We fought and defeated the Mangols, Greeks, Portuguese, British and now we are fighting Pakistan and Iran. No one succeeded in enslaving us or occupying our country and no one can be because Baloch keeps defense of motherland, culture, and Baloch nation as the first priority, more important than their own life. Mongols conquered a huge part of Asia. There army was thought undefeatable but they cou
ld not conquered Balochistan. Memories of that fight are saved in a cave in Pandran near Kalat. Sikandar and his Greek army invaded almost the world but after a fierce fight back from Baloch warriors he had to leave Balochistan, our water was indigestible for him he got very sick and left Balochistan and went back to Greece. In fifteenth century European nations were busy in occupying and looting different parts of the world like America Australia Canada Africa and India. Balochistan was also their target. Portuguese navy attacked on the Balochistan’s coastal cities of Pasni and Gwadar in the leadership of Vasco da gama. Baloch fought with them in leadership of Chief Mir Hammal Jiand Hote and defeated them, arms of Portuguese army snatched by Baloch are still kept in Pasni and one of their cannon is still in Gwadar. The famous series of seven caves of Mir Hammal in the mountain of Battail Gwadar is an astonishing architecture as one enters in the first cave in the base of the mountain it opens in the second cave it seems you are going downward, sequence of these seven caves one by one ends in the last seventh cave that opens on the top of the Mount Battail that gives a shocking surprise that only few minutes of walking deep in the caves one after one downwards, end on the top. The top of Mount Battail is a huge fertile plat farm, here clean water to drink and agriculture is available that served as a safe bunker mount with enough food and water for Baloch to fight for the defense of their country from invading Portuguese armies. As admiration of bravery and superior war strategies Portuguese made a statue of Mir Hammal Jiand it is still in the Museum of Goa in India. In late nineteenth century British almost conquered Bengal and India till Punjab but attack on Balochistan gave them an opposite answer. Marri Baloch fought them at Nafask Kahan defeated British army who left behind there dead bodies and three cannons. Another historical defeat was given to British General Dire in the mountains and valleys of Taftan by great Balochs and their chiefs Mir Shahsawar, Sardar Khalil Khan, Sardar Jiand Khan by united armies of Gamshadzai, Ismailzai, Yar Mohammadzai and Reki Balochs. British General had to leave the fort of Ladiz, Khwash, Rabat, Mir Jawa, Nusratabad and Kachav. British spent thirty years to pe*****te in Baloch tribes to instigate tribal conflicts by their spies and agents, they succeeded to break our brotherhood and historical unity and a civil war started in Balochistan then British attacked Balochistan again but this time with the support of many Baloch sardars. Baloch King Mir Mehrab Khan fought till last breath along with his companions and martyred. British contacted to the next King of Balochistan called Khan e Kalat to take some strategic areas on lease or rent that links Punjab to Afghanistan. Khan’s weakened position made him to agree against his and Baloch nation’s will. British signed a number of contracts with Baloch king Khan Khudaidad and took some important strategic areas on lease from him including Shaal (Quetta), Bolan, joined it with the southern part of Afghanistan including Pishin, Chaman, Zhobe occupied by British in the second Afghan war and named this joint Baloch-Pakhtoon area as British Balochistan. As British colonial power made roots deeper in the region they succeeded in dividing Balochistan into four parts; Central part of Balochistan was the only Baloch free country under the rule of Baloch king, Western Balochistan {Kambaran (Bandar Abbass), Chabahar, Pahra, Dozzan (Zahedan)}, was separated by Goldsmith line as a result of declaration of Bompoor conference between Baloch, Gajar (Iran) and British Empire on 1st Dec 1869. Northern part (Nimroz, Hilmund, Rek, Shorawak, Ghoriyaan, kohsaan, gulraan, kalata, pusht e koh) was separated by Durand line and given by the British imperial forces to Afghanistan
under the Anglo-Afghan boundary commission decision in 1896 as bribe to prevent these countries to lobby with Russia or Germany. The eastern part [Derajat, Khan garh (Jaccobabad) Karachi] was taken on lease and included in British India, Eastern Balochistan and British Balochistan was occupied by Pakistan in 1947. On March 27, 1948 Pakistan army invaded
Central Balochistan the last independent part of Balochistan; they arrested the King Khan Ahmad Yar Khan and looted all the royal treasures. Pakistan and Iran are crushing Baloch by war crimes, including chemical weapons, cluster bombardment on unarmed civilians, poisoning water resources, extra-judicial arrest, torture, killings and public hangings. 14000 Balochs including women and children are missing and thousands of families displaced from homeland that are living in worst health security and livelihood conditions. Balochs have a history of resistance against any attempt to contain its sovereignty.
