Prologue
The ancestral homeland of the Baloch people is called Balochistan, yet today
the Baloch are not the masters of their own country. A series of calamitous
events - not least the imperialist wars of conquest in the nineteenth and
twentieth centuries - have distorted Balochistan’s natural development and
have prevented the Baloch people from determining their own future.
A defining point in the history of Balochistan, however, was in 1666 when
different Baloch confederacies were unified and brought under a single
Baloch national state. Following from this moment of national unity, the
Baloch nation established reciprocal diplomatic relations with their
neighbours and beyond.  ... Read more »

Mir Hazar Khan Ramkani Marri is son of Mukhadam Gula Khan Marri. Gula Khan was the traditional head of the Ramkani section of the Bijarani branch of Marris. The Marris are divided into three main sections, the Gazainis, the Bijaranis and the Loharanis. Each of these sections is then divided into sub-sections.

The Sardars of the tribes historically was rotatory and elections were held between different tribes Mukhadams for sardari, it became part of Gazaini section after the intervention of the British, even after this the Marri tribe is of democratic structure the Sardar is the first among equals. Each Marri tribesman has a standing and a voice in Marri society. The Sardar or the clan chief cannot and will not ever insult a Marri and it is because of this mutual respect the loyalties of a Marri to his Sardar or clan leader is phenomenal.

The Ramkani Marris live in central Marri area of Tadri, a rugged area with good grazing grounds and man-made terraces for farming. They are like all tribesmen simple and hardworking. Gula Khan was son of Alo Khan who was son of Lal Khan. His uncle Inamo, a brave man, carried scars on his face of a hand to hand fight with a mountain leopard in his youth.

By: Dr. Jumma Marri Baloch

Most honorable thing for a person to do is to serve ones nation and people selflessly. We fully and confidently believe that, that day is not far when we Baloch people will be liberated through our gallant struggle and form a country which will be dedicated to the service of Baloch nation and humanity.

GENERAL Balochistan is under attack from all sides. Pakistan and Iran have consistently worked to enslave the Baloch nation so that they can easily exploit the mineral wealth and also accommodate their populations in vast areas of Balochistan. They have deprived Baloch people of all opportunities to live a respectable life but then what else can be expected of enemies. They have kept Baloch economically destitute and deprived them of education as well. The Baloch need to be masters of their destiny and for this they must find common grounds among different sections of Baloch Society to proceed towards Liberation. The very survival of Baloch race is at stake, we have to rise above petty differences for the sake of Baloch people. For if we fail to unite at this critical juncture of Baloch history it will be an unpardonable crime. ... Read more »

Balochistan and Baloch

"Balochistan" means the land of the Baloch. It is located on the south-eastern Iranian plateau between the Indian sub-continent and Central Asia. Balochistan is divided politically between Pakistan, Iran and Afghanistan. 

The Anglo-Iranian border commission gave a large portion of south-western Balochistan to Iran in 1871 and to Afghanistan in 1895. The rest was part of British India, and as such was incorporated into the newly independent Pakistan after partition in 1947. Ignoring present-day political boundaries, Balochistan would cover approximately 225 000 square miles. It supports a population of about six million (1996).

It is an arid, harsh land with rugged terrain, ranging from steppe to desert, intersected by many mountain ranges. There are few permanent sources of water as rainfall is very low. Most rivers are seasonal, being fed by floodwater and the melted snow from the mountains.  ... Read more »

China Pakistan Economical Corridor (CPEC) is an existential threat to Baloch national sovereignty and future destination, within few years after the completion of this criminal project Baloch will be outnumbered by Punjabis and Chinese off course by other nationalities from the region and around the world, Baloch will lose everything keeping in mind the Sui and other such mega projects which became a curse to Baloch instead of blessings.

Pakistan as a country, we refrain from calling it a nation because it was never a nation and will never be a nation as nations are not doctored but come into being naturally, has stumbled from crisis to crisis from the day one. All its wounds grievous or non- grievous have  been self-inflicted and to make the matters worse there never has been any critical assessment of the follies committed because the rulers have been satisfied that there have no mistakes on their part and only foreign conspiracies have been responsible for their woes. Wherever such mindset prevails all hope for justice and reform is lost.  ... Read more »
