The tendency to the Baluch rites and beliefs, can not, at any rate, generate mass sentiments

The Baluch struggle for an independent Baluchistan from Iran has to be careful about the notions of mass sentiments and traditions that some of the religious, Marxist and federalist employ.

The rootlessness and xenophobia, commonly attributed to half-educated people are often so localised that it prevents any possibility of building a nation.


While the Persian invaders have been terrorising the Baluch’s cities, town, and villages and oppressing the people as happening all over Baluchistan, it is possible that the religious parties, valet federalist, Pro-Persian forces to channel the Baluch National resistance into religion, communist ideologies or pro-Iranian organisation



It has taken considerable time and effort to organise the Baluch semi-tribal into a sense of nationalism that often scattered in villages and tribal custom and regions.

That fact is that the state has imposed an undeclared war on The Baluch; therefore, the sense of Baluch interest is minimal to unite the Baluch against foreign aggression.

A common Baluch often learn that they are unique Nation when they are informed by intellectuals, or through the mass media; even so in the centralised state like Iran.

The tendency to the Baluch rites and beliefs, can not, at any rate, generate mass sentiments or sense of nationhood by itself.

The sense of unique group origins, the knowledge of unique group history and belief in its destiny, a sense of unique collective solidarity provide materials to the intellectuals in search of unique national solidarity.  In the right circumstances, the Baluch mass sentiments can be excited about national liberation.
