Balochistan consumes enemies. As I look today at the line history of Baloch and Balochistan, I clearly can see that all the conquerors and dictators who captured Balochistan and used excessive forces regarding the Baloch, became the victims of their own atrocities. Balochistan has some miraculous manifestations. These manifestations elevate those who do good to Baloch and Balochistan to high positions and eliminate those who do bad things to Baloch and Balochistan.
This seems to be repeated again and again in the history of the region. It is almost a historical pattern. The first evidence that has been documented is those of Sassani kings before Islam. The last few kings of Sassani used excessive forces against the Baloch and Balochistan. Ferdousi has documented these atrocities in the Book of Kings as they were committed in Balochistan.
He narrates that on one occasion, the Sassani forces attacked Hamoun, the centre of Balochistan and killed so many Baloch that farms and flock of sheep and goats were left with farmers and shepherds. Few years later, the Arabs invaded Iran and eliminated the Sassanian kings and Dynasty. Sultan Mahmood Ghaznawi was another king who massacred a large number of the Baloch people in Balochistan.
Just after that he died and his two sons started a war that ended in the demise of their Dynasty. Nassereddin Shah Qajar committed unbelievable crimes in Balochistan by taking women and children instead of taxes that they couldn't pay.
That was a year that followed many years of famine in Balochistan. The tax collectors of Nassereddin Shah were so cruel that when they realised that people could not pay their taxes they arrested women and children to sell them as slaves.
Few years later Nassereddin Shah was killed. Zulfikar Ali Bhutto dissolved Balochistan's parliament in 1973, arrested Baloch leaders and a Civil War began in Balochistan in which thousands of Baloch were killed and injured. Bhutto used the army to suppress the Baloch people. The same commander of the army that used to suppress the Baloch people, arranged a coup against Bhutto, arrested him and hanged him later.
Without looking at the history of Balochistan, Gen Musharraf used the same tactic of Zulfikar Ali Bhutto. Musharraf killed hundreds of Baloch people, kidnapped thousands of them, displaced thousands of Baloch from their homes and lands, and killed Baloch leadear Akbar Khan Bugti. Today he is facing the fate of his predecessors.
As I think more about Baloch and Balochistan I see a great sense of innocence in the people and in the land. This great sense of innocence manifests itself in their demands for justice and when the dictators eliminate the seekers of justice, somehow justice finds its own way and gets them. So far nobody has escaped from this expansive sense of innocence. It is just like a miracle. Those who kill the Baloch get killed by others.
The amazing element is that the killers of Baloch and destroyers of Balochistan get killed and destroyed not by the Baloch but by other sources and forces. It is as if there is a higher source of justice in this universe that has its special attention to that region with innocent people that punishes those who commit crimes in Balochistan.
Innocence is seeking innocence. Justice is seeking justice. Fairness is seeking fairness. Equality is looking for equality. When innocence is seeking innocence and a criminal gets on its way, somehow innocence acts as a living conception and consumes criminals. When justice is seeking justice and some dictators get on its way, somehow justice turns into a living matter, finds the dictators and eliminates them.
When equality is looking for equality and a discriminator gets on its way, somehow the concept of equality transforms itself into material forces and consumes the discriminator. The great humanitarian qualities of the Baloch people so far have been able to save the Baloch from different devastating dangers.
These great humanitarian qualities are still operating in Balochistan. They will save Balochistan and Baloch people in future too. Nobody will dare to begin to eliminate the Baloch people until and unless he arranges his own end and his own elimination.
The Baloch people and the sense of justice they are looking for will not be eliminated but those who want to destroy the seekers of justice have been eliminated in the past and they will be eliminated the in the future .This is a great warning. If you seek to kill a Baloch, you will be killed.
