Dr. Allah Nazar Baloch

Dr. Allah Nazar a great leader of
Baloch nation the son of Nabi Bukhsh
Baloch ,he was born on 2nd October
1968 in a remote area of
Awaran ,called Mehi , Mashkay and in
1979, he sought admission in his home town Mehi,Mshkay,
Awaran,after graduation from high
school in 1986, he went to Kech
Turbat. For higher education in 1987
he took admission in medical
department of Atta Shad Degree College .He passed F.Sc (pre-medical)
in 1989. It is not denyin the fact that
he is smart and honest in his goals.
Due to his hard work,1992 he secured
a medical seat in Bolan Medical
College Quetta. It was here that he got a gold medal in Gynecology in
1999. Dr. Baloch is sincere with his
objective. In the period of his studies ,
he observed the deprivation and
backwardness of Baloch nation and
Baloch Land. Initially, he hated Pakistan because he was conscious of
the discrimination of Pakistani
establishment with Baloch. He
wanted to evacuate Baloch students
from loss and danger. He had joined B
S O in 1989 when he was in Atta Shad College Kech. He remained the unit
secretary there. In Quetta he started a
new struggle for bringing B S O on its
own feet. In that time B S O was
utterly a pocket organization and was
divided more than three groups. Fortunately, his association with
students got strengthen day by day. It
was a tactful situation for him. He slowly became popular among the
members of B S O throughout
Balochistan, it was an immense
concern for the political parties, who
used B S O for their personal interests.
His intention was to unite Baloch students and have a change. To some
extent he succeeded doing so. The
ambition of him was clear, as he
sacrificed all his personal interests for
the freedom of Balochistan. He sorted
out all the confusions of the coming Baloch generations. Latter all resorted
to Allah Nezar’s strategy. He did a great job in 2002 when he
found B S O (azad). Soon after he was
arrested, but released after a long
hunger strike held by students.
Unfortunately on 25th March 2005
once again he was picked up by Pakistani intelligence agencies with
other six comrades and he was
released on 20th June 2006 by ATF
after a defective mental and physical
torture. It is evident in the history
that Pakistan has not considered Baloch, as a human being and
Balochistan as her part. Dr.Allah Nazar Baloch has faced and
facing all challenges of autocrats and
bloodthirsty regimes. Punjabis had
tried their best to obscure their
cruelty with Baloch ,but today world
is aware of that. If we have a glance on erst,then we can find different
sorts of cruelty on Baloch people.
Therefore today Allah Nezar has a
strong stand against Pakistan. The
ramp up incursions brought a change
for the young Baloch about which Pakistan is worried . Dr. Allah Nazar is
eliminating obstacles from his way of
freedom. “My visionary and
revolutionary friends, won’t celebrate
sorrows on my martyrdom, pick up
my fallen gun and protect my vision and thought, compete with the
enemy, till victory (freedom)” ,said
Allah Nazar. Panjabi sojourn has
ruined our culture, and contained
Baloch to accept Pakistan. Now, it’s
too late. Every Baloch descendent is ready to take arms, burn the flag of
Pakistan and deny to read Pakistani
national anthem in schools. The
Baloch conspiracy is going to have a
good result soon in future. The great leader and Senior vice
Chairman of B S O (azad) Zakir Majeed
Baloch said,” some people lived for
death, some died for living, those
who died for a prime aim can never
die.” The Baloch tormenters are extremely baying but it is too late for
them. The existentialism took place in
Balochistan by whom? Everyone is
aware of that. Allah Nazar is the first
messenger of revolution. It’s a great
achievement of Baloch, that today a gold medalist is fighting in the
mountains. The immense
achievement brings a fruitful result in
Baloch revolution in future. Thus, today Baloch off springs had
acquired a lot from Dr. Balch’s way of
struggle. The crack down on B S O
(azad) indicates that Pakistan is
losing the battle. Baloch rebellions can
surrunder,when Balochistan gets freedom. Students are following Allah
Nazar’s chosen path. He was a legend,
is a legend and will be legend.

Mastung city

Mastung used to be a sub-division of Kalat district. Due to administrative reasons, it was separated from Kalat in July 1991 and was given the status of a district. From 18 February 1992 Mastung has functioned as a separate district. The district derives its name from the locality Mastung. According to locals “Mastung” is made up of two words Mas and Tung. In Brahvi language Mas means mountain and Tung means hole. Mastung is situated at the bottom of Lack pass. When someone crosses the Lack Pass from Quetta, before entering into Mastung city, he feels that he is passing through a hole. Mastung was given another name (Khudabad) by Ahmedzai Khan but it was
never popular. The district Mastung consists of two sub-divisions: Mastung and Kardgap. There are four tehsils: Mastung, Dasht, Kardgap and Khad Kucha. The district is divided into 13 Patwar circles and 280 Muzas. Pre-colonial History Little is known of the history of Mastung up to 977 AD, i.e. before the conquest of Balochistan by Mahmood Ghaznavi. History reveals that Muslim rulers ruled Balochistan from about the 7th century onward. It is likely that the Sewas, who belonged to the Rai-dynasty of Sindh, were ruling the Kalat State before the 7th century. It is most likely that the Sewas may have obtained the possession of Kalat after the
fall of Sultan Feroz Dhoh of Delhi. The Sewas were Hindus who were deprived of power in Sindh about the middle of the
15th century. Between 1530 and 1545 Mastung was part of Kandahar Sarkar which at that time was under the rule of Kamran Khan. It was in the summer of 1543 that Emperor Humayyun on his retreat from India came to Mastung via Sibi. He camped in a garden close to Mastung (Pringabad). Humayyun had to leave his son Akbar, who was only one year old, in Pringabad and escaped with his party via Nushki to Garmsel and Herat (Afghanistan). On Humayyun’s return, two years later, Kandahar again came under his rule. Between 1556-1595 Kandahar and its dependencies remained under the Safavid dynasty and later it was again acquired by the Mughals. During the period of Mughal emperor Akbar, Mastung was a part of the eastern division of Kandahar Sarkar. The Ain-I-Akbari (Akbari Law) mentions Mastung as having a mud fort and paying an annual revenue of 10 Tumans and 8,000 Dinars in money and 470 Kharwars in grain, and as furnishing a contingent of 100 horses and 500 foot. The decay of the Mughal power coincides with the rise of the Brahuis to a position of near independence. This state of affairs remained for twelve generations till the rise of Mir Ahmed who ruled from 1695 to 1696. At this time, Mastung was the capital of Kalat state and was under Nadir Shah who used to appoint the Khan. In 1736, he appointed Mir Muhabat as Khan of Kalat. Ahmed Shah Abdali was the successor of Nadir Shah. Ahmed Shah Abdali despatched a force against Mastung in 1749. Mir Muhabat was defeated. Mir Nasir Khan was nominated in his place. From that time till
1839 Khanship remained in the younger branch of the family. Nasir Khan ruled for 44 years from 1750 to 1794 and is the historical hero of the Brahuis. He is known as “The Great”. During his reign he rendered much assistance to Ahmed Shah in his numerous expeditions to Persia and India. Ahmed Shah bestowed Quetta, Mastung, Harrand and Dajal on Nasir Khan “The Great”. In 1839 when Mehrab Khan was Khan of Kalat, the British army attacked and took Kalat. In 1854 a first treaty was signed between the Khan and the British. The British received some concessions, including permission to build railway and telegraph lines through Kalat territory. This situation prevailed till the partition of the sub-continent. The Khan of Kalat announced to merge his state with Pakistan and in 1958 Kalat state was incorporated in Pakistan. Since then, Kalat and Mastung are parts of Balochistan.

The ancient city Chaghi

The district derives its name from “Chagai” a village on the western border of the Lora Hamun. The legend attributes the origin of the name to the numerous wells (Chahas) which are said to have formerly existed in the vicinity. Very little is known about the ancient history of Chagai. The earliest monuments are the ruins of terraced embankments. These are found at the foot of the Ras-Koh hills; they are ascribed to the fire-worshippers, who are
said to have been the inhabitants of this area more than two thousand years ago. The next traces of ancient history are the square shaped tombs in the western areas of the district, which are attributed by the local traditions to the Kianian dynasty of Iran. The remains of the ruined forts and karezes found in different parts of the district are assigned to the Arabs. These are also sometimes attributed to the Mughals and in any case indicate the presence of a richer civilisation than is now found among the Baloch and Brahvi inhabitants of the district. The Baloch are perhaps the oldest inhabitants of the district, who according to themselves migrated from Aleppo. The Brahvis, about whose origin there are different theories, must have moved towards the north from their original home in Kalat District and settled down in pockets with a major concentration in the Nushki area. Both the Brahvi and Baloch appear to have been firmly established in the beginning of the 16th century, as is seen from a narrative of the
flight of the Mughal Emperor Hamayun along the valley of the Hilman to Seistan in 1543. From the middle to the end of the 16th century, the district remained under the rule of the Safavid dynasty. Later it appears in history as part of the Mughal Empire and with the downfall of the Mughal power, the northern portion of the Nushki was annexed to the territories of Khan of Kalat, Mir Abdullah Khan (1716 - 1730). In 1733 Sher Khan the Baloch, Chief of Nushki, submitted to Mir Hassan, the second son of Mir Wais and the founder of the Ghilzai dynasty. Mir Hassan ruled the adjacent Pathan area now forming Quetta and Pishin districts, and compelled the Baloch and Brahvi tribes to tender their allegiance to. A few years later, Nadir Shah sent an expedition against Nushki under Muhammad Ali Beg, who inflicted a severe defeat on the Baloch near Shorawak. In 1740 Nadir Shah conferred Nushki as a fief upon the chief of Kharan. Later it was retaken by Mir Nasir Khan, the great Brahvi ruler (1750-1793) and Nushki became a Niabat of the then Kalat State and remained so for about a century. The advent of the British in this area commenced with the British agreement of 1878 with the Khan of Kalat. Subsequently as a result of the partial survey and definitions of the western boundary with Iran from Kuhak to Koh-i- Malik Siah and demarcation of the Afghan
Baloch boundary in 1896, the western Sanjrani (present Dalbandin sub-division and Nokkundi Tehsil) became part of Kalat State. In November, 1896 the first British Political Agent of Chagai was appointed. Nushki continued to be Niabat to Kalat State. Three years later, however
the Niabat of Nushki was leased by the British from the Khan on an annual rent of Rs. 9,000. The management of the Niabat was handed over on the 1st July, 1899 to the British Government. This was done with giving all the rights and privileges, as well as full and exclusive revenue, civil and criminal jurisdiction, including all rights to levy dues and tolls. From July, 1899 to the 13th August, 1947 the district remained under the British Government. After independence in 1947 and after the declaration of Balochistan as a province in 1970, Chagai became a district within Quetta Division The only features of archaeological interest in the district are the remains of ancient forts, karezes, dams and cupolas. Their history is not known and they are ascribed by the inhabitants indiscriminately to either the Arabs or the Mughals. In Dalbandin Tehsil there are ruins of several cupolas in the neighbourhood of Padag and Zarala. There are several well known shrines in the district. The most important of these are the shrines of Sayyad Bala Nosh near Chagai and that of Sher Jan Agha near Keshingi. The other shrines are of Pir Sultan, Sheikh Hussain, Sayyad Khawaja Ahmad, etc. The Ziarat Ghaibi, Zinda Pir and Chil Ghazi situated in the Nushki Tehsil are also quite famous
