The way these men went about, shows their firm belief in gunda gardi (criminal intimidation). Also, an ambush in the middle of the night does not make them brave. If they were brave, uncover your faces dudes! Let us see who you are.
Ransacking a house of a person who died on Sept 11, 1948 and holding him responsible for 'atrocities' committed in the 2000s is nothing more than a case of misplaced and unjustified anger and resentment. It does not validate their cause or do any other favour. If anything, they will have fewer people believing them in whatever they claim are the 'atrocities' committed against them.
Secondly, their video repeatedly points out the 'royal' families of Balochistan. Pfft... royal families? Like in the 21st century.
In this day and age, the concept of monarchies is redundant until and unless it is the Brit monarchy which brings in visitors and revenues of millions of pounds every year with its profiles and activities. I doubt the royal families of Balochistan will have someone like Queen Elizabeth working till the grand old age of 90 who is still respected.
It is so easy to blame others for your own faults and flaws.
A few years back, a journo had visited a Baloch village after floods. A local villager blamed Punjab for the floods, his joblessness, poverty, lack of education, and just about everything under the sky. Everything was the Punjab's fault.
When asked how many children does he have, he replied "11".
The journo replied, "Will you blame Punjab for this too?" The man did not have an answer.
It is easier to give a gun to a youth than an education and a resource of economy.
The world is realising now that supporting strife in Egypt, Afghanistan and Iraq has not brought the changes it had assumed.
You bring a revolution when you have the ground ready with the right sort of capacity and human resource. If all the Sui officers were thrown out, do the Baloch, their sardars, the royal families have the sort of human resource needed to run those facilities?
You can 'free' the Baloch, but their plight will remain the same. Till the corrupt sardars do not losen their hold on the millions they get in royalties every year, 'freedom' or no freedom, nothing will change.
I want you to tell me one school a 'royal family' has started, one street or road carpeting whose money had been borne by the 'royal family', one local initiative by the 'royal family' employing the youth. Find me an answer, and I will find you someone who feels any sympathy for these hooligans in the video!
