Baloch Culture Day

Looking like a Baloch on ‘culture day’ may be expensive in terms of money but being a Baloch by conduct as per history and historical responsibility comes at a price which probably not many of us are ready to pay

‘Am I Baloch because of my Paag?
“Resistance Day or Cultural Day”

Mir Mohammad Ali Talpur

I am posing a question and will then try to answer it; in my answer I will express my views on something which has quite recently become a fad and fashion with zero returns either politically, culturally, socially or economically.

Does the Paag, Sadri and Chawat or Pashk and Sarri define a person or his/her Balochiyat or is it the character and deeds of that person which truly define his/her Balochiyat and love for Balochistan?

کیا میں اپنے پاگ ( پگڑٰی )کی وجہ سے بلوچ ہوں؟

‘کلچر ڈے’ کے موقع پر ایک بلوچ کی طرح دیکھنا پیسوں کے معاملے میں مہنگا پڑ سکتا ہے لیکن تاریخ اور تاریخی ذمہ داری کے مطابق طرز عمل کے مطابق ایک بلوچ ہونے کی قیمت اس قیمت پر آتی ہے جو شاید ہم میں سے بہت سے ادا کرنے کو تیار نہیں ہیں

میں ایک سوال کھڑا کر رہا ہوں اور پھر اس کا جواب دینے کی کوشش کروں گا۔ میرے جواب میں کسی ایسی چیز پر اپنے خیالات کا اظہار کروں گا جو حال ہی میں سیاسی ، ثقافتی ، معاشرتی یا معاشی طور پر صفر کی واپسی کے ساتھ ایک فیشن اور فیشن بن گیا ہے۔

کیا پاگ ، سدری اور چاوٹ )( جوتے )یا پشک قمیض اور سری کسی شخص یا اس کے بلوچیات کی تعریف کرتے ہیں یا یہ اس شخص کا کردار اور کام ہے جو واقعی اس کی بلوچیات اور بلوچستان سے محبت کی تعریف کرتا ہے؟

Canada: Karima Baloch’s Press Breifing on Human Rights Voilation in Balochistan and Zahid’s non-recovery

Three years after his abduction, Zahid Baloch is still missing.

Dear members of the press,

Thank you for joining us today in this briefing on Balochistan and human rights. My name is Karima Mehrab and I am the Chairperson of Baloch Students Organization-Azad (BSO-A). 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.

BSO-A holds hunger strike camp for recovery of #ZahidBaloch

A number of civil society and political activists showed their solidarity with members of the Baloch Students Organisation-Azad (BSO-A), who organised a hunger strike camp outside the Karachi Press Club on Friday, demanding the recovery of  its central chairman, Zahid Baloch.

Zahid Baloch was picked up by law enforcers on March 18, 2014 from Satellite Town in Quetta, BSO-A leaders alleged. “Since then, we have no information about Zahid,” said one of the female members of the BSO-A, sitting in the camp.

BSO-Azad Protests at the Canadian Parliament in Ottawa Demand to Free Zahid Baloch, End to Chinese Control of Gwadar, Balochistan

Ottawa, March 18, 2016: Baloch Canadians heeding to the call of Baloch Students Organization –Azad began arriving in Ottawa today on a cold March morning to commemorate the 2 years of enforced disappearance of Zahid Baloch, former chairman, BSO-Azad.

Karima Baloch, chairperson, BSO-Azad stated that the protest at the Canadian Parliament, the Embassy of the People’s Republic of China, and the Embassy of Islamic Republic of Pakistan is to inform the world that China and Pakistan are partners in the crimes against humanity in Balochistan. Thousands of Baloch have been massacred by the Pakistani army to fulfill the ambitious dreams of Chinese control of the deep seaport of Gwadar and access to the strategic waters of Strait of Hormuz.

During her year on the run, Karima was elected as the first female president of the Balochistan Students Organization, which has a vast network of activists across Balochistan.

She could have ended up as the Joan of Arc of Balochistan, a territory larger than Poland that sits at the mouth of the strategic Strait of Hormuz, leading to the Persian Gulf.

It’s people say they’re occupied by Pakistan.

But as fate would have it, Karima Baloch, 32, said she escaped a Pakistani military attack on the town of Tump in Balochistan, getting away in the darkness of night as mortar shells rained on her home.

BSO-Azad gets recognition in Canada

BALOCHISTAN:  The Central Spokesperson of Baloch Student Organization- Azad (BSO-A) revealed in a statement that BSO-A had been registered as an organization under Federal Law governing Non-profit organizations in Canada.

He further stated that the registration was the fruit of hard work put together under the direct supervision of Banuk Karima Baloch and Latif Johar helped by several supporters of the organization. He asserted that the registration demonstrated the Canadian government recognition of the importance of BSO-A to carry out its activities freely and peacefully on its soil to highlight the Baloch Cause across the world. It also defied the Pakistani government efforts to eradicate BSO by banning it to carry out peaceful and democratic activities in the support of a free and independent Balochistan.

کینڈا آنے کا مقصد بلوچستان میں ہونے والے جنگی جرائم، انسانی حقوق کی پامالیوں، سمیت تمام اسیران کی آواز کو مہذب دنیا تک ایک موثر انداز میں پہنچا سکوں،بانک کریمہ بلوچ

کوئٹہ (سنگر نیوز)بلوچ اسٹوڈنٹس آرگنائزیشن آزاد کے چیئرپرسن بانک کریمہ بلوچ نے ایک آن لائن نیوز ایجنسی بلوچستان ٹائمز کو انٹر ویو دیتے ہوئے کہا کہ چونکہ وہ ایک ریاست کی قبضہ گیریت کے خلاف جدوجہد کررہے ہیں، اس ریاست کی میڈیا و عدلیہ سمیت تمام ادارے ریاست کے ستون ہیں جو کہ انہی کی پروگرام و پالیسیوں کے محافظ ہیں۔

پاکستانی میڈیا بلوچ قومی تحریک کو غلط رنگ دینے کے لئے منفی پروپگنڈہ کررہی ہے تاکہ بلوچ قومی تحریک کو دیگر طاقتوں کا پراکسی ثابت کیا جا سکے۔ پاکستانی میڈیا چونکہ آزاد نہیں ہے اس لئے وہ ہمارے موقف کو پیش کیے بغیر ہمارے خلاف پروپگنڈہ کررہی ہے۔
