Some of the sources are from separatist and Indian blog sites. I have cleaned up a few the others remain fine such as the political scientists etc but it still requires some work adding blog and quotes from separatist leaders and using Indian Defence websites is probably unwisely as it becomes slanted to one opinion.

The article which quotes Altaf Hussein is not good enough the word "forcibly" Is not used in Hyderabad or Junagarh either so why do Indian editors insist it should be used here ? When we clearly know "Operation Polo" was a military invasion and forced action. To add to this that blog from DailyO is not used anywhere else on pages such as Balochistan and the reason is because it would be deleted as its not reliable. The same language must be used and no bias should be made when mentioning Hyderabad or Junagarh as both were "forcibly" annexed. PremijAnans ( talk) 07:16, 16 September 2021 (UTC)
It appears that random WP:OR has been written on this page, with equally random citations added afterwards. I can't make head or tail of anything writen on this page. -- Kautilya3 ( talk) 11:47, 1 February 2022 (UTC)
I am afraid that Salman Rafi Sheikh is a blatant propagandist (!= biased/heavily opinionated) and might not be used. This was his M.Phil thesis and we do not normally use them either. I will cite a particularly instructive example about what renders his scholarship disingenuous and him, unreliable:
In p. 82, he writes about how the date of the accession was suddenly altered after a previous meeting had failed due to opposition from certain members, how a few members were absent from the assembly on that day, and how Jogezai manipulated a victory. Hence, Sheikh concludes that there was no consensus for accession to Pakistan etc.
Further, we do not need much on the referendum. As Axmann emphasizes, the referendum had nothing to do with Kalat except for the leased areas to British Baluchistan - a couple of whom declared their allegiance to Kalat after being claimed by the Khanate - but had their fate decided by the referendum.

Right. There was no referendum in Kalat. But there was legislature of some kind. The Khan of Kalat convened it, in order to get backing for his bid for independence. The Lower House was all in favour of it. But then the Khan suddenly changed his mind and acceded to Pakistan. After this, things get a bit hazy. The Army was sent in and the majority of the legislators were arrested. The Khan's brother escaped into the hills and raised an insurgency. The Pakistan Army has battling them ever since. -- Kautilya3 ( talk) 23:30, 20 August 2022 (UTC)
