The Persian continuous attacks on the Baluch culture have
reached the point that even some Baluch start condemning their own tradition. The
success of Persian radio and soap opera in depicting the Baluch as a little man
lack a culture, language, myth and land of their own have attracted some Baluch
in the western Baluchistan. These attacks on the Baluch culture repeated in
newspapers, cartoon, featuring the Baluch as people without art and
civilization of their own.
The state artfully has destroyed the Baluch traditional industry,
economy, sense of independence and culture. The language is the fundamental source for human communication
and development. The Baluch are not allowed to develop their language and it is
under threat from all side. The Baluch youth in the Iranian occupied Baluchistan
are forced into the manipulative Persian cultivated culture.
The Baluch tradition may not offers full riches to the 21st
century demands, but there is no other tradition that satisfy their youth completely, because the power of consuming
culture has grown continuously and its attacks on all old traditions in the
name of modernity relentless.
This barbarian demand more from the Baluch youth in the
western Baluchistan than their parent expected to scarify to the Persian state.
For those opportunistic and pleasure seeker I will say this, your choice will
lead to debase you from your culture, taste and eventually to dullness and kill
your culturally and you become a faceless number, with no history, no future,
echo of past. It is very difficult to declare a living man a dead.
