Gwadar (Colonialism): Evanston Township High School

Gwadar (Colonialism): Evanston Township High School

Exact Plan Text: Thus my partner and I demand the removal of Chinese presence from Balochistan and reparations for the Baloch.

China has purchased the port of Gwadar in Pakistan from the Pakistani government and is colonizing the port and the surrounding area to build a naval base and shipping port. The indigenous Baloch people in the region have had their land stolen, lost power, water, and healthcare, been relegated to a lower class, and have been imprisoned and killed for resisting and fighting for sovereignty.

First our affirmative reshapes pedagogy through indigenous modes of education and resistance. We contend that pedagogies of resistance are net better for political action and solving colonialism than hypothetical political simulation is.

Next is our demand upon the state which fosters solidarity between people in settled spaces and those who are in colonial heartlands in a united front against state-sponsored colonialism.
