It is sad to hear the tragic news of Sardar Taj Mohammad
Gumshadzai assassination. It is a great shock to those who knew the Sardar Taj
Mohammad and his family. They are symbols of resistance.
His great- grandfather
Khalil Khan fought the British, his father Sardar Khalil Khan second was poisoned
to death by a doctor after he negotiated a settlement with the Iranian and
returned from exile. His brother Alam
jan resisted the Persian occupation of the western Baluchistan and killed in unequal
fight between him and the Persian forces in Gusht in 1980 and he was a young
man in his late 20 years old. And his
brother Sharif khan also killed by Iranian security forces on his way from
Zahedan to Saravan.
The Gumshadzai family has paid too much to live dignified
lives, we salute their courage and they are sources of aspiration for
generations to come.
Gumshadzai tribe is one of the strongest Baluch tribe in
Baluchistan reside in Iran, Pakistan, and Afghanistan. A Gumshadzai man can travel
70KM a day on foot. They are strong self- confidence characters.
The Iranian sees the
Gumshadzai as a threat to their artificial state. Bibi Hur Bibi a woman warrior
leader fought and defeated the Qajar in the 19th century in the
Battle of Sarha. The Gumshadzai fought
the British and looted their properties in Sandh (now Pakistan) and The British
coloniser had killed Gumshadzai. The Gumshadzai fought battles against the
Pahlavi rulers of Iran and they also have fought many battles against the Iranian
Shiite regime.
The Gumshadzai tribal homeland
artificially divided between three states. Injustice against Gumshadzai has shamed
humanity, the Iranian have stolen man’s homeland and now they have stolen a
father from his children, leader from his community. What a shame! The Iranian should
know that the Baluch will survive and Gumshadzai and spirits of Gumshadzi will
survive in every Baluch.
