No body seems to be serious about Balochistan!

Placate the Baloch and sideline the sardars...
Already late but it is time to take political action and not succumb like Nawaz Sharif in front of Sardars...

Creative thinking is the need of the hour. Love not hate is the need of the hour. Statesmanship and not vendetta is the need of the hour. Our Baloch brothers our co-citizens and our compatriots who have been badly let down. In the desire to please the sardars we completely forgot about the real Baloch, the son of the soil and our co-citizen, our compatriot, our brother. We both got freedom on the same day August 14, 1947. We have to go back to the basics.

We were not freed so that we be the slaves of some one else. I was infuriated the other day when in a forum some one was of the opinion that we must pay sardars money  like the Brits did to buy their loyalty. He was also of the opinion that Balochs were the slaves of Sardars. I took strong objection to it. They are no body's slaves but equal citizens of a proud country called Pakistan. Those who made them slaves should be dispossessed of the their power. Their power comes from land. Take it away from them and give to the poor Baloch who they have tried to crush for over 60 years.

We have paid money for the past 60 years to sardars what do we have on hand? All the money eaten up by the sardars, no development what so ever, arms in every body's hands and total anarchy. No safety, no security, no schooling, no hospitals, no roads, nothing. Whatever the Federation gives Balochistan is consumed by the Sardars. Enough is enough. Pakistan has to talk tough to the Sardars and befriend the Baloch. All policies should be aimed to benefit the common Baloch not Sardars.

Regardless of the threats development of Baluchistan should start right away. We need to give them safety and security. The State shall provide that while every body including the sardars surrender their weapons. Otherwise there will be no safety and security to do any thing. The process of education and hospitals and infrastructure development must start now without any delay.

It is time to get into political negotiations with the Baloch or their elected representatives. A Baloch means a Baloch on the street, the common Pakistani in residing in Balochistan. Do not talk to the Sardars they have failed the people of Baluchistan miserably. If Pakistan talks to the sardars, then it is the death knell to the relationship between the Balochis and Pakistan.

Bring the Baloch in the fold of Pakistani fraternity. They have no problem with us. They are there all over Pakistan. Their rights have been usurped by the Sardars and not Pakistan please understand that.

But alas where is the leadership to lead Pakistan out of this morass with firmness, resolve and a dying wish to do good for the people of Baluchistan and keep the country united. Will some one rise to the occasion please?
I wish I could write in the local Baloch dialect. Will someone translate in the local Baloch dialect please?

It is wrong to say Bugti was murdered...

See how one word changes the meaning

The guy was not murdered but died in military action although he brought it upon himself. When people die as a result of military action it is not called murder.

The way media at the behest of some political forces is using this incident for political mileage is anti-patriotic. It is totally unjustified using that word. Our army does not murder people. Whoever uses such words must be prosecuted.

Hamid Mir, God knows what is his agenda calls it a "baqaeda murder" meaning a full fledged murder as if Musharraf has gone and killed him with a knife or a pistol. One wonders how he can say this and why the ex-President does not sue such anchors for misleading people and building a positive image of criminals.

Who ever fights The State of Pakistan is a traitor and a criminal and The State shall deal with them accordingly. I am amazed at the words used by Hamid Mir. I cannot place him in the category of journalists for sure.

Unable to digest development in Baluchistan for the first time against the wishes of the sardars they have started to stoke separtist feelings. I have interviewed many common working Baluchis who left Baluchistan as there were no chances of employment and have found them all to be in favour of Pakistan. They openly say that these sardars just cannot bear development of Baluchistan as they cannot continue to treat them as slaves for long. This is the crux of the matter. We love the people of Baluchistana and they are with us.

Sardars must join the common man and give up their usurped and British awarded lands for "ghaddari" and voluntarily give to the landless poor in Baluchisthan and join the mainstream. If they do not do this themselves we must introduce land ceiling and take over their excess land and distribute among poor.

These are beautiful pictures of old times. No where are the Sardars seen as Kings or Princes. One wonders how they claim to be princely states like that of Hyderabad, Mysore, Kashmir or even Gwalior, Junagadh etc. Balochistan figures no where as a Princely State. The claim of Sardars does not seem to hold ground historically. See earlier detailed post on this blog.
