Dear friends,
August 27, 2006
I start my mail with bitter sadness and our helplessness to see our greatest of all Baloch leader statesmen, father of all Baloch freedom fighters, The Great Nawab Mohammed Akbar Khan has embraced Shadeth who as promised when he left his home said I prefer death while defending Baloch rights in battle field then to lay dying in bed.
We Baloch swear by the name of almighty Allah that Baloch struggles lights lit by Nawab will continue and its flames will burn down all the chains of slavery in Balochistan I regret that I was not there when the enemy attacked and killed him even though we decided that we shall meet some where soon in Balochistan.
Is life so dear or peace so sweet as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take, but as for me, give me liberty, or give me death! Nawab Bugti did exactly what he so strongly believed in that is freedom for Baloch people or death!!!
I believe that imagination is stronger than knowledge -- myth is more potent than history -- dreams are more powerful than facts -- hope always triumphs over experience -- laughter is the cure for grief -- love is stronger than death. Our love for Nawab of entire Baloch Nation is eternal so his sacrifices are for Baloch National struggle, we grief for you our Nawab shall we never forget you and your sacrifices’ you ashamed the entire Baloch youth by taking arms in such an old age and died fighting like a lion, we loved you, we love you, shall we love you forever.
The state of Pakistan committed an error for which they will pay the price beyond their imagination Baloch throughout the world will grief and the grief will turn into bitterness which will explode tearing apart the so called Islamic state of Pakistan in pieces.
Nawab Sahib was a national leader and such leadership Baloch might never have again his strong leadership was a nail in the eyes of all Baloch enemies, when the Baloch rights were under negotiations he always said a strong No to enemies who would prefer him to agree for small items, the art of leadership is saying no, not yes. It is very easy to say yes.
The price of greatness is responsibility and Nawab was most responsible for his responsibilities he paid very high price for being responsible leader who did not compromised with his principle that was his greatness.
It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes short again and again, who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spends himself in a worthy cause, who at best knows achievement and who at the worst if he fails at least fails while daring greatly so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat. Theodore Roosevelt
All credit belongs to Nawab and Baloch history shall write his name on top of Baloch shaheeds in golden words. May god give you place in heavens along with his beloved people, Oh Nawab be rest assured that the kindle of freedom you lit will turn into flames and burn down Baloch enemies and freedom for Baloch is not far we are sad that you are not with us anymore. But will remain in our hearts and mind for ever.
