Modernity;

Modernity;
1. In Baluch society, literacy is confined to a small percentage of the population. Indigenous language is not promoted in state schools. Those who have educated in compacted state language are unable to engage in semantic work and context-free communication.
2. Where as in the modern states language and culture became the cement for the unified societies, one based on uprooted traditionalized individuals who had to be integrated into nation and only acceptable identity is citizenship based upon language and culture.
3. Therefore nationalism must erode traditional Baluch societies, and take language and culture as the sole basis for identity. In modern society we are all citizens and must be mass educated in the standardized public education system by the state.
4. Modernization can divide the region in developed and undeveloped states. It also divides the populations; urban city dweller, and uprooted peasant, and small land owners, who are increasingly excluded from urban resources. Now baloch are excluded from urban resources, (education, health, housing, jobs) do not share culture, language, colour of their skin with those controlling the resources here ethnic rivalry have ensued.
5. If the Baluch have shared language and culture with the Persian and Pakistanis the ensuing discontents would have been a class conflict. In these circumstances Baluch may attempt to see it as a class conflict, which it is not, it is ethnic conflict collective denial by Iranian and Pakistan to Baluch nation collectively.
6. Communist parties in Iran and Pakistan have argued that the Baluch exclusion from resources is the class conflict, and they mobilized large number of supporters to the extent that communist parties are stronger among the Baluch population in Pakistan than the religious parties. Communist parties in Iranian Baluchistan also have numerous supporters.
7. Baluch survived pre-modern period there was no need for nationalism in pre-modern societies. Agrarian and artisan Baluch were ruled by Khan or Sardar who may not have a shared culture with the great masses that worked and paid taxes. The traditional ruler did not have large bureaucracy.
8. There would be no Baluch nor Baluchistan if the Baluch are not united. The Baluch are subdivided into dialect, region, tradition and their tribal grievances could never take national form. Baluch do not have high culture, Baluch lack literate and standard public culture supported by specialists and public education.
9. Uncultivated culture is characterized of pre-modern societies, which could not survive modernity, they had to be turned into high cultures or they would perish. Nation and nationalism are necessary and functional for modernity. Nations are modern phenomenon nothing before them matters.
10. Nations destinies are not chosen, men do not need nationalities. It is modern time that needs nations and nationality looks natural. Faced with the administration and great armies of Iran and Pakistan Baluch are helpless. Baluch have no gun, no wealth, and no skills to match these armies. But Baluch have one thing that is people that is their only commodity. They must mobilize people and invite them into history, write invitation card in Baluchi language and culture and channel their sentiments into national resistances.
11. Baluch nationalism must remember that strong Pakistan nationalist will destroy Baluch nationalism; Iranian nationalist will destroy Baluch identity in Iran for ever. It is possible Baluch cannot resist Persian onslaught forever they have already given in to the Persian superiority. Persian have the power to disorient the Baluch and ultimately destroy them, Baluch in Pakistan are not in superior position they are divided into tribal rivalry.

Baluch must have a life of its own.
