Baloch-Hindustan civilizational bonds remembered in the wake of Baloch's Second War of Independence
Press Statement, September 3, 2006
Every Baloch knows that his ancestors were of Hindu, Bauddha, Jaina or Zoroastrian traditions and even earlier maritime traditions which extended from Tigris-Euphrates to the Mekong delta in South-east Asia during the days of contact between Mesopotamia and what cuneiform texts refer to as Meluhha. The language of Baloch is cognate with Mleccha (Meluhha) which was the ancient spoken dialect of the region extending from Gandhara (Kandahar) to Bangkok, during the days of Mahabharata. Yudhishtira, Vidura and miner Khanaka (cognage: Khan!) spoke in mleccha according to the Great Epic. The bonds between Hindu and Baloch ante-date the formation of Pakistan by the British colonial regime which continued its policy of divide and rule even while quitting the region and giving 'truncated independence' and certainly ante-date Islamism and Christism. The Baloch people have never accepted their being part of Pakistan and have been fighting for nearly 60 years to achieve true independence for Balochistan.
Baloch is a region rich in natural resources and the Balochi people have been exploited by the anti-people regimes of Jihadistan (Pakistan) in collaboration with China.
Baloch should say NO to Jihadi terror and return home. Many Balochi ancestors were converted to Islam during days of mediaeval barbarism. Now that Baloch has understood what the consequences of being part of Jihadistan are, it is time to re-assert the Balochi national identity and true cultural identity related to what Gautama the Buddha called esha dhammo sanantano, this sanatana dharma which treats the entire globe as one family and which does not spread hatred and violence.
The intolerable situation created by the martyrdom of Nawab Akbar Khan Bugti should help Balochi to rethink their adherance to a false belief system which was forced upon their ancestors and to return to the fold of civil global society. In these testing times, all Hindu everywhere will support the fight of the Balochi people to realize their true national identity and cherish their cultural traditions which date back to at least 5000 years Before Present, to the days of Mesopotamian-Sarasvati Civilizations.
All Hindu will welcome Balochi as partners in dharma and as free participants in a true confederation of an Indian Ocean Community based on dharma. Say NO to dictatorship of Jihadistan and return home to Sanatana Dharma.
The martyrdom of Akbar Khan Bugti should reinforce the responsibility of the people of Hindustan to support the Baloch people in this hour of need and in support for their freedom struggle, freedom from an oppressive regime. Hindustan has been the beacon of hope for all freedom-fighters and the role played by Baloch in achieving freedom from the colonial rule should be hailed by all people of the region who are opposed to the hegemonical interventions. The colonial regime forced Balochistan into what was then in 1947 called Pakistan while the demand of the Baloch people was for independence. Hindu people everywhere have to support Baloch people in their 60-year old freedom struggle against the Pakistani army and the earlier centuries-old freedom struggle against a colonial regime. Hopefully, measures should be put in place to facilitate cultural exchanges among the people of Balochistan and Hindustan recognizing the millennial civilizational bonds of contacts and maritime relationships.
