Weird sentence under the History section

>>According to Professor Baloch, the climate of Balochistan was very cold and the region was inhabitable during the winter so the Baloch people migrated in waves and settled in Sindh and Punjab.[25]<<

Does this sentence make sense? If the region was very cold, was it hard to inhabit? And was this then a reason for them to migrate?

This sentence right now doesn't make sense to me. There seems to be some sort of contrast that doesn't work.

personal commentary!

Haven't checked the rest of the cited citations yet. In the context has been added:

" Although they kept flocks of sheep, the Baloches also engaged in plundering travelers on the desert routes. This brought them into conflict with the Buyids, and later the Ghaznavids and the Seljuqs. Adud al-Dawla of the Buyid dynasty launched a punitive campaign against them and defeated them in 971–972."

but I found no such mention in that source. It is clear personal commentary. Balash-Vologases (talk) 20:07, 13 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
