The honorable and prominent Baloch leader, Nawab Khair Baksh Marri in his recent interview said; “Baloch is one body which has been cut and divided to Iran, Pakistan and Afghanistan.”
Such a powerful and inspiring vision should convince every son of Balochistan from all areas of its vast land. Balochistan’s leaders, intellectual’s, writers, students, activists, Men and Women should not abandon Balochistan with their self-centered and compartmentalized mind to keep themselves polarized and divided because that is what the enemies of Balochistan strive for.
Unfortunately, this is the biggest irony amongst the Baloch people due to a lack of inspiration and “vision,” this deficiency has left their national struggle for self-determination at a stall. Baloch national struggle has been facing many setbacks throughout its political history.
There is lack of commitment amongst many Baloch leaders and intellectuals to the Baloch cause. That has perpetuated throughout the Baloch political struggle, this not a cause of Baloch tribalism which is said to be an obstacle that prevents the Baloch achieving the self- determination it has for so longed been searching for. Many Baloch leaders are striving for self-comfort in their life and collecting more wealth, because of that many Baloch leaders knowing their weaknesses, yet they are continue to misguide their people and some intellectuals knowingly support them this is deliberate “intellectual dishonesty.”
After Nawab Akbar Khan Bugti Shaheed –e- Watan, Mir Balach Marri Shaheed, Dr. Khalid Shaheed and many others that have sacrificed their precious life for the Baloch cause. They have changed the political landscape of Balochistan; I believe the elephant is coming out from the room.
As Waja Towghi makes strong comments” Why are you using this Balochi-Culture site for the Mujahidin-e-Khalq cum Saudi cum Pahlavi cum ISI-Sunni Mullah propaganda?”
It seems some unseen and hidden forces are playing the religious card against the Baloch national struggle and trying to overshadow the historical grievances of Baloch under the Persian regime, shia regimes of Iran, otherwise persecutions of Sunni Baloch people in Iran is nothing new. The Iranian regime for many decades has been targeting and assassinating Baloch Sunni religious leaders and Baloch Mullah’s. It is well known that the Sunni religious leaders and Mullah’s belong to Baloch people whether they are good or bad. When they are being executed, killed and facing persecutions Baloch should expose the radical regimes of Iran “heinous crimes” against all Baloch.
As long as you are sincere, honest and have good faith, and only care for your people. Then I believe that there is nothing wrong with using Balochi-Culture, posting any sources which are going to expose the injustices against Baloch people in all aspects of their life in their own land.
As an English poet from the 18th century Erasmus Darwin said “He who allows oppression shares the crimes.”
Although Baloch secular nations always welcomed other minorities in their homeland such as Hindus and Christians, the same cannot be said of their oppressive counterparts Pakistan and Iran. They do not believe in the equality, justice and democracy. Eastern Balochistan for the last 60 years has never seen democracy nor is the Western Balochistan expecting it any time soon.
Further he writes; “Why your sources of news like this (Iran VAN) are always silent about the real tragedies of Eastern Baloch lands?”
This is not rocket science, everyone knows Baloch have no influence on the media in both states. But, many Baloch websites are playing a great role in this regard they are trying to encounter the regimes lies, misinformation, and propagandas.
There is also an opportunity for you Waja Dr. Towghi (as “Dr” “PHD”) to encounter against the regimes lies and misinformation about Baloch nation through your scholarly writing to contribute in the Baloch newspapers and the websites.
Mir. Dard beautifully says in his poetry;
Urdu-Tuhmaten chand appne zimme dhar chale- Kis liye aae the ham kyakar chale.
English-Nothing but blame and blemish have we earned in life-What, else, we came to do what achieved in life.
As self-claimed spokespersons for Balochistan, you have been carrying for a long time the banner of “Liaison, Baloch Human Rights International.” As an individual, instead of joining the Baloch Diaspora in their collective struggle as a human rights activist to make a better contribution for the Baloch people at the same time preaching unity. |
