Baloch是一个非常勇敢的社区，巴基斯坦的压迫永远不会削弱他们。

The Baloch are a very brave community, Pakistani oppression can never weaken them.

Baloch是一个非常勇敢的社区，巴基斯坦的压迫永远不会削弱他们。

I visited Pakistan as the chairman of South Asian Journalists Forum. There, I met some Baloch professors. One of them, a woman, was wearing beautiful jewellery. When I complimented it, she said, “Our craftsmanship is exquisite, but unfortunately, we Balochs have lost everything.” That was the first time I realised the deep resentment among the Baloch people. She invited me to visit their university, saying, “Come and see for yourself what is happening there. Every student you meet will demand a separate Balochistan.” Now, after the train hijacking incident, I remember those professors and reflect on how much oppression Pakistan has inflicted upon the Baloch people, mercilessly spilling rivers of blood.

我访问了巴基斯坦，担任南亚记者论坛主席。在那里，我遇到了一些Bal路支教授。其中一个是一个女人，正在穿着漂亮的珠宝。当我称赞它时，她说：“我们的手工艺是精致的，但不幸的是，我们的Bal路支已经失去了一切。”那是我第一次意识到Bal路支人中的深刻不满。她邀请我去他们的大学，说：“亲自看看那里发生了什么。您遇到的每个学生都需要单独的Bal路支省。”现在，在火车劫持事件发生后，我记得那些教授，并反思了巴基斯坦对Baloch人造成了多少压迫，无情地溢出了鲜血的河流。

Last week, the Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA) hijacked a train, once again drawing global attention to the issue of Balochistan. Do you know that when India and Pakistan gained independence, Balochistan also became an independent country? However, it remained free for only 227 days before Pakistan took control of it. The Baloch people are still fighting for that lost freedom.

上周，Bal路支省解放军（BLA）劫持了火车，再次引起了全球对Bal路支省问题的关注。您知道，当印度和巴基斯坦获得独立时，Bal路支省也成为一个独立的国家？但是，在巴基斯坦控制它之前，它仅保留了227天。 Baloch人民仍在为失去的自由而战。

To understand this story, we must turn back the pages of history. Nearly 150 years ago, the Khanate of Kalat ruled over the Balochistan region. In 1876, the British signed a treaty with the Khanate of Kalat, granting it the status of a protected state. In 1946, as it became evident that India was about to gain independence and a country named Pakistan was going to be born, the Khanate of Kalat also started asserting its claim to be a separate nation. The ruler of Kalat Mir Ahmad Khan appointed Muhammad Ali Jinnah as his legal adviser to present his case before the British. Just before India’s independence, on August 4, 1947, a meeting was held in Delhi. Lord Mountbatten, Jawaharlal Nehru, Jinnah and Mir Ahmad Khan attended the meeting. Mountbatten agreed that Kalat could become an independent country. Jinnah supported the formation of a Balochistan nation comprising Kalat, Kharan, Las Bela and Makran. As per an agreement between Kalat and Muslim League, on August 12, 1947, the Khan of Kalat declared Balochistan an independent nation, with its defence being the responsibility of Pakistan.

要理解这个故事，我们必须返回历史页面。大约150年前，卡拉特的khanate统治了Bal路支省地区。 1876年，英国人与卡拉特（Kalat）的汗国（Khanate）签署了一项条约，并授予了受保护国家的地位。在1946年，很明显印度即将获得独立性，而一个名叫巴基斯坦的国家将出生，卡拉特的khanate也开始主张其声称是一个独立的国家。卡拉特·米尔·艾哈迈德·汗（Kalat Mir Ahmad Khan）的统治者任命穆罕默德·阿里·金纳（Muhammad Ali Jinnah）为法律顾问，将他的案件提交给英国人。就在印度独立之前，1947年8月4日在德里举行了一次会议。蒙巴顿勋爵，贾瓦哈拉尔·尼赫鲁，金纳和米尔·艾哈迈德·汗参加了会议。蒙巴顿同意卡拉特可以成为一个独立的国家。金纳（Jinnah）支持一个由卡拉特（Kalat），卡兰（Kharan），拉斯·贝拉（Las Bela）和麦克兰（Makran）组成的Bal路支省国家的形成。根据卡拉特与穆斯林联盟之间的协议，1947年8月12日，卡拉特的可汗宣布Bal路支省为独立国家，其辩护是巴基斯坦的责任。

But Britain played a trick. On September 12, 1947, Britain declared that Balochistan was not in a position to exist as an independent nation. It is believed that Jinnah himself had hatched this conspiracy. On March 18, 1948, Jinnah lured the tribal leaders of Kharan, Las Bela and Makran (neighbouring regions of Kalat) with incentives and separated them from Kalat. Therefore, it became clear that Pakistan would not allow Balochistan to remain independent at any cost. As the Pakistani army was preparing to invade, Mir Ahmad Khan ordered his army chief Brigadier General Parvez to mobilise forces and arrange weapons and ammunition. However, by then, it was too late. On March 26, 1948, the Pakistani army occupied Balochistan. Thus, Balochistan’s 227 days of independence came to an end and a free nation was once again enslaved!

但是英国发挥了作用。 1947年9月12日，英国宣布Bal路支省没有作为一个独立国家存在的能力。人们认为，金纳本人已经孵化了这一阴谋。 1948年3月18日，金纳（Jinnah）吸引了哈拉（Kharan），拉斯·贝拉（Las Bela）和麦克兰（Makran）的部落领导人（卡拉特（Kalat）的邻近地区），并将他们与卡拉特（Kalat）分开。因此，很明显，巴基斯坦不允许Bal路支省保持独立。当巴基斯坦军队准备入侵时，米尔·艾哈迈德·汗（Mir Ahmad Khan）下令他的陆军首席准将帕尔维兹将军动员部队并安排武器和弹药。但是，到那时为时已晚。 1948年3月26日，巴基斯坦军队占领了Bal路支省。因此，Bal路支省的227天独立终结，一个自由的国家再次被奴役！

This incident ignited the flames of rebellion and discontent before long. In the same year, Mir Ahmad Khan’s brother Prince Karim Khan led an armed revolt but the Pakistani army swiftly crushed it. However, whenever they got the chance, the Baloch people tried to wage a war against Pakistan in every possible way. By 2005, four major uprisings had already taken place. The fifth rebellion broke out in 2005 when a senior military officer close to President Pervez Musharraf raped a Baloch female doctor. Instead of taking action against the officer, the Pakistani authorities harassed the victim herself. This incident shook Nawab Akbar Khan Bugti, the chief of the Bugti tribe. Bugti had once served as Pakistan’s defence minister but at that time, he was leading the Balochistan Liberation Army. The Baloch people launched their fifth uprising but the Pakistani army responded with brutal force, bombing Akbar Bugti’s residence, killing 67 people. This massacre further enraged the Baloch people and they intensified their struggle against the Pakistan government. However, in 2006, Akbar Bugti and dozens of his supporters were assassinated. It is believed that in just the last decade and a half, the Pakistani military has either killed or caused forced disappearance of more than 5,000 Baloch people.

不久之后，这一事件激发了叛乱和不满的火焰。同年，米尔·艾哈迈德·汗（Mir Ahmad Khan）的兄弟卡里姆·汗（Karim Khan）王子领导了一场武装起义，但巴基斯坦军队迅速摧毁了它。但是，每当有机会时，Baloch人都试图以各种可能的方式与巴基斯坦发动战争。到2005年，已经进行了四个重大起义。第五叛乱在2005年爆发，当时一名接近总统佩尔维兹·穆沙拉夫（Pervez Musharraf）的高级军官强奸了一名Baloch女医生。巴基斯坦当局没有对军官采取行动，而是自己骚扰了受害者。这一事件震惊了Bugti部落的负责人Nawab Akbar Khan Bugti。 Bugti曾经担任巴基斯坦国防部长，但当时，他领导了Bal路支省解放军。 Baloch人民发起了第五次起义，但巴基斯坦军队以残酷的武力做出了反应，轰炸了阿克巴·布格蒂（Akbar Bugti）的住所，炸死67人。这次大屠杀进一步激怒了Baloch人民，他们加强了与巴基斯坦政府的斗争。但是，在2006年，阿克巴·布格（Akbar Bugti）和他的数十名支持者被暗杀。据信，在过去的十年半中，巴基斯坦军队杀死或导致了5,000多名Bal路支人的失踪。

You will be shocked to know that Balochistan geographically makes up 44% of Pakistan, yet its population is only around 1.5 crore. The region is rich in gold, copper, oil and numerous other minerals. Even China has arrived to exploit these resources, yet the Baloch people continue to struggle with extreme poverty.

您会震惊地知道，Bal路支省的地理位置占巴基斯坦的44％，但其人口只有1.5亿左右。该地区富含黄金，铜，石油和许多其他矿物质。甚至中国也来利用这些资源，但Baloch人民继续在极端贫困中挣扎。
