We have been over- hearing a lot of noises from self declared one man think tank , three men political party , pretty improved seven members political party. The state of political affairs was the same up to the 1979 Islamic revolution in western Baluchistan. The Baluch activists were divided between centralised communist parties, Islamic socialist parties, and Islamic parties.
The breakup of communist Block have demoralised the communist parties and they changed from the communist to social democratic parties, or shy nationalist. Some of them went silence forever and became very successful businessmen. Some of their leader had joined the Iranian revolutionary guard.
Nationalism has always been strong in Baluchistan ever before the nationalism was recognised as a political organisation in the world. The raise of educated elites from agricultural and nomadic society striving for a better Job and resources have compelled the Baluch elites to mobilise Baluch people in order to pressurise the central government for more Jobs, resources and politically appointment positions.
The Baluch elites never wanted the breakup of Iran, they wanted to mobilise people for the limited demand. The Iranian government define these elites as the legitimate opposition. These people criticise the ruling elites, but share the same grounds of the ruling elite’s ideology and believe that policy can be changed in future, the Iranian ruling elite tolerates them and provide them away to influence the ruling elites.
The people of western Baluchistan historically belong to once was the tribal confederation of Baluchistan. Western Baluchistan historically is not part of Iran. The Iranian forces invaded Baluchistan in 1927. The people of western Baluchistan are ethnically Baluch, religiously Sunni. Iran is Shiite majority state ruled according to Shiite (Faqeh) or supreme Shiite religion leader wishes.
Humanity always followed a kind of religion; there is not a place on earth where there are a group of people who does not follow a religion. Rudeness against a religious is insult to a man’s culture. No civilisation has survived without religion. Religion define a culture therefore religion and culture belong to all Baluch. Shiite religion survive on the hate against Sunni, therefore discrimination against Sunni in Iran has been institutionalised.
The Iranian has always used excessive force to maintain their control over Baluchistan. The relation between Baluch and Iran is the relation between conquerors and conquered, it has not changed since 1927. Iran has assassinated the threat of real opposition to their rules over Baluchistan; they have used local criminal like Aedok Bamari. Iran has trained the world first fully trained suicide regiment and used it against American in Lebanon and Iraq, Afghanistan. We have the old say in Baluchi, if one would do a bad deed one would do it for one-self, if one would do a good deed one would do it for one-self. The Iranian bad deeds have caught up with him.
The London based one man think tank brought up a cruel example and has showed no respect for the life to him some life worth more than the others. Aedok Bamari was his ideal killer who killed respected Islamic scholar Mullavi Abdul mulik Mullazade in Karachi on behalf of the Iranian revolutionary guard. He was the contract killer.
His second ideal hero is not the better than Bamari. Of course every life deserves to be protected. But the state is the guardian of life and property regardless of a citizen religion and colours. Have you ever forgotten the scene were the Iranian court official put the Baluch for hanging and bring in the vigilantes to chant Wahabi must be hanged because of his religion!
Assassinations and kangaroo court, Shiite judges, social stigma, collective humiliation of Baluch in public, public hanging and arrogant elites are deriving the Baluch to suicide. One should campaign to stop the above injustices against the Baluch first. Mr. think tank is generalising the people behaviour, yes people imitate each others, and the Baluch are more likely to imitate the state than the others the state of Iran is a very vicious state one does not need to go far to learn use of violence where the state is the world number one university of the terrorists. One should not generalise situations.
The Baluch, who do not speak the Persian language and cultural- religiously are different from the state language and religion, have remained at the bottom of the social hierarchy; there are no hopes on sight these disadvantages will be corrected for their children.
Mr. A. Doshkai and others have been advocating for the Baluch to remove these handicaps for their children by assimilating to the Persian culture and forsake their religious and follow Shiite faith; in fact many have taken these paths.
But Baluch in general like to live a life as a freeman not a slave.
