    The article discusses the persistent center-periphery divide in Pakistan, highlighting regions like Balochistan, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP), and Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) facing unrest, economic deprivation, and oppressive governance. It critiques the colonial statecraft model of extraction, where resources from peripheral areas such as Dera Bugti and Gilgit-Baltistan are exploited without equitable benefits, exacerbating regional disparities.
