Formed in 1967, the BSO has campaigned for education, development of Balochi as mother language and medium of instruction, and the political rights of the Baloch people in the Pakistan-occupied Balochistan.

طلباء کیلئے سیاست کیوں ضروری ہے

مورخہ 26 نومبر 1967 بلوچ اسٹوڈنٹس آرگنائزیشن کا یوم تاسیس ہے اور اب اسکی عمر 49 برس ہوگئی ہے۔

ان تمام سالوں کے دوران اس نے بہت سارے اتار چڑھاو دیکھے ہیں لیکن اس نے بلوچ قومی جدوجہد میں اپنی صلاحیتوں کا لوہا منوایا ہے اور اس کا ہر اول دستہ رہا ہے اور مستقبل کی بلوچ قیادت کیلئے یہ ایک نرسری ہے۔ اب اسے اور بھی زیادہ بھاری ذمہ داری اٹھانی ہے: اسے بلوچ نوجوانوں کو سیاسی اور علمی دونوں میدانوں رہنمائی کرنی ہے کیونکہ پاکستانی اسٹابلشمنٹ بلوچستان میں اپنے استحصال اور نا انصافیوں کیخلاف سیاسی طور پر آگاہ اور تعلیم یافتہ نوجوانوں کو سب سے بڑا خطرہ سمجھتی ہے۔ بی ایس او (آزاد) نے اپنی میراث کی پاسداری وفاداری سے کی ہے۔

کینیڈا میں مقیم بلوچ طلبا اور دوستوں نے مجھے ”طلباء کیلئے سیاست کیوں ضروری ہے“ پر کچھ لکھنے کیلئے کہا۔ جو کچھ میں نے لکھا اسے وہاں ایک سیمینار میں پڑھا گیا اور یہاں میں اسے آپ کے ساتھ شیئر کر رہا ہوں۔

Why politics is necessary for students

Why politics is necessary for students

November 26, 1967, is the foundation day of the Baloch Students’ Organization and it is now 49 years old.

By: Mir Mohammad Ali Talpur

In the intervening years, it has seen a lot of ups and downs but has proved its mettle in the Baloch national struggle and remains as its vanguard, the nursery for the future Baloch leadership. Now it has to shoulder even more responsibilities: to educate, both politically and academically, the Baloch youth because the Pakistani establishment considers the politically-educated youth as the greatest threat to its exploitation and injustices in Balochistan. The BSO-Azad upholds its legacy faithfully.

Baloch students and friends in Canada asked me write something on “Why politics is necessary for students”. What I wrote was read there at a seminar and here I am sharing it with you.
