Kutty, although born in Kerala, is a Pakistani national. He is a phenomenon in India because he provides a mirror into Balochistan, a region that Indian society is deeply interested in as it represents the demand for recognition of tribal rather than Islamic identity.
“As I was walking in, I heard the word disintegration. This is no surprise,” Pakistan’s High Commissioner to India Shahid Malik commented wryly. Indian MP Mani Shankar Aiyar was quick in his rebuttal: “Mr Ambassador, if you heard disintegration it was only in the context of all Indians here saying that Pakistan should not disintegrate, it is not in India’s interest.”
