JANAZA OF WALI KHAN
ADRESSING

Pushtoon nation between Oxus and Indus is at a critical juncture of its history. Three decades of war in Afghanistan has literally devastated the infrastructure in Afghanistan and more than 3 million Afghans are living as refugees in neighboring Pakistan and Iran.

Due to the vital geo-strategic position of Afghanistan, the western powers under the leadership of US are there to safeguard their vested interests in central and south Asia.

The Pushtoons living in Pakistan are facing extreme exploitation of their water and mineral resources due to the indifferent and discriminatory policies of all those who belong to the echelons of power in Pakistan. They have been used against their fellow Afghan brothers in the name of religion and the morally unjustified loyalty to all the regimes who have been in power in Pakistan.

While all that has been earned from the water and mineral resources of Pashtoons have been going to the pockets of the beaureocracy in Islamabad, the extreme injustice is that despite of all these sacrifices at the alter of Pakistan, the Pushtoons have been projected as fanatic, backward and ignorant nation and Pakistan has left no stones unturned to keep them geographically, politically divided and economically poor nation.

The major chunk of Pushtoon nation can be categorized into two main groups due to the current geographical division: Pushtoons of Afghanistan and Pushtoons of Pakistan.

The Pushtoons of Afghanistan are divided into two factions:

1) The religiously active and Pakistan backed Taliban who are fighting against the US and NATO forces and trying to take over the reigns of power and striving to implement their version of Islam.

2) The nationalist Pushtoons more concerned rather skeptic about their as well as future of Afghanistan due to the political turmoil and instability caused by the fight between the Taliban and the foreign forces and also internal ethnic differences between Pushtoon and non Pushtoon population.

On the other hand the Pushtoons of Pakistan are divided into five geographical units:

3) The politically active but practically passive divided Pushtoons of Pakistan living in NWFP,FATA,Balochistan,Eastren Punjab and Karachi who are not only divided but also confused about their future due to the pro-Punjab cum Mahajir beaureocracy ,biased institutions and a dictated constitution.

In the current geo-political scenario when Pushtoons and their resources are being exploited they have two options for their existence and survival.

a) Evolutionary approach

b) Revolutionary approach

In evolutionary approach Pushtoons have to develop themselves in their current geographical territories whether they are in Afghanistan or in Pakistan while the revolutionary approach dictates that all Pushtoons should strive for a separate Pushtoon nation state based on the tenets of Islam.

LAHORE: The leader of Awami National Party Asfand Yar Wli’s brother Sangeen Khan Wali died after long ailment here on Thursday.

The departed soul suffered from cancer and had been admitted to hospital few days ago in a critical condition.

Funeral prayers would be said at 6 pm at his native city Charsadda wali bagh.

The despicable Charsadda terrorist bombing of the ANP election rally snuffed out precious 27 lives, leaving scores of others gored. Heavens know how many women the evil deed left widowed, how many children it orphaned and how many extended families it deprived of their lone breadwinner, as did an earlier contemptible suicide bombing of ex-Interior Minister’s election gathering in the area, which felled at least 53 innocent people and wounded many more. Instantly, the thuggish act was denounced by all and sundry, as was the earlier one, as indeed the various terrorist assaults elsewhere in the country in these times, as vile attempts to sabotage the upcoming poll and to destabilise the polity. Surely, these are, unquestionably and doubtlessly. But there is more to the wickedness of the terrorists in this part of the country than meets the eye. It, arguably, is part a deeper conspiracy to divide up the Pakhtuns and set them at one another’s throat. Of course, the entire land is in the vile sweep of these evil savages. They have been assaulting now civilian and military targets alike, lethally and fatally wherever and whenever they want; and in one deadly attack they brutally killed PPP chairperson Benazir Bhutto and nearly three dozens of other innocents after her election rally in Rawalpindi. But the focal point of their thuggery is visibly the Pakhtun-dominated regions, especially in the NWFP where they have been not only slaughtering the innocent Pakhtuns with suicide assaults and remote-controlled bomb blasts but also blowing up their homes, schools, businesses and shops. Irrefutably, their sources of abetment, funding and arms lie outside the country, forming part of a grand conspiracy against the Pakhtuns, which is no lesser reflective from the painful reality that even as they themselves are the worst victims of terrorism they are being painted worldwide as terrorists. But the regret is that when the configuration of this conspiracy is so palpably evident there is no manifest realisation of it on the part of the Pakhtun leadership so as to put its act together to face up to this mischievous threat to their solidarity and cohesion . Instead, it remains embroiled in divisive squabbling and fracas. Political or miscellaneous differences come natural to a living community. A people sans diversity of views, thoughts and ideals are indeed a dud, stagnant and impotent community, which the Pakhtuns definitely are not. They are a people full of vigour, vitality and life. But a people with diversity but no unity among its ranks is a community on the way of decay, decadence and disintegration. This is the lesson of history, which the Pakhtun leadership across the spectrum should have imbibed zealously and voluminously but seems to have not at all. As the conspiracy to drive sharp wedges among the Pakhtuns and create unbridgeable schisms among them is blowing so furiously and so bloodily, this leadership shows up not even a slight sense of concern and unease. It keeps up with its own divisive ways puritanically. After the terrorist assault, the ANP has vowed not to deviate from Baacha Khan’s sublime principle of non-violence and to remain unflinchingly committed to peaceful struggle for attainment of its goals. This is good. Given the grave threat presently confronting the Pakhtuns to their solidarity and cohesion, this principle should now necessarily percolate down to all strands of Pakhtun political, intellectual and religious leadership. Had indeed this happened earlier, no outside powers would have dared to conspire against them and no natives would have ventured to become their agents. And the fanatics would have stood marginalised from their mainstream, not hogged the centre-stage as have they now, relegating even the religious leadership to coop up in safe havens for their own lives. If even now the Pakhtun leadership across the spectrum doesn’t create unity among its diversity, the community is surely in for more harrowing times. The unfolding conspiracy against the Pakhtuns is evidently very fierce, very ferocious and very vile; if this leadership doesn’t forestall it now, it will sweep the community, from one to all, to a destiny unknown but unmistakably grievous to all, without any exception. All must know this.

Peshawar derives its name from a Sanskrit word "Pushpapura" meaning the city of flowers. Peshawar’s flowers. Peshawar’s flowers were mentioned even in Moghal Emperor Babur's memoirs.
Alexander's legions and the southern wing of his army were held up here in 327 B.C. for forty days at a fort excavated recently, 27 1/2 kms (17 miles) north-east of Peshawar at Pushkalavati (lotus city) near Charsadda. The great Babur marched through historic Khyber Pass to conquer South Asia in 1526 and set up the Moghal Empire in the lndo-Pakistan sub-continent. The pass and the valley have resounded to the tramp of marching feet as successive armies hurtled down the crossroad of history, pathway of commerce, and migration arid invasion by Aryans. Scythians, Persians, Creeks. Bactrians, Kushans. Huns. Turks' Mongols and Moghals. And Peshawar is now, as always, very much a frontier town. The formalities of dress and manner give way here to a free and easy style, as men encounter men with a firm handclasp and a straight but friendly look. Hefty handsome men in baggy trousers arid long, loose shirts, wear bullet-studded bandoliers across their chests or pistols at their sides as a normal part of their dress. There is just that little touch of excitement and drama in the air that makes for a frontier land. An occasional salvo of gun fire-no, not a tribal raid or a skirmish in the streets hut a lively part of wedding celebrations. Remember we are in the land of the Pathans - a completely male -dominated society. North and south of Peshawar spreads the vast tribal area where lives the biggest tribal society in the world, and the most well-known, though much misrepresented, Pathans are faithful Muslims. Their heroes, like khushal Khan Khattak, the warrior-poet and Rebman Baba, have moulded their typical martial and religious character. A preacher and a poet of Pushto language. Today, they themselves guard the Pakistan-Afghanistan border along the great passes of the Khyber. The Tochi, the Gomal and others on Pakistan's territory, but before independence they successfully defied mighty empires, like the British and the Moghal and others before them, keeping the border simmering with commotion, and the flame of freedom proudly burning. Peshawar is the great Pathan city. And what a city! Hoary with age and the passage of twenty-five centuries, redolent with the smell of luscious fruit and roasted meat and tobacco smoke, placid and relaxed but pulsating with the rhythmic sound of craftsmen's hammers and horses' hooves, unhurried in its pedestrian pace and horse-carriage traffic, darkened with tall houses, narrow lanes and overhanging balconies, intimate, with its freely intermingling crowd of townsmen. Tribal, traders and tourists - this is old Peshawar the journey’s end or at least a long halt, for those traveling up north or coming down from the Middle East or Central Asia, now as centuries before when caravans unloaded in the many caravan ‘serais’ now lying deserted outside the dismantled city walls or used as garages by the modern caravans of far-ranging buses.

Political autonomy is the first pre-requisite for the progress and development of a nation. If we trace back the reasons for the underdevelopment of a nation all of them converge to one root cause and that is - the lack of political autonomy.All imperialist,exploitative,dictatorial,authoritarian and fascist governments convince and even compel the masses to help themselves in health, security , education and other basic human rights which are infact the primary responsibilities of every government. On the contrary they leave no stone unturned to continue their never ending thirst for loot and plunder of the national resources.

In third world countries even religious beliefs like determinism are used to pacify and convince the masses to content themselves to their existing resources and avoid raising voice for their rights and share in the resources of the country.

The main technique used by authoritarian governments to deprive masses from their legitimate rights and divert their attention from the real issues to virtual issues is the good old principle of “divide and rule” .This technique is used in the following forms:

1) Encouraging religious clashes and sectarianism.

2) Using state controlled electronic and print media and ads-dependent private media for false propaganda.

3) Using state sponsored terrorism to suppress or kill all those voices which are raised against the usurpers.

4) Hijacking, terrorising and even killing the second level and in some cases top leadership of anti-government groups and parties.

5) Engaging the masses by creating confusion and disappointment.

The demands of a disorganized mob have always been helping status quo while an organised and systematic demand based on a vision has been fruitful in history. In case of Pakhtuns, their indifferent attitude towards national problems due to poverty and their victimization by the state have been the main reasons of diverting their attention, diverging their energies, delusioning their goal and diluting their efforts.

Thanks to the media which is projecting the state sponsored drama in the tribal areas by Pak forces and war against terror by US that Pakhtuns are identifying their internal and external enemies viz military establishment , civil bureaucracy , pro-establishment parties and the US.

Private electronic media has contributed a lot to the political consciousness of Pakhtuns so much so that Pakistan government had to close Pashto programs on the national television and shift the segment of Pashto programs to another government channel which is only available via satellite and hence not accessible by the majority of Pakhtun masses.

The detonation of bombs by secret agencies in Pukhtunkhwa to create law and order situation and execution of a well thought plan to make ISI-backed talibanisation phenomenon synonymous with Pakhtun nationalism is in progress. The target of this effort is to pave the way for the ethnic cleansing of Pakhtuns first in the Pakhtun land and then all over Pakistan specially in the native city of General Musharaff who is inclined politically to US and ethnically to MQM both of whom are anti-Pashtun forces.

All the efforts of Musharraf are being focused on Pakhtun areas as it serves both the purposes of US as well as MQM.At the same time maligning of Pakhtuns by projecting Pakhtuns as extremists, inclined to terrorism and hence justified to be killed by the “Pak” forces alone without getting help from the US forces is understandable in the given context.

The provincial autonomy bill which is infact a bitter pill both for the dictatorial regime as well as for establishment has suddenly disappeared from the political scenarion.The combined force of the opposition and the credibility of the major parties have already been damaged as a result of a well thought plan.

The only threat to the Musharraf regime is from the Judiciary which is being pressurized again by Musharraf’s ethnic party - MQM in Karachi and to which a warning signal in the form of violation of SC ruling was sent on 10th September 2007 by deporting Nawaz Sharif.

Pakhtuns are destined to suffer more in the future both at the hands of local as well as foreign enemies if they do not realize the gravity of situation and get rid of the optimistic self deceit they are deeply engrossed in for the last 60 years.

The most they are going to get from the heirs of colonial masters is a name for the current NWFP province and some portfolios for the seasonal, opportunist, firangee loyal, Muslim league type black sheep elements among the Pakhtun nation. Obviously this palliative treatment is not going to solve the problems of Pakhtun nation whose very survival is at stake in Pakistan. Therefore the national interest of Pakhtuns in Pakistan lies in finding an answer to the question of political autonomy.

In my opinion Pakhtuns of Pakistan have three options:

a) To become a part of Afghanistan.

b) To establish a separate Pukhtoon state.

c) To remain a part of Pakistan but subject to the following conditions:

1. New Name for Pashtun province comprising of NWFP, FATA, PATA, Attock, Mianwali and Pakhtun belt of Balochistan into a single Pakhtun Province to be called Pushtoonkhwa.

2. Provincial autonomy.

3. Share of water along with its net profit and due proportion in the revenue of tobacco.

4. Establishment of new industrial estates in Pakhtun land and stabilization of the old ones like Gadun Amazai, Jamrud and Hattar industrial estates.

5. Change of strategic depth policy by military Establishment to destabilize Afghanistan.

6. Compensation for the loss in Pakhtun land which Pakistani military has incurred in playing its role as an obedient servant to United States.

There are precedents set for all three options in history for example the unification of east and west Germany, founding of Bangla Desh and provincial (state) autonomy to states in USA and India .Which option shall we opt for is to be decided by the masses and intelligentsia of Pakhtun nation.

After having a consensus on a national agenda for taking any of the above cited options in the larger interest of Pakhtun nation, the public will of Pashtun masses and intellectual support of Pakhtun intelligentsia will combine. It will be easy for the leadership of Pakhtuns to lead the Pakhtun masses to achieve the goal.

The following elements in the society will be decisive in molding public opinion in order to achieve national targets.

1) Intellegstia like Voltaire and Rousseau for French revolution of 1789, Marx, Engels, Trotsky and Ludwig Fuerbach for Bolshevik Revolution of 1917 etc.

2) Electronic media TV channels, cellular tech, internet etc.

3) Print Media focused on national goals.

4) Professionals like lawyers, doctors, engineers, journalists, professors, teachers etc.

5) Nationalist Leadership

Pakhtuns have resilient nature due to which they have passed the test of time and challenges of history and have survived as a nation. One of the reasons, why Pakhtuns have never been conquered in history is their resilient nature. These qualities of Pakhtuns have been inspiring them to fight for the right, resist foreign aggression and say no to dictation.

Pakhtuns have been role models against aggression and injustice for the nations of the world and history is a witness to this fact. The freedom struggle against the British rule in India, the defeat of the British in Afghanistan ,the defeat of Russian forces, the liberation of the current Azad Kashmir by Pakhtuns of Waziristan, the raising of voice against the massacre of Muslims in Indian Gujarat, refusal of Pakhtuns to say “Yes Sir” to the dictatorial regime of Musharaf ,raising voice against the massacre of innocent Pakhtuns by Pakistani agencies in Pakhtunkhwa and protest against the targeted killing of Pakhtuns by the terrorist network of MQM in Karachi are few examples from the recent past.

Despite of their glorious past, the Pakhtun nation between Oxus and Indus is at a critical juncture of its history.

Three decades of war has literally devastated the infrastructure in Afghanistan - the motherland of Pukhtoons. Pakistan is continuously trying to destabilize the elected government of Afghanistan using ISI – trained- Taliban within Afghanistan and aggravating the Pakhtuns living in Pakhtunkhwa against Afghan government by planting bombs in Pakhtunkhwa and putting the blame on Afghanistan. The religiously active and ISI-backed-Taliban in Afghanistan are fighting against the ISAF forces and trying to take over the reigns of power to implement their version of Islam which suits the vested interests of Pakistani establishment. On the contrary the common Pakhtuns in Afghanistan are suffering and are getting concerned about the future of Afghanistan due to the political turmoil and instability caused by the fight between the ISI-backed-Taliban and ISAF forces and also some internal ethnic differences between Pakhtun and non Pakhtun population.

Contrary to the fake and false statements of the so called officers of Pakistan Army, the agencies have been providing a safe haven to the terrorists of Al- Qaeeda in the cities of Punjab and Karachi while Mushharaf regime has been diverting the focus of the world community from sanctuaries of Al-Qaeeda terrorists in the cities of Punjab and Karachi and misleading the world community by pointing fingers to his political rivals - the Pakhtuns who have been refusing to accept his illegitimate regime. After the retrieval of top leaders of Al Qaeda in the past ,the world community including US should understand and get convinced that protecting Al-Qaeda in the cities of Punjab and Karachi is Pakistani strategy while Taliban despite of being involved in fight against ISAF in Afghanistan, is a multiethnic group having military experts from Pakistan Army and Intelligence agencies.

The politically active but practically passive divided Pakhtuns of Pakistan living in NWFP, FATA, Balochistan, Western Punjab (Attock and Mianwali) and Karachi are suffering economically as well as politically due to Pro-Punjab-Mahajir Civil and Military beoureocracy, biased institutions and a dictated constitution. The Pakhtuns of Pakhtunkhwa (NWFP, FATA and Pakhtun belt of Punjab and Balochistan) have been facing the indifferent and discriminatory policies of Pakistani establishment. They were used against their fellow Afghan brothers in the name of religion and were punished for not showing the unjustified loyalty to the dictatorial regimes that have been in power in Pakistan. All the revenue that has been earned from the water and mineral resources of Pashtoons have been going to the pockets of the Pakistani establishment for the last sixty years.

Despite of all these sacrifices of Pakhtuns at the altar of Pakistan, the extreme injustice is that Pakhtuns have been projected as fanatic and terrorists by the state-controlled media and are still intentionally kept backward and deprived of basic human rights. The Punjabi dominated establishment of Pakistan has left no stones unturned to keep Pakhtuns geo-politically divided, economically poor and deprived nation.

In the current geo-political scenario when the resources of Pakhtuns are being exploited by the Punjab dominated institutions in Pakistan, the only option Pakhtuns have for their existence and survival is political struggle to fight for their rights. The focus of the struggle for claiming the rights of Pakhtuns should be the following:

1) To reclaim and unite the Pakhtun majority areas of current “NWFP”, “FATA”, Pakhtun areas of Western Punjab like Attock & Mianwali and Pakhtun part of Balochistan (which constitutes more than 45 percent of Balochsitan) into a single united province which should be preferably called Pakhtunkhwa.

2) To claim complete provincial autonomy, royalty of all the natural resources including water along with its profit from WAPDA, natural gas and precious stone etc, limiting the federal responsibilities to few portfolios, effective devolution of powers from center to provinces and proportionate representation in all federal institutions.

3) To claim extra budget for education and development on priority and emergency basis for the deprived areas of Pakhtuns from federal government which has been enjoying all the aid, for the last three decades, that has been given by the world community for the development and rehabilitation of Pakhtuns but which has been used for killing Pakhtuns on both sides of the border.

The major problem of Pakhtuns is not the claim for name or identity of their province in a state which itself is suffering from identity crises due to having an alien language as its national language. The major issue of Pakhtuns is to put and end to the status quo on the historic injustice done to the Pukhton nation as a result of which their unity was torn apart and they were intentionally divided into different administrative units to prevent their united struggle for basic human rights including the right to govern their own land.

The history of nations is witness to the fact that blood is thicker than water. Though idealistic it might sound but it seems that the forces of history will compel Pakhtuns of Pakistan and Afghanistan to get rid of the controversial border dividing the Pakhtuns of Pakistan and Afghanistan. This would be a feasible solution for peace in south Asia because contrary to other nations of Pakistan, Pakhtuns are not Indians by origin and hence have no grudge, jealousy or rivalry either with the inhabitants of current India or those of current Pakistan.

The failure to have an Afghanistan without the current Pakhtuns of Pakistan would result in an unstable Afghanistan which would definitely affect Pakistan and South Asia because Pakhtuns can only die for Pakhtunwali or religion but never for a country whose army, establishment, terrorist groups and ethnic parties have been involved in killing their kins and are ever ready not to spare any other chance to repeat the same criminal role.

Due to the geo-strategic coordinates of Pakhun land as a gateway to south Asia, the expansionist designs of imperialist powers from Alexander to Babur played a catastrophic role in destabilizing Pakhtun land.Despite of lacking organised defense mechanism and military technology, Pakhtuns resisted all invaders and kept on fighting till they kicked their enemy out of their land.While Pakhtuns never invaded any nation or state, the imperialist powers never let them live in peace and work for the development and stability of their land. Pakhtuns suffered a lot due to their defensive policy and principle of non interference.

It was in 1747 that Ahmed Shah Baba, contrary to the defensive policy of Pakhtuns, adopted the policy of offence as a means of defense, to establish the first Afghan republic extending between central and south Asia.The secret behind the establishment of Afghan Empire under the leadership of Ahmed Shah Baba was that he gave a political vision and a national goal to the disintegrated and disillusioned Afghans. It was the struggle for the achievement of this goal which resulted in the unity of Afghan tribes. This historic achievement showed that the unity of Pakhtuns was the effect of a cause and not a cause in itself. It established the fact that no nation can be united without a goal.

National goal is the binding force for any nation hence the contemporary leadership of Pakhtuns should also set a clear national goal for the nation if the leadership is sincere to see the national unity of Pakhtuns. Let us analyse the strategy of the antagonist forces in Pakistan working against Pakhtuns in order to break their unity and prevent them from becoming ‘a power to reckon with’ on the map of the world.

1. Retaining the British administrative division of Pakhtunkhwa according to which Pukhtunkhwa was first separated from Afghanistan and was further subdivided into NWFP, FATA and Pakhtun belt of Attock, Mianwali, Dera Ghazi Khan and Balochistan.

2. Formation of Pro-Military and hence pro-Punjab constitution to safeguard the vested interests of Punjab.

3. Preventing the formation of popularly elected governments.

4. Intervention by military forces with the help of its agencies to pressurize the elected governments in case the elected governments want to do any legislation against the national interests of Punjab.

5. To topple the elected government if they dare to take any bold decision in the interests of masses against the will of the military forces.

6. To project the vested interests of Punjab and military forces synonymous with the national interests of Pakistan.

7. To deteriorate the law and order situation in Pakhtun regions by using military forces and its agencies to discourage investment and developmental work.

8. To compel the brain trust to migrate from the Pakhtun land so that Pakhtun land suffers from brain drain. The proof of the above cited fact is the continuous outflow and outsourcing of skilled human resource to Karachi, Middle East, Far East and Europe from Pakhtunkhwa and Afghanistan and the investment of Pakhtun businessmen and traders in the cities oft Rawalpindi, Islamabad, Lahore, Faisalabad and Karachi instead of investing in Pakhtun land.

9. Fabricating and catalyzing the differences between the Pakhtun and Non Pakhtun population of Afghanistan by infiltrating ISI agents into Taliban to fight against ISAF forces.

10. Projecting Taliban as the representative group of Pakhtuns so that the gulf of hatred could be inculcated between Pakhtun and ISAF forces on one side and between the Pakhtuns of Afghanistan and that of Pakistan on the other.

11. The operation of Military forces in FATA to support Taliban so they can hijack the tribal as well as settled areas of Pakhtunkhwa.

12. The support of Taliban by military forces from FATA region to back them up against the ISAF forces in Afghanistan and giving a wrong impression to the world that it is the Pakhtuns of the Tribal region who are responsible for supporting Taliban.

13. The hypocritical foreign policy of Pakistani establishment to talk about promoting mutual friendship and collaboration between Afghanistan and Pakistan and continuing military operations in the tribal areas of Pakhtunkhwa to make it a “no-go-area” for the common Pakhtuns and discourage rather prevent all sorts of mutual interaction between the Pakhtuns across the border.

14. Showing a tough stance on relations between India and Pakistan but at the same time opening all vistas of opportunity and mutual interaction between east and west Punjab.

Power is like money and lack of power is poverty. Money attracts more money and poverty brings more deprivation till it questions the very existence of the poor. Without power Pakhtuns are poor and their poverty will keep on depriving them of all their resources of livelihood till it finally threatens their survival.Pakhtun have witnessed the phase of their political and economic deprivation and now their very survival is under threat.

Pakhtun are being killed and compelled to take revenge so that their mass killing can be justified, their victimization is the target of ethnic cleansing in Karachi, their massacre is in progress in FATA and they are suffering in the resonating explosions of bombs planted by Pakistani agencies in different cities of NWFP and Balochistan.The occupied Pakhtun heaven-on-earth is being wrongly projected as a safe haven for foreign terrorists.

It seems that the atrocities and injustice against Pakhtuns and other oppressed nations in Pakistan will compel the Pakhtuns and their leadership to initiate a struggle for their survival and freedom.

It is time to regain the political control of Pakhtun-soil in Pakistan by putting an end to the occupation of agencies once and for all before it is too late and life for a Pakhtun becomes something to hate. It is better to die for the freedom of Pakhtun soil while raising your voice than to live like a slave in a country which is ready to sell your resources and quote your price.

Pakistan is burning for the last few years in particular Pakhtoon belt. Not a single day passes with out any bomb blast, suicide attack, rocket firing & hand grenade being blasted or thrown on security forces.

There are many aspects to the recent blood shed in our beloved country but the US attacks on Bajur’s seminary couple of years back had been the profound reason behind this blood cycle & the Lal Masjid mayhem added fuel to fire as most of the victims of these assaults were Pakhtoons of tribal belt.

In order to get revenge of their beloved ones killed in tribal agencies & Lal Masjid the people here had different ideas & to be tactful we have to feel the grievances of these poor people.

Another important aspect of the recent suicide attacks is that these all were directed against security forces & it speaks lot about the intentions of these attacks.

Pakhtoons have voted for a progressive part in Feb. 18 elections which seemed to be absurd for many but it should not be so as Pakhtoons are moderate & broad minded people despite being targeted at many stages including our tribal belt & southern Afghanistan.

Pakistan can get rid of these all troubles in only way & that is to say good by to US war on terror & that is it. We can not afford fighting a foreign war in our home land. It should be clear to every one.

Khan Abdul Wali Khan Pashto:(خان عبدالولي خان) (b. January 11, 1917 – d. January 26, 2006) was a Pashtun freedom fighter against the British Raj, a senior politician in Pakistan and a writer.

His early years were marked by his involvement in his fathers non-violent resistance movement, the "red shirts" against the British Raj. Narrowly escaping an attempt on his life he was later sent to school at Dera Dhun.

In his late teens he became active in the Indian National Congress. After the formation of Pakistan, Khan became a controversial figure in Pakistani politics, he was referred to as both a hero and traitor during his political career because of his association to the Congress which opposed the creation of Pakistan.

A respected politician in his later years, he contributed to Pakistan's third constitution, led protests for the restoration of democracy in the 1960s and 1980s. In the 1970s, he also served as the parliamentry leader of opposition in Pakistan's first directly elected parliament.

His political career was marked by opposition from opponents who considered him to be stubborn and inflexible, due his criticisms of the political dominance of Punjab and the Pakistani Army.[1] His final years were marked by his criticism of the Taliban and his support for their ouster.

He was a powerful advocate of Pashtunistan and Pashtun nationalism, provincial (state) rights within Pakistan's federal structure and despite remained an advocate of political change through dialogue

As Abdul Ghani Khan spoke about Pakhtoons/Pashtuns/Pakhtuns:

The people I love, which makes my task harder than ever.

Pakhtuns, the simply amazing and amazingly simple people, are not easy to love. Pakhtun takes a lot of knowing. Pakhtun is the most complicated simplicity. I want to bring him down from the hills of Khyber and the plains of Hashtnager, face to face with you in his torn clothes and grass sandals, his eyes full of manliness, mirth and mischievous sprite, and his head full of infantile and noble pride - the paramount camouflage he uses to hide his desires

Authentic history begins with the reign of the Khans of Kalat, the rulers of Kalat were never fully independent, there was always a paramount power to whom they were subject. In the earliest times they were merely petty chiefs: later they bowed to the orders of the Mughal emperors of Delhi and to the rulers of Kandahar, and supplied men-at-arms on demand. Most peremptory orders from the Afghan rulers to their vassals of Kalat are still extant, and the predominance of the Sadozais and Barakzais was acknowledged so late as 1838. It was not until the time of Nasir Khan I that the titles of Beglar Begi (Chief of Chiefs) and Wali-i-Kalat (Governor of Kalat) were conferred on the Kalat ruler by the Afghan kings.^[16]

For the first 150 years, up to the death of Mir Mahmud Khan I, a gradual extension of power took place and the building up of a constitution which, looking at the condition of the country, is a marvel of political sagacity and practical statesmanship. A period of social ferment, anarchy, and rebellion succeeded, in which sanguinary revolts rapidly alternated with the restoration of a power ruthless in retaliation, lasting into the period of British Government.^[16]

As the Mughal power decayed, the Ahmadzai chiefs found themselves freed in some degree from external interference. The first problem that presented itself was to secure mutual cohesion and co-operation in the loose tribal organization of the state, and this was effected by adopting a policy of parcelling out a portion of all conquests among the poverty-stricken highlanders. Thus all gained a vested interest in the welfare of the community, while receiving provision for their maintenance. A period of expansion then commenced. Mir Ahmad made successive descents on the plains of Sibi. Mir Samandar extended his raids to Zhob, Bori, and Thal-Chotiali, and levied an annual sum of Rs. 40,000 from the Kalhoras of Sindh.^[16]

Mir Abdullah, the greatest conqueror of the dynasty, turned his attention westward to Makran, while in the north-east he captured Pishin and Shorawak from the Ghilzai rulers of Kandahar. He was eventually slain in a fight with the Kalhoras at Jandrihar near Sanni in Kachhi. During the reign of Mir Abdullah's successor, Mir Muhabbat, Nadir Shah rose to power; and the Ahmadzai ruler obtained through him in 1740 the cession of Kachhi, in compensation for the blood of Mir Abdullah and the men who had fallen with him. The Brahuis had now gained what highlanders must always covet, good cultivable lands; and, by the wisdom of Muhabbat Khan and of his brother Nasir Khan, certain tracts were distributed among the tribesmen on the condition of finding so many men-at-arms for the Khan's body of irregular troops. At the same time much of the revenue-paying land was retained by the Khan for himself.^[17]

The forty-four years of the rule of Nasir Khan I, known to the Brahuis as 'The Great,' and the hero of their history, were years of strenuous administration and organization interspersed with military expeditions. He accompanied Ahmad Shah in his expeditions to Persia and India, while at home he was continuously engaged in the reduction of Makran, and, after nine expeditions to that country, he obtained from the Gichkis the right to the collection of half the revenues. A wise and able administrator, Nasir Khan was distinguished for his prudence, activity, and enterprise. He was essentially a warrior and a conqueror, and his spare time was spent in hunting. At the same time he was most attentive to religion, and enjoined on his people strict attention to the precepts of Islamic law. His reign was free from those internecine conflicts of which the subsequent story of Kalat offers so sad a record.^[17]

The reign of Nasir Khan's successor, Mir Mahmud Khan, was distinguished bv little except revolts. In I810 Pottinger visited his capital and has left a full record of his experience.^[18] The reign of Mir Mehrab Khan was one long struggle with his chiefs, many of whom he murdered. He became dependent on men of the stamp of Mulla Muhammad Hasan and Saiyid Muhammad Sharif, by whose treachery, at the beginning of the first Afghan War, Sir William Macnaghten and Sir Alexander Burnes were deceived into thinking that Mehrab Khan was a traitor to the British; that he had induced the tribes to oppose the advance of the British army through the Bolan Pass; and that finally, when Sir Alexander Burnes was returning from a mission to Kalat, he had caused a robbery to be committed on the party, in the course of which an agreement, which had been executed between the envoy and the Khan, was carried off. This view determined the diversion of Sir Thomas Willshire's brigade from Quetta to attack Kalat in 1839, an act which has been described by Malleson as 'more than a grave error, a crime.'^[19] The place was taken by assault and Mehrab Khan was slain.[1

Shortly afterwards Balochistan fell to Nasir-ud-din Sabuktagin, Sabuktagin's son Mahmud of Ghazi was able to conquer Sindh due to his possession of Khuzdar. After the Ghaznivids the area passed to the Ghorids and a little later became part of the dominion of Sultan Muhammad Khan of Khwazrizm (Khiva) in 1219.^[8] However around 1223 a Mongol expedition under Chagatai, the son of Genghiz Khan, penetrated as far as Makran. A few years later, southern Baluchistan briefly came under the rule of Sultan Altamsh of Delhi but soon came back under Mongol rule. The raids organised by the Mongols have left a lasting mark on history of Baluchistan, from Makran to Gomal the Mongol (known to the people as Mughal) and the atrocities they caused are still well know.^[8]

Afterwards the history of Balochistan centres around Kandahar and is was in this area in 1398 that Pir Muhammad, the grandson of Timur, fought the Afghans in the Sulaiman mountains. According to local tradition Timur himself passed through Marri country during one of his Indian expeditions.^[8]

The succeeding century is one of great historical interest. The Baloch extended their power to Kalat, Kachhi, and the Punjab, and the wars took place between Mir Chakar the Rind and Gwahram Lashari which are so celebrated in Baloch verse. In these wars a prominent part was played by Mir Zunnun Beg, Arghun, who was governor of north-eastern Baluchistan under Sultan Husain Mirza of Herat about 1470. At the same time the Brahuis had been gradually gaining strength, and their little principality at this time extended through the Jhalawan country to Wad.^[15]

The Arghuns shortly afterwards gave way before Babar. From 1556 to 1595 the country was under the Safavid dynasty. Then it fell into the hands of the Mughals of Delhi until 1638, when it was again transferred to Persia. We have an interesting account of Baluchistan in the Ain-i-Akbari. In 1590 the upper highlands were included in the sarkdr of Kandahar, while Kachhi was part of the Bhakkar sarkdr of the Multan Subah. Makrdn alone remained independent under the Maliks, Buledais, and Gichkis, until Nasir Khan I of Kalat brought it within his power during the eighteenth century.^[15]

From the middle of the seventeenth century Baluchistan remained under the Safavids till the rise of the Ghilzai power in I708. The latter in its turn gave way before Nadir Shah, who, during the first part of the eighteenth century, made several expeditions to or through Baluchistan. Ahmad Shah Durrani followed; and thenceforth the north-eastern part of the country, including almost all the areas now under direct administration, remained under the more or less nominal suzerainty of the Sadozais and Barakzais till I879, when Pishin, Duki, and Sibi passed into British hands by the Treaty of Gandamak. Meanwhile the whole of Western Baluchistan had been consolidated into an organized state under the Ahmadzai Khans of Kalat. All tradition asserts that the former rulers of Kalat were Hindus, Sewa by name.^[15]

As Muslim dynasties held Baluchistan from about the seventh century, we must look to an earlier period for the date of the Sewas; and it is not improbable that they were connected with the Rai dynasty of Sind, whose genealogical table includes two rulers named Sihras. The Mirwaris, from whom the Ahmadzais are descended, claim Arab origin. In their earlier legends we find them living at Surab near Kalat, and extending their power thence in wars with the Jats or Jadgals. They then fell under the power of the Mongols; but one of their chiefs, Mir Hasan, regained the capital from the Mongol governor, and he and his successors held Kalat for twelve generations till the rise of Mir Ahmad in I666-7. It is from Mir Ahmad that the eponym Ahmadzai is derived.^[15]

In the 7th century the current Balochistan province of Pakistan was divided into two main regions, its south western parts were part of Karman province of Persian Empire and north eastern region was part of the Persian province Sistan. The southern region was included in Makran, prior to the Islamic era - the suzerainty over the petty rulers of Baluchistan alternative between east and west. In the 14th year of the Hijra, 636-6CE, Rai Chach marched from Sindh and conquered Makran, however in 643 the Arabs reached Makran.^[8] In early 644 CE, Caliph Umar sent Suhail ibn Adi from Busra to conquer the Karman region of Iran; he was made governor of Karman. From Karman he entered the western Baluchistan and conquered the region near to Persian frontiers.^[9] South Western Balochistan was conquered during the campaign in sistan the same year. During Caliph Uthman’s reign in 652, Balochistan was re-conquered during the campaign against the revolt in Karman, under the command of Majasha ibn Masood, it was first time when western Baluchistan came directly under the Laws of Caliphate and gave tribute on agriculture.^[10]In those days western Baluchistan was included in the dominion of Karman. In 654 Abdulrehman ibn Samrah was made governor of Sistan, an Islamic army was sent under him to crush the revolt in Zarang, which is now in southern Afghanistan. Conquering Zarang a column moved north ward to conquer areas up to Kabul and Ghazni in Hindu Kush Mountains, while another column moved towards North western Baluchistan and conquered area up to the ancient city of Dawar and Qandabil (Bolan),^[11] by 654 the whole of what is now Baluchistan province of Pakistan was under the rule of Rashidun Caliphate except for the well defended mountain town of QaiQan (now Kalat), which was conquered during Caliph Ali’s reign. ^[12] Abdulrehman ibn Samrah made Zaranj his provincial capital and remained governor of these conquered areas from 654 to 656, until Uthman was murdered. During the Caliphate of Ali, the areas of Balochistan, Makran again broke into revolt. Due to civil war in the Islamic empire Ali was unable to take notice of these areas, at last in the year 660 he sent a large force under the command of Haris ibn Marah Abdi towards Makran, Baluchistan and Sind. Haris ibn Marah Abdi arrived in Makran and conquered it by force then moved north ward to north eastern Balochistan and re-conquered Qandabil (bolan), then again moving south finally conquered Qaiqan (kalat) after a fierce battle^[13]. In 663 CE, during the reign of Umayyad Caliph Muawiyah I, Muslim lost control of North eastern Balochistan and Kalat when Haris ibn Marah and large part of army died in the battle field against a revolt in Kalat.^[14] Muslim forces latter re-gained the control of the area during Umayyads reign. It also remained part of Abbasid Caliphate's empire.

Arab rule in Balochistan lasted until the end of the tenth century, the parts of Balochistan best known to them were, Turan (the Jhalawan country) with its capital at Khuzdar, and Nudha or Budha (Kachhi). Around 976 Ibn Haukal, during second visit to India, found an Arab governor residing in Kaikanan (probably the modern Nal) and governing Khuzdar.^[8]

Balochistan is one of the four provinces of Pakistan.^[1] It was conquered by the British Empire on October 1, 1887^[2] and became part of British India. In 1947, when Pakistan became independent, most of Balochistan became a province of Pakistan, the following year the princely state of Kalat was annexed to Pakistan. Since then, a number of separatist groups in the province have engaged in an armed struggle against the Pakistani government, the first was led by Prince Karim Khan in 1948, and later by Nawab Nowroz Khan in 1968. These tribal uprisings were limited in scope, a more serious insurgency was led by the Marri and Mengal tribes between 1973 and 1977. All these groups fought for the existence of a "Greater Balochistan" — a single independent state ruled under tribal jirgas (a tribal system of government) and comprising the historical Balochistan region, presently split between Iran, Pakistan and Afghanistan. In 2005 there was another struggle to achieve these aims, in 2006, the Pakistan army killed Nawab Akbar Bugti^[3], the man they blamed for the violence.^[4]. Bugti may be a proclaimed offender for Pakistan's military-led ruling establishment but he has become a hero for his own people.^[5]

Freedom is the most expensive word in the world becouse Mr.Human has paid more then any thing to have it and keep it.From centuries individuals and nations are fighting to achive the glory of freedom.Those who are working for freedom are the most holy persons in the world.
Pashtoon nation also had great leaders whose leadership brought prosperity and liberty to the nation.

Pashtoon pioneers and freedom fighters like Bayazeed Roshan,Khushal Khan Khattak,Sher sha suri,Mirwais Neka,Ghazi Amanullah Khan,Khan Abdul Ghafar khan Bacha Khan and Baba e Pashtoon Khan e Shaheed Khan Abdul samad Khan Achakzai fought for the freedom of Afghan pashtoon nation and lived thier lives for one cause that was to keep the nation independent and live like an honorable human bieng on thier home land.

In 1907 on south Pashtoonkhwa(balochistan) horizon,a bloom star was born,showing sign for liberty,equality fraternity and sovereignty through son of soil,Khan addus samad khan Achakzai,born simultaneously in the pious priest family of Maulana Noor Mohammad Khan and Begum Noor Mohammad Khan at Inayatullah Karez near Gulistan,close to quetta.Maulana Noor Mohammad Achakzai imparted to his son samad best of religiouse and academic education to meet the challanges of the closing 19th century and beginning of the 20th century,Samad Achakzai proved worthy of trust reposed in him,by his parents.Samad acquired Knowledge of rekigiouse education at home and then modern education available at Govt School Gulistan.Samad excelled in both which broadened his horizon to handle hazardous personal and political life.


TENDER AGE:-

At tender age of 10 inspired by his political inborn instinct samad led school student's procession to protest against British imperialists about Afghanistan and Khilafat Movement.Student's procession went on well without voilence,as he firmly believed in non-voilence amply proved by his political career,all his life.His successful students procession at Gulistan,however provoked Quetta-pashin political Agent( a single office,Combining pelf and power of collector,Dietric Magistrate,Deputy Commissioner and PA with full control over tribes and tribal territory under his area of administration).Samad was reprimanded.His parents were warned against this samad's semi political activity,believed to be prejudicail to the British Balochistan.Seed of politics already shown in samad by leading student's procession at tender age of 10,had taken shape of a political sapling.This political sapling led is to samads first lading in prison as a political prisoner in Quetta for 28 days.It so happend,when Khan Samad Achakzai raised a group of like-minded young men from balochistan to back Ghazi Amanullah khan of Afghanistan against whom British imperialists had conspired to topple him khan samad khan and his colleagues were let off,from Quetta only when the British Imperrialists succeeded in Amanullah's outer from Afghanistan.

DEVIATION:-

Then British Govt: made an abortive attempt at deviating Khan samad Achakzai from his path of politics by offering him the post of Extra Assistant Commissioner(EAC) at chaman.pak-Afghan border town as well as chieftain of Achakzai tribe.He declined both these offers and decided on continuing his political journey and political career under extremely difficult exceptional circumstances.

POLITICAL JOURNEY:-

Khan Samad's journey begain from Balochistan to punjab in 1929.As a Voraciouse reader with an eagle eye on current affairs,Mr.Samad Achakzai had attained political maturity,as a teenager, on account of two earth moving events.One was Russian revolution in Oct 1917.Russain Revolutionary labour party, BOLSHVIC against imperialist Czar of Russia, brought in to being union of Soviet Socialist Republic(USSR).
1917 october Revolution freed subjugated nations of Russia on the principle of self-determination and equality of nation from the imperialist forces.it emancipated enslaved Russians and established thier own Republics, where with thier own free will, formed USSR, setting practical example of political ideals for national and socail freedom. Such development as the evalution of USSR, had a political impact on the political philosophy of Khan Samad Achakzai who firmed believed in the freedom of Nations from the Yoke of British imperialism.

PASHTOON NATIONALISTS:-

As a Pashtoon nationalist, Khan Samad Achakzai accompanied by his two colleagues Qazi Mohammad Qahir Khan and Obaidullah Khan journeyed to lahore in Dec 1929, to listen to indain nationalists including Dr.Saifullah Kuchlo and Sonobar Hussain Mohmand at annual Congregation of Indain Congress. Influenced by Indain Congress Congregation at Lahore, Khan on his return to Quetta, Launched his political movement with first public meeting in the city Mosque. Quetta Mosque meeting led to the arrest of Khan Samad Khan Achakzai and his two other political activists..Abdul Salam Khan and Mr. Mohammad Ayub Khan. In 1930, Khan Samad Khan was commited to Pashtoon Jirga in Quetta. The Jirga convicted him and sentenced him to Two years R.I. The Jirga found him guilty of attending a political meeting at Lahore under the aegis of Indain Congress and others and distributing Political litrature in Balochistan on his return from Lahore. The Jirga also found him guilty of addressing a sort of political meeting at a mosque in Quetta. There was ban on freedom of expression and freedom of press in British Balochistan. He underwent imprisonment at prison in Quetta and mach,for eleven months. Later on his release in 1931, Khan Samad Khan Achakzai, went all the way from balochistan to Bombay, hub of political activity. At Bombay Khan Samad Khan met Mahatma Gandhi and presented to him a Pamphlet prepared by him, partaining to Balochistan problums Mahatma Gandhi's Secretary Mr. Pyre lal translated Khan Samad's Urdu version of the Pamphlet in to English. Printing and publication of Khan Samad's pamphlet cost was borne by Mahatma Gandhi him self. It was very well circulated in the political and press circles for proper projection and publicity through print media. At Khan Samad's meeting with Mr. Gandhi before his deaprture for round table conference in London for India's independence, were present Khan Abdul Ghafar Khan Bacha Khan, Barrister Ahmad Shah, Amir Mohammad Khan and other's.

TURNING POINT:-

Khan Samad's meeting with Gandhi Ji and Khan Abdula Ghafar Khan turned out to be a turning point in his political fight for freedom. Khan Samad Khan Aslo had an oppotunity of meeting with Dr. Mohammad Iqbal in Lahore. The punjab press gave him full blast publicity and boosted his political morale for liberty equality fraternity and sovereignty of people. He continued his fight for freedom on balochistan soil, Rendered supreme sacrifies and maintained relentless struggle for freedom of expression and freedom of press, till he was captured in Quetta in 1942 on false and fabricated charges. Samad's sacrifices and struggle won freedom for India in Aug 1947....India was partitioned in to two soveriegn states...Baharat and Pakistan. Even after the advent of Pakistan, Khan Samad Khan continued to suffer from imprisonment till 1954, on his release he formed a political party WRORE PASHTOON to fight for creation of PASHTOONISTAN within Pakistan.After short terms freedom, Samad was shackled by fits and starts on cooked up charges till Feb.24 1969, when prsident Field marshal Ayub Khan agreed for roundtable with conference with opposition leaders of undivided pakistan. At the roundtable conference, Khan Samad Khan strrongly advocated for the creation of provinces on linguistic and cultural basis after the break-up of the then existing one unit. This one unit consisted of punjab,sindh,NWFP, Quetta and Qalat divisiions of Balochistan. By stroke of pen, Gen. Yahya Khan, who had snatched power from president Field Marshal Ayub Khan. broke one unit before General Elections 1970. He restored all the provinces of the Punjab, Sindh and NWFP. He converted Quetta and Qalat division in to a province and elevated them to Balochistan provincail status. As Khan Samad's demand for PASHTOONISTAN province within pakistan was not fully supported by Nap, so he withdrew from NAP and formed Pashtoonkhwa National Awamy Party(PNAP). He and his party won election on PNAP tickets and won seats in provencail assembly in 1970.Khan e Shaheed Khan Abdul Samad Khan Achakzai was Martyred while a sleep on Dec 2 1973. Two hand grenades were hurled in the bedroom of small house by terrorists, martyring towering personality, who always stood as bulwark against terrorism,religouse extremism and subersion of people's sovereignty.
Khan Samad's small house, built of mud, cement. bricks and tin still existing in a lane, where some member's of his family lives, is an ample of testimoney that though he was in corridore during late Mr. Z.A bhutto, first elected prime minister of Pakistan after General Elections 70, yet he neither made any fortune nor minted money shaheed Samad simply lived and died for his countrymen and left behind a party now known as Pashtoonkhwa Milli Awamy Party.
