Hello qsaark: How can you expect help from Indians who cannot even give rights to their own citizens, otherwise there would not be 26 separatist movements in India. I was room mate in college with 3 different Sikh students and all 3 did not want to be India, but that is an issue the Indians need to sort with their country men.
My Brother, listen to me.
First of all I am not here to bag some help from the Indians. Why am I here? Was joining an Indian forum my first choice? I did not even know that a forum named DFI exists just a few weeks ago. My first choice was to join a Pakistani forum and accordingly I joined one and than few more. Initially the forum was pretty tolerant and would allow to air your thoughts on certain matters as long as you can back your claims up with sufficient references, which by the way I always did. Later on, it gradually got hijacked by the so-called MPs and went to a level where no one was allowed to speak a word against the Dictators or the Army. Now, whether we like it or not, Army has directly ruled Pakistan for more than 35 years, and indirectly for the rest of the time. Whenever we will discuss the history of Pakistan, we would discuss the role of the military regimes and the things they did to Pakistan. Again, whether we hate it, but Pakistan’s history can not be discussed without bringing the military regimes into it.
Is there a doubt that Isaknder, Ayub, Yahya, Zia and Musharraf were dictators? Yet it is not allowed to use the wiord ‘dictator’ on the Pakistani fora. Why is that so? A politician can be called ‘Takla’, ‘corrupt’, ‘Mr 10%’, ‘Corruption King’, ‘Corruption Queen’ etc, but a Dictator can not be called a Dictator. What kind of freedom of speech is this? Is there any doubt that Isaknder, Ayub, Yahya, and Musharraf are drunkards? Is there any doubt that Yahya, Niazi, Gul Hasan, and Tikka were womanizers? Why this can not b said? All the freedom of speech is there only to sling the mud on the civilians?
Than comes this Balochistan issue. I was born in Balochistan, and I am proud of it. I have always said Pakistan Zindabad, Balochistan Paindabad. I never said that Balochistan should secede from Pakistan, never once I said this. However, it is my right as a Balochistan resident to talk about the problems of my province. It is my rights to clear up the confusion that the problem we see in Balochistan have more to do with the attitude of the Islamabad and HGQ and less with the Sardars. Sardars are Sardars, they are feudal. Baloch Sardars are not any better than the Punjabi Maliks, or Sindhi Waderas, or Srhad’s Khans, but they are not any worst as well. Putting all the blame on Sradars in nothing but a deliberate attempt of spreading dis-information.
I just want to tell the people that the Baloch Sardars are not traitors as Army and the GoP is trying to tell the masses. They are as much patriotic as are the others. However, they have the right to protests when they see their people are not getting the fare share. Instead of listening to their protest, we quickly label them with the word ‘traitor’. What nonsense is this? I have been given infractions over infractions and threatened not to talk about the Balochistan issue because as per their able opinion I was supporting a banned outfit. Banned outfit by whom? Was it a decision of the Court of Law? Only because the GHQ declared a political party a banned outfit, it becomes a banned outfit? The Army personnel are oppressing Baloch, and their Sardar should not speak a word about this? Dr. Shazia was raped by Captain Hammad, and when Sardar Bugti demanded a full investigation, he was called a ‘traitor’. Are we living in a Jungle or what?
Look this a a fine example of what happens and how it happens. I am not allowed to talk about the oppression in Balochsitan on Pakistani fora. So I was left with no choice but to go to some place where I can speak. I came to this forum. It was not that the DFI had ever invited me. Several of their members are active in the Pakistani for a, and they knew my tendencies and that I was extremely vocal for the rights of my people and my province.
Yet, none of them ever invited me to join their forum just so that I could sling as much mud on Pakistan. I was only invited after they learnt that my voice was being suppressed unjustly and that I was banned. Now from my personal experience, I have realized why Mujib ur Rahman turned to India for help. If he was allowed to keep expressing his concerns, if the mandate of the Bengalis was accepted, if Mujib and his party was allowed to form a Government, India could have done nothing. So, don’t blame India, blame yourself for giving a golden opportunity to your adversary.
Lastly, I do not talk about the separatist movements currently going on in India. The reason for that is, I am not standing on high moral grounds. In my own country, I have separatist movements in all three smaller provinces. They are more pronounced in Balochistan, but exist in Sindh and PashtoonKhwa as well. All three provinces are fed up of the Punjabi dominance and the unjust that is being done to them by one province in the name of majority. I also do not talk about Kashmir because it is another case of the stupidity of highest magnitude on behalf of the several Pakistani Governments. I am asked by several members to start a thread on this, and I sure will but not until I get some free time.
I hope now things are clear to you why I am here and why I talk about something and avoid talking about the others.
