آزادی کی لگن تبصرہ : میر محمد علی ٹالپر ترجمہ: لطیف بلیدی
انہوں نے اپنے اقدار اور اصولوں پر عمل کرنے کی بہت بڑی قیمت اداکی
نواب خیر بخش مری 29 فروری 1928 کو پیدا ہوئے، انکا نام انکے نامور دادا کی وساطت سے رکھا گیا جنہوں نے پہلی عالمی جنگ کیلئے مریوں کو بطور ایندھن فراہم کرنے سے انکار کردیا تھا اور اسکے لئے انہوں نے 1918ءمیں برطانیہ کے خلاف گمبز اور ہرب کے تاریخی لڑائیاں لڑیں۔
وہ سردار دودا خان کی بھی اولاد میں سے تھے جن کے تحت مریوں نے مئی 1840 میں سارتاف کے علاقے میں لیفٹیننٹ والپول کلارک کی قیادت میں برطانوی فوجیوں کا مکمل صفایا کیا تھا۔ پھر اگست 1840 میں، میجر کلبورن کے تحت ایک بڑی فوج کاہان کی امداد کو بھیجی گئی لیکن نفسک سے ہی اسکا راستہ تبدیل کرلیا گیا۔

A love for liberty – Mir Mohammad Ali Talpur
Many political analysts claim that Nawab Sahib was a late convert to the idea of an independent Balochistan; but this is patently incorrect.
NAWAB Khair Bakhsh Marri, born on Feb 29, 1928, was named after his illustrious grandfather who, unwilling to provide Marris as cannon fodder for the First World War, fought the historic battles of Gumbaz and Harab against the British in 1918.
He was also a descendent of Sardar Dodah Khan, under whom the Marris in May 1840, at Sartaaf, decimated the troops led by Lt Walpole Clarke. Again in August 1840, a large force under Major Clibborn sent for relieving Kahan was routed at Nafusk.

Khair Bakhsh Marri
He said the the hand of so called friendship being extended to us has the blood of Bengalis on it. The massacre in Bengal is too fresh to be forgotten. He said what’s the guarantee that the same hand will not shed our ( Baloch/Pashtun) blood?
Afrasiab Khattak
In the general elections of 1970 my organization, Pashtun Students Federation supported National Awami Party (NAP), a party of progressive and nationalist political forces with a strong base in Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan. It was at this stage that I came to know about the main leaders of the Party. Khair Bakhsh Mari (or KB as his close friends called him) emerged as one of the top leaders of the party in Balochistan. To many, this powerful chieftain or nawab of Mari Baloch tribe with an impressive personality, remained a mystery as despite being a member of an established sociopolitical elite he maintained a consistent and active interest in theory and practice of Marxism. He also gradually came to be known for his straight talk on the national question. Like many young activists I also developed interest in knowing about his ideas. I followed his speeches in public meetings and media.
