Syed Zahoor Shah Hashmi

Balochi literature is very rich in oral tradition but comparatively poor in the printed form. It was only in the early twentieth century that Baluchi began to be transcribed in books. Under such trying conditions, it wasn’t easy for anyone to devote his entire life to the promotion of Baluchi literature. Syed Zahoor Shah Hashmi was a man with the commitment to do that.

Syed Hashmi just not modernized Baluchi poetry by giving it a new contemporary direction, but he also freed Baluchi poetic diction from the influence ofPersian and Urdu. He set a mile stone by writing the first Baluch novel in the language. He also developed the standard Baluch script, standardized Baluchi grammar, syntax and authored the first comprehensive Baluchi dictionary, with thousands of entries spread on 833 folio size pages, supplemented with a guide on pronunciation and punctuation etc.

Syed Hashmi born in 1939 A.D. in the coastal town of Gwadar, which was then, lay in the territorial jurisdiction of the sultanate of Oman. He received elementary education at home from his father, Syed Mohammad Shah, who was a learned man in the oriental tradition. He was enrolled in a local school, where he taught Arabic language as a compulsory subject, besides Persian and English. When he was in juvenile, he acquired a fondness for Persian poetry, particularly that of Hafiz Shirazi, Shaikh Saadi and Allama Iqbal, which led his writing Persian as well as Urdu poetry.

He forms a social welfare organization for the development of Gwadar with the help of other inmates of Gwadar. Soon, he was very popular in Gwadar for his truly commitments to their people. The wali of Gwadar took notice this and realized that he might be dangerous for him by creating this type of awareness in the people of Gwadar. In a very short span of time, Syed Hashmi, not just established a library in the town, but he also changed this library into a centre of political activities. With the order of Wali of Gwadar, he was arrested and sentenced into imprisoned. This act wormed the atmosphere of Gwadar and Wali of Gwadur soon realized that this might be changed into a worst scenario for him and his Government position in the Gwadar. With this immense fear, the Wali of Gwadar not just free him but also sent him into exile.

Syed Hashmi came to Pakistan and joined the Radio Pakistan Karachi as in charge of Baluchi Service. During his services of Baluchi transmission, he learned, that the Baluchi language is very poor in form of prose and modern literature. He also feels the shortage of any standard Baluchi script and grammar. With the aims of providing a standard script to Baluchi language and promotion of good Baluchi literature, he started writing not just Baluchi poetry but modern prose as well. He also started research about classic Baluchi poetry. He also took efforts for the merger of two Baluchi organizations Halqa-i-Adab and Baluchi Bazm-i-Adab to form a one organization Zuban-i-Sarchamag. In 1954, he compiled a basic Qaida of Baluchi language. This Qaida was much wormed welcomed and approved by Sarchamag and veteran Baluchi writer and researcher i.e. Gul Khan Nasir and Mohammad Hussain Anqa. He and his linguist colleague Abdul Samad Amiri visited different area of Baluchistan for the search of different dialects of Baluchi language. In this journey, they gathered valuable knowledge about the classical as well as contemporary language and literature. Syed also visited Iran to study the Baluchi literature of that area.

Due to harsh disputes between the members of Sarchamag, he left the Karachi and spent many years of his life in Bahrain.

During his last years of life, he devoted his days and nights for the development of Baluchi language. Tuberculosis caught him and his health was deteriorating day by day, but he speeds up his works. During his ailments, he compiled a book about Baluchi grammar named Baluchi Siyahag-i-rast nibisag.

After discharge from hospital, he came once again in United India, but this time his destination was Bombay, where he published his books. These books were Baluchi Siyahag-i-rast nibisag, Sistaagen dastonk, Angar-o-trungle, Trapkanen trimp, Baluchi bungeji, Mirgind and Baluchi translation of Quranic para, Ain Meem.

In 1963, a European orientalist Dr. John Strasser came to Pakistan to study the Baluchi language. He visited the different Baluchi-speaking areas of Pakistan, Iran and Afghanistan, and held meeting with the Baluchi writers. Strasser also met Hashmi and was greatly inspired by hid insight into Baluchi language and literature. Later, Strasser went to Pune (India) and invited Hashmi to join him there. There the latter had meetings with the prominent linguist Dr. N.S. Shukla and learnt a lot about the language of Indo-Iranian origin from him, which deepened his knowledge of Baluchi language.

In 1970, he got married. In Karachi, Hashmi published Nazuk, the first novel in Baluchi language, and finalized Sayad Gung (Baluchi dictionary), Baluchi Zuban-o-Adab ki Tarikh and other books. Sayad Gung is the most precious labor of his life, which took 26 years of extensive research, challenging journeys across the Baluchi-speaking world and countless discussion with the scholars, and the common folk to complete.

Syed Hashmi died April 1978 A.D. in Karachi. He is no more now, but his countless efforts for the promotion of Baluchi language will remain in our minds.

In a meeting Dr Basheer Azeem of BRP, Khalil Baloch of BNM, Zahid Baloch of BSO-azaad and Qayum Baloch of Baloch Bar have announced wheel jam and shutter down strike on 27 March. They appealed all other Baloch political parties, student Organisations and the Baloch Nation to join the strike to express their anger against the forced occupation of Balochistan. The committee has advised the member parties of BNF and their members to make necessary arrangements for the protest in advance.

The committee has also announced that on 3 April there will be a public gathering in Gwader in the memory of Martyrs of Murghab (G.M Baloch, Sher Mohammad Baloch and Lala Munir Baloch).

Eliminating Culture : The Blasts at Khuzdar University

By Sobdaar Khan Baloch




Two students of Khuzdar Engineering University were killed and near 35 others injured in the blasts on university premises here in Balochistan on Tuesday evening. According to media reports, the students were celebrating Balochi Cultural Day organized by Baloch Students Organization (BSO) Azaad when this unpleasant incident took place. The bodies and the injured were shifted to civil Hospital Khuzdar. Those killed were identified as Junaid Baloch and Sikandar Baloch. According to eyewitnesses, three hand grenades were at the gathering by unidentified attacker who managed to escape from the site.

BSO Azaad blamed the Pakistani intelligence agencies responsible for the attack and gave a shutter down call on 4th March. In an interview to a private tv channel, BSO Azaad Secretary General Mr. Zahid Baloch blamed the state armed forces responsible for the attack and named the university Vice chancellor as an “agent of the colonial forces”. The people reacted strongly towards the incident and blocked the Quetta-Karachi Highway, ransacked a state-run Utility Store and set a post office on fire. The students boycotted classes and took our rallies to mark protest against this incident. All the nationalist parties of Balochistan condemned this incident and termed it as a terrorist act against poor students.

It is sad to note that none of the Pakistani media channels bothered to cover this incident and didn’t report anything about such important news item. This again shows that the media in Pakistan is biased towards Baloch cause as most of the media channels are owned by non Baloch businessmen who do not see the issue profitable enough to be considered. The Pakistani media channels have always been reluctant to give proper coverage to incidents in Balochistan. Many people believe that they are following the instructions of state officials and avoid annoying them for any reason.

Following the incident, the Chief Minister of Balochistan announced compensation for the dead and free medical treatment for the injured. He further said that those responsible for this event will be brought to justice. But the families of the students have refused to accept any help from the provincial government and consider it as a collaborator of the state in furthering the colonization. Baloch Militant groups have rejected the inquiry orders by the government and have vowed to avenge the blood of the martyrs. “We don’t need the money and sympathies of the state” said Baloch Republican Army spokesman, Mir Shehak Baloch. It is also important to note that a similar attack on BSO Azaad rally took place few months back but the no arrests took place.

The whole province is paralyzed after the incident and it has led to numerous attacks on Pakistani security which are considered as colonial forces by the native Baloch population. A complete shutter down was observed all over the province and protesters set on fire an assembly hall, a government vehicle and telecoms cabinet. Police arrested many protesters and accused them of burning and causing damage to state infrastructure. It is interesting to note that the attacks show strong hatred against the state since all the places that were targeted represent the state such as the assembly hall or government vehicles. The protests all over the province deny the accusation of government that the nationalists have minor support and shows that people want to get rid of the state and support those fighting for the freedom of Balochistan.

Now the questions arises who attacked the cultural program and what was the motive behind this act? To answer this question, we must look at some of the facts that make the picture clear. This program was organized by BSO Azaad, a student organization that considers Pakistan state as an occupier and advocates the idea of independent Balochistan. Despite its peaceful protests and democratic nature, BSO Azaad has been threatened by the state security forces such as Frontier Core which has no respect for human rights and has been involved in killing and threatening the Baloch Population in general and the political workers in particular. Human Rights Commission of Pakistan held Frontier Core responsible for the attack on BSO Azaad rally few months back. So it is no surprise that people are still pointing towards Frontier Core for this incident.

Some of the local people have also been collaborating with FC and have full backing of the state against nationalist organizations such as the BLA. This group suffered losses at the hands of BLA in the past since BLA accused them of providing intelligence to the state about the nationalists groups. It is also believed by some people that this group under the supervision of Frontier Core might have carried out this attack on BSO Azaad. Although it is unclear that who was the culprit but one thing is very clear that those involved had the support of the law enforcement agencies such as the FC.

Another important question to be analyzed is why this gathering of students on cultural day was targeted? Historically culture represents identity and hence resistance against occupied forces. The Pakistani establishment feels threatened by any signs of Balochi culture since this denies their philosophy of “One Pakistani” nation and they try their best to eliminate the native Balochi culture and replace it with colonial lifestyle. For instance, Balochistan University of Information Technology and Management Sciences (BUITMS) is the only university where students have come to in formal uniform dress code which is uncommon practice at university level in Pakistan.


The Khuzdar incident will go in history as a day of suppression of human rights by shrewd means adopted by the Pakistani establishment. Killing of innocent and peaceful students will increase the people who consider taking up arms as the means to achieve independence and hence strengthen the struggle against the Pakistani forces deployed in Balochistan.The incident will have long term impact on the on going struggle in Balochistan and make students as the champions of the Baloch cause.

''Baloch Armed Defence Army'' is baseless: BLF

QUETTA:The spokesman of Baloch Liberation Front's Gwaram Baloch claimed that our fighters killed the informer of Millitary Intelligence(MI)in Mastung.News about ''Baloch Armed Defence Army'' is not true.This incident is done by Pakistani secret agencies ISI & MI.Our freedom fighters will respond back to the every propoganda of state secret agencies.Baloch is not afraid of anything Baloch nation has a history.

Protest for the release of Abdul Malik Regi

Karachi: Baloch political activist protested against the arrest of the leader of ‘Jandullah’ now BPRM Mr Abdul Malik Regi and demanded his immediate release, Malik Regi was arrest at the end of February and he has been accused for carrying out violent attacks against Iranian security forces. However, a Baloch political party “Baloch Right Council” says that Regi is the leader of Baloch Resistance Movement in Iranian occupied Balochistan and he was struggling for the rights of Baloch people.

Activists of Baloch Rights Council protested in front of Karachi press club to demand the release of Abdul Malik Regi. The protesters were holding pictures of Malik Regi and difference placards. The protesters chanted slogans against Iran and in favour of Regi. The protest demonstration has also strongly condemned the attacks on Baloch Students in Khuzdar.

Iran has claimed to have arrested Regi when he was going Kirghizstan via Dubai on 23, February this year. The Iranian government alleges that Regi was wanted for violent attacks on Iranian security forces in Western Balochistan. Where as a leader of Baloch Rights Council Ishaq Azaad Baloch not only rubbishes Iran’s claims but argues that Regi is not a religious extremist but he is a Baloch freedom fighter.

According Ishaq Azad they (Baloch) are demanding for Independent and greater Balochistan. He said no matter if their occupier was Pakistan, Iran or even Afghanistan they want their freedom and he considers Regi as a Baloch leader. The Iranian flag was set on fire in the Baloch Rights Council protest. They Baloch activists demanded that Iran and Pakistan must stop genocide of Baloch people and they also demanded the release of all forced-disappeared Baloch.

Balochistan remaines shut, several arrested, Pakistani forces fire live rounds on peaceful rallies

Occupied Balochistan: Shutter down and wheel jam protest was observed all over Balochistan for the third successive day against Khuzdar incident. BSO-azaad had given the call for protest which was backed by all other student organisation and political parties. All the major cities in Balochistan including Quetta, Kalat, Hub, Noshki, Surab, Panjgur, Kharan, Mastung, Khuzdar, Gwadar, Turbat, Pasni, Ormara, Mashky, Jhaoo and several others remained shut for the whole day.

Several protesters mostly students have been arrested from Hub, Quetta and Noshki. BSO-azaad spokesperson said they knew that they cannot gain independence by such protests but the purpose of the protest was to inform the International Community that Baloch are being massacred for holding peaceful rallies, Baloch Students are being killed for celebrating their cultural day. The protest was also meant to tell the International community that the Baloch are unified and will struggle united against Pakistan’s occupation over Baloch land.

An angry mob has set on fire the assembly hall of district Kech in Balochistan whereas all the schools, government offices and markets remained closed across Balochistan. Some violent incident has been reported after the security forces opened fire on peaceful rallies. It is believe that the Pakistani security forces have deliberately open fire crowds of people to incite them to restore to violence. According to news reports the FC has stopped journalists from covering the protest of BSO-azaad and seized the cameras of some scribes for taking pictures of the rallies.

Cases have been registered against activists of student and political parties. Speaking to media and participants of the protest rallies the leaders of Baloch parties vowed that the Baloch peoples’ struggle for Independence cannot be halted by such brutal acts of the state. Baloch are more determined than ever to carry on their journey toward their goal (Freedom).

Balochwarna notes that the massacre of the Baloch people in Karachi, killing of innocent Baloch student in Khuzdar and the second attack on Baloch students on Cultural day event have brought the Baloch people from different walks of life together and made them stand united against the state atrocities. We hope that Baloch people will stand as united alongside their brothers and sisters who are suffering at the hand of Pakistani and Iranian brutal security forces. No force in the world can stop the power of oneness and unity. However we must emphasise that Baloch must unite ideologically and practically and should focus on quality rather than quantity.

There are opportunists all around & among Baloch activists who are trying to spread misinformation to confuse the determined Baloch political activists from their ideological struggle, these opportunist are claiming to be the leaders on international level 'although they have no support on national level', and they are spreading vicious lies against respected and consistent Baloch leadership in order to confuse and deceive the International Community. Baloch enemies are well supported by the occupying states [Iran and Pakistan]. They have the support of states media and have all the facilities that one needs to carry on states’ dirty task of spreading confusion and mistrustfulness. We strongly believe that the Baloch youth have the potential to counter such propagandas of Baloch enemy. We hope that educated Baloch youth abroad and in Balochistan will play their significant role to Unite Baloch people ideologically against colonising powers and their agents in disguise.

Wide spread condemnation of Khuzdar incident

occupied Balochistan: Baloch Lawyers, Baloch student Organisations, political parties, and social organisation and teachers associations strongly condemned the attack on Baloch culture day event. The organisations that condemned the attack included BW, BNM, BRP, BWM, BRC, BUC, BVF, Injuman-e-Itehad-e-Marri, BSO-Azaad and its fractions, Baloch Bar Association and Baloch armed resistance organisations.

All the aforementioned groups have blamed the Pakistani Intelligence agencies for the unprovoked attack on innocent Baloch students. They also strongly criticised the Pakistani media, courts and authorities for keeping silence on the massacre of innocent Baloch students. The attack on Baloch students’ cultural event was considered an attack on Baloch culture and a failed attempt to weaken Baloch freedom movement.

They also offer their heartfelt condolences to the family members of martyred Baloch students and paid rich tributes to those who suffered injuries and received martyrdom. The attack on students was termed as a conspiracy to prevent Baloch students from continuing their education. They vowed to continue to struggle for the freedom of Balochistan and not to be deterred by such brutal acts of savage intelligence agencies of Pakistan. The Pakistani security forces have failed to face the Baloch freedom fighter and that is why they were targeting unarmed innocent civilian especially students in the cities and women and children in villages.

The social organisations have also criticised the International Human Rights Organisations and the UN, EU, and other western powers for their silent against attacks on civilian events and villages. They said hundreds of innocent people have been killed in Balochistan, million have been made homeless who are still living without adequate food and shelter, but the UN aid agencies are not providing them any help.

They demanded an International intervention and International inquiries into the killing of thousands of Balochistan by Pakistan armed forces. They urged the UN to send a fact finding mission in Balochistan and witness the atrocities against Baloch people.

Meanwhile Baloch armed resistance Organisation “The Baloch Sarmachaar” have also strongly condemned the attacks on Baloch students and promised to avenge the death of innocent people of Balochistan. BLA spokesperson Meerak Baloch, Lashkar-e-Balochistan spokesperson Lavang Baloch and BRA representative Shaihak Baloch have said that Baloch people should keep away from Pakistani security forces and their vehicles because they can attack them whenever they see the opportunity.

They also warned the local collaborators of the Pakistani intelligence agencies and security forces for mince their ways. “Their activities are under observation by Baloch freedom fighters and they will be punished ruthlessly for committing national crimes against Baloch people”.

A newly created group of ISI & MI claimed the responsibility of the attack on Baloch students’ cultural day program and warned that they will carry out further such attacks on all pro-independent parties including BNF, BRP and BSO –azaad. Following is the claim of the Pakistani Intelligence agencies sponsored organisation Quote:

“Baloch Armed Defence Army accepts responsibility: A Spokesman of Baloch Armed Defence Army has claimed responsibility of bomb explosion at Khuzdar Engineering University. Speaking with Correspondents form unknown place by telephone in Khuzdar Press Club, Mir Jang Baloch warned BSO Azad and its factions, Baloch National Front, BRP to targeting them. Spokesman also warned Correspondents not to public news of BSO factions or his army would target them as well. Spokesman said that they would offer more resistance and target BSO, Baloch National Front and BRP in every nook and corner of Balochistan”. http://www.thefrontierpost.com/News.aspx?ncat=qn&nid=200

BW comments: The above statement proves that ISI, MI and other intelligence agencies have created this so called defence army and they have decided to target Baloch pro-independent Student Organisations and political parties, who are practicing their democratic right to protest peacefully. We suggest that Baloch political parties should be extra conscious when protesting and organising meeting. There should always be some friends on guard to apprehend Pakistani intelligence sponsored agents. We urged Baloch people to adopt the policy of “United we stand divided we fall”. Pakistan has lost on moral grounds and that is why the immoral Pakistani security forces and Intelligence agencies are committing such inhuman crimes against innocent civilians.

BalochWarna urges International Red Cross, International Human Rights Organisation and the UN to intervene in Balochistan and take early measure to stop a human catastrophe from happening.

Khan Suleman Dawood's (Khan of Kalat) message of Unity

My Dear Baluch, we are at the crossroads of history where we can either become an independent country or be amongst nations which have perished and are long forgotten. My message to you is the message of UNITY. Let us unite as Baluch on the common policy of freedom for the Baluch. Let us send a message to the world that we are one Nation. Let us draw a road map to freedom; I invite all organisations, intellectuals and Sardars to join for the common cause of the Baluch nation and get over the squabbles among ourselves and move in the interest of Baluch and Baluchistan; all the Baluch have a stake in Baluchistan it does not belong to one group or tribe, it belongs to all the Baluch. The Council has full mandate to choose its own leadership. The task of the Council is to rise against the atrocities imposed on us by our oppressors, time has come for us to overcome ego and self interest and unite as a Nation.

As a single, united and strong Nation no one can impose their will upon us. We face a ruthless enemy; indeed our own history and history of Bangladesh is testimony to the ruthless nature of our oppressor. Army can defeat armies and organisations but it can never defeat a Nation.

The international companies are making a lot of investments in the Baluch resources. We the Baluch think it a theft and we have all the right as the sons of the soil to oppose this kind of theft and we will defend our resources’ at all costs. The international community is informed that we the Baluch are NOT obliged to honour any deal made with the oppressors. As we the Baluch are the owner of these resources

We are not against investment; on the contrary, we welcome international investment in a free environment in which the Baluch nation and the Baluch benefit. We realise that we have to live in a global community. We hope to do as an independent sovereign people and nation. We all attending will make it possible today inshallah and this is going to be the beginning of a new dawn for the Baluch nation.

Iran will execute Malik Regi, UN should intervene to save him: Baloch Bar

Quetta: Central spokesman of Baloch Bar association has said Baloch rebel leader Malik Regi’s life was in danger in Iran’s custody; the UN should play their role to save his life. They said Iran has already executed several Baloch activists including Ghulam Hyder Raisani, Hameed Regi and Yaqoob Mehrnihad and they feared that Abdul Malik Regi will also be executed if the UN did not intervene.

They said Baloch people from Pakistan’s occupied Balochistan support the freedom struggle of the Baloch people in Iranian occupied Balochistan. Iran and Pakistan view the Baloch as their enemy and in 1973 they jointly acted against Baloch freedom struggle in Pakistan occupied Balochistan. Iran has supplied gunship helicopters and pilots to Pakistan to murder innocent Baloch women and children in Kohistan Marri and other areas in Balochistan [Pakistan occupied].

The Baloch lawyers said that Baloch freedom seeking leaders should play their role for the release of Abdul Malik Regi. The two states have already murder Babo Nauroz Khan, Prince Abdul Karim Khan, Mir Safar Khan, Nawab Akbar Bugti, Mir Balaach Marri, Ghulam Mohammad Baloch, Dr Khalid Baloch, Mir Dost Mohammad Baloch, Mir Dad Shah Baloch, Rahim Zardkohi Baloch, Jumma Khan Baloch, Abdul Hameed Regi, Ghulam Hyder Raisani Baloch and thousands of other Baloch women and children.

They reiterated that such brutal acts cannot break the Baloch will for Independence; in fact such acts further provoke Baloch people and confirm their concerned regarding dishonesty and deceptions of these occupying states. The Baloch Bar Association urged that Baloch from Kulachi, Koh-e-Suleman, Hilmand and Zabul should get united and struggle the independence of Balochistan.

In the end they demanded the release of all Baloch prisoners including Abdul Malik Regi and other thousands of Baloch forced-disappeared persons. They vowed that Baloch National struggle cannot be deterred by such harrowing acts of these repressive states.
