is, now, a withered daffodil.”
—Ben Jonson (1572–1637)
