The hybrids

Mir Mohammad Ali Talpur

This blighted place has been run like a personal fiefdom by delusional military rulers who think they are politicians par excellence and civilians fanatically militaristic – hybrids that serve neither this nor that purpose. In fact, the hybrid incarnate is the military man who thinks he is a politician and a statesman. These hybrids wear two hats, have two skins and are a bane for the people. All assuming authority here instantly metamorphose into dictators because they know that the only way to more pelf and power is to ride roughshod over all decency, values and principles. 

They have always desperately sought to satisfy their cartels and constituencies. The problem has progressively increased in scope and magnitude because these lobbies have now assumed disproportionate influence. They have to satisfy the oversized egos and insatiable greed with lucrative and prestigious jobs.

We shall not be Silenced, We shall not Forget, We shall not Retreat, We shall not Surrender

Occupying forces can never win heart and minds of a colonized nation. Their weapons of choice are fear, annihilation and demographic change for subduing it and eliminating the seeds of resistance.

By calling themselves “Sarmachar” Baloch freedom fighters have eliminated the psychology of fear. Sarmachar literally means “a person who does not care about his head” in other words fearless of death.

Extraordinarily ordinary

Mir Mohammad Ali Talpur

There is an anecdote about a person who was quite unsuccessfully trying to sell an ordinary donkey at a market place, but then had the good fortune of meeting an excellent salesman (or call him a PR man of the class and calibre who sold Benazir to the West and made her the ‘Daughter of the West’). 

The story goes that after the PR man praised the supposed and imaginary qualities and the pedigree of that donkey, a crowd of people gathered, all very anxious to buy that rare specimen. The owner asked him if the donkey was really that good, he would rather keep it. The PR man laughed and told him it was an extraordinarily ordinary donkey and only his eloquence and eulogy had enhanced its value, so sell it before he ended up holding the can.
