Kaka ji Sanober Hussain a revolutionary Politician

Kaka ji Sanober Hussain was a great hero of the war of independence of sub-continent , a fearless and committed politician, a bold journalist and a good poet .He spent his most precious time fighting against imperialists who ruled India by the time .He was one of those freedom fighters who struggled to liberate India , mould the society , give political education to the masses and help the down trodden and the poor and was having a conscious heart and mind .He had a precious wealth of feelings for humanity and was not satisfied with the man made ups and downs in society. He was a man who did not believe in gods of color and race. It is true that he was basically a politician par excellent but at the same time he was a poet of the Pashto language who had a liking for other languages as well like Persian, Urdu and English. He believed that all languages spoken in different parts of the world belonged to human beings and all are to be given due respect and regard. His each and every moment of life spent for the service of his nation and entire humanity. He worked hard to promote Pashto literature and culture. Kaka ji was a great statesman and an intellectual and men as great as he was, are born once in centuries. He was born in January 1897 in a village names Kaga wala situated about 8 kilometers in the south of Peshawar city on main Kohat road near Badaber. He got formal education up to class 10 from Islamia High school Peshawar city and adopted the profession of education where he taught the children of lesser gods. But he soon realized that his heart and mind were made for some other thing different from what he was doing. He did not like to serve the government rather wished to help his people and humanity from the atrocities and injustices prevailing in society at that time means that he was born free and loved freedom for all and wanted to fly in an atmosphere of the freedom and break all kinds of shackles and fetters of slaver which have fastened the humanity. He wanted to get sub- continent salvated from the plundering and looting by the imperialists. Consequently, kaka ji said good by to the profession of education and took an active part in the practical politics. He founded , Anjuman Zamindaran, in his own village in 1926 where he noticed that farmers and poor growers were taking an interest in his work so he was greatly encouraged and moved towards the atmosphere of the city to expand the sphere of his work. Doing politics was not as easy as we see today by the time because there were no facilities of the travelling and other communication. By the time kaka ji was a young man and participated in a movement called, Nojwanan Baharat Sabha, which wanted a direct action against the English contrary to the decision of the congress committee. His participation gave a new spirit and hope to the movement. Kaka ji was put behind the bar by the imperialists on the crime of patriotism and love with his people. When he was set free, then he was a more changed man who had more spirit in his heart to serve his people and soil with a new enthusiasm. He felt the need of more integrated and stronger political organization. He started publishing a weekly from Peshawar namely, SILAB, which indeed proved to be a flood for the enemies and motivation of the general public. So the English rulers counted it in the dangerous element for their government and confiscated the publication. Not only the publication was banned but his arrest warrant was also issued. His aides and comrades advised him to leave his home for tribal area. Kaka ji accepted what his friends advised. He found that Haji sahibTarangzai was already there who was busy working against imperialists to liberate the sub-continent from their clutches. Kaka ji accepted his allegiance and stayed there for almost 18 years working for the movement of freedom. When in 1947, the English left sub-continent and India was liberated while Pakistan was born, he came back his home once again from tribal territory and started publishing a monthly ASLAM which was a standard Pashto magazine. Besides, he laid the foundation of an Anjuman Olasi Adabi Jirga .This Anjuman brought a revolution in the world of Pashto poem and literature and gave a new tradition of the open critic. This trend not only promoted the poem but prose also. The magic personality of Kaka ji attracted the poets of all shades and languages towards him. There was no question of religion, cast, creed, color and political affiliation among those who used to sit around kaka ji. He was a social and political person, a writer and a man of principles and had many books and writings to his credit. He wrote on social and political issues. Baba I Ghazal Ameer Hamza Khan Shinwari writes about Kaka ji: He wanted to over power the imperialist and exploitative forces and wished that poor laborers and growers to be considered as human beings. He neither bowed before any despot nor was he impressed by any cruel man or system. He stood like rock before the cruel and exploitative system and nothing could move him from his chosen path. He was a determined and committed man to his cause. His precious part of life was spent in mountains and deserts. Kaka ji was a strong and firm Pashtun. He loved Pashto language and served it till the end of his life. Once I said to him, it is right time to take rest now: He replied that it is the sign of weakness and death. He had all qualities what a pashtun have concerning hospitality. Mir Mehdi Shah bacha says about him in these words: He was a great man and a revolutionary. His words had love and attraction. His face had a smiling all the time for every one. His talks were sweet and one wanted to hear him more and more. Great Pashtun nationalist politician and poet Ajmal Khattak says that Kaka ji was a living person and will live until the world exists as people like him will never die. Such people are alive in hearts and minds of the people. He was not only a literary person but at same time he was a political leader and reformer. Kaka ji believed that only change of faces would not work. Change of system is the real thing which would solve the problems of the people. Condition of the poor can not be changed until capitalism exists. If one likes to change the fate of the poor then he will have to change the system of capitalism. Kaka ji also believed that rights can not be obtained by just demands and simple asking. Kaka ji was so great that only one article is not enough for it. This great revolutionary politician, writer, poet and intellectual departed for his eternal abode on January 3, 1963 in his village Kaka wala and was buried there.

May God bliss his soul: Ameen!

American drones and future of region

pdc — Sat, 22 Nov 2008 10:52:36 +0000

American drones and future of region

American drones are said to have hit the Bannu district of pakhtunkhwa province this time meaning that strikes by the American drones against alleged terrorists have entered settled areas from FATA.

When Americans and allied forces came to Kabul in 2001 after the world trade center and pentagon were hit by the alleged terrorists. The then erstwhile rulers of the Kabul Taliban and Arab militants left Kabul and took shelter in the mountainous areas near Durand line in FATA. General Musharraf then president of Pakistan hit a deal with Americans to get more than 13 billion dollars to fight against extremist forces in FATA and wipe them out. Americans are said to be very wise people but they were apparently deceived by the military ruler. Americans were standing firmly behind the dictator who was friendly with the militants and more antagonistic against Pashtun people. It is on the record that the Pakistani generals used to tell during the quagmire of the then East Pakistan and now an independent country with name of Bangladesh, they needed the land not Bengalis, who were the real masters of their land and proved that ultimately they triumphed. Similarly General Musharraf also followed his predecessors and came hard on the Pashtun and mercilessly assassinated the influential people of the Pashtun in FATA including political activists, Maliks and anti- extremist tribal chiefs who thought that Musharraf and his cronies were really fighting terrorists but actually the situations were not as they thought to be and lost their lives. In oct.2002 a general election was held in which clergy was voted to win as the clergy was needed by the establishment of Pakistan under the rule of Musharraf. Religious parties in Pashtunkhwa and Baluchistan in their five years tenure did the best for the Pakistani establishment and Punjabi dominated civil and military bureaucracy who have always gone against Pashtun and Afghanistan. Extremist forces prepared themselves and when the Americans went to Iraq then once again they came out from their caves and started their subversive activities. Pashtun in FATA and settled areas were started beheaded and their houses looted and forced to leave their houses and villages. Today almost all people from FATA have left their homes in FATA and have come to relatively safer places in Peshawar and some of them are said to have gone to Afghanistan. The aim of the establishment was to get dollars from American on one hand and to show to the world that Pashtun nation is fundamentalist and pro extremist. This version of Pakistan was incorrect and biased against Pashtun people and it is evident from the past seven years record of the alliance with Americans against extremist forces that it badly failed and did nothing against the extremists rather they got stronger in FATA and other pashtun areas in province. Pashtun intellectuals and political people when and where got opportunity they have spoken the truth about all what was going on but the concerned people took it deaf ears and did not weigh what was said by the pashtun. Blind follow is not the good exercise. It wastes resources and time and inaccurate decisions take the people far away. Mulla and military joined hands to disgrace pashtun and put American in quagmire and keep Afghanistan disturbed as nationalism for Pakistan near Durand line is a forbidden tree as she is afraid that pashtun national unity will be disastrous for them. When American realized that they had also committed mistakes during their previous decisions. When the guests of Pakistani establishment came to know that further stay for them in FATA was difficult then most of them started coming to the settled areas and this is the reason that today the settled areas are being targeted and the incident of Bannu is the fresh case. If Pakistani establishment still keep continued what the Qazi Hussain, Imran khan ,Fazal Rahman and other leaders of the militant groups including PML(N) and other right wing and conservative parties and individual say then further worst time will be waiting for Pakistan.

Zalmay Khalil zad and Pakistani biased writers

admin — Sat, 01 Nov 2008 18:12:27 +0000

Zalmay Khalil Zad

There are a large number of writers in Pakistan who are not tired while writing against Afghanistan and those who wish peace, stability and property in that war-ravaged country. Sometimes back a local newspaper publishes from metropolitan Peshawar carried a story where American ambassador to Kabul His Excellency Zalmay khalil zad was alleged to have spoken against the negative role of Islamabad foreign policy towards Afghanistan. The language used in the said writing was absolutely inhuman, unethical and contrary to decency.
Such anti-Afghan writings and apolitical approach of the biased writers in Pakistan put me in trouble as I am a pashtun nationalist who dares Afghanistan and honor all those who long for the peace, stability prosperity and development of Afghanistan .We discussed the same writing in the meeting of pakhtun democratic council , a political organization struggling for the rights of Pukhtun/Afghans living everywhere in the world. Almost all the participants slated such unethical remarks and strongly condemned what the daily had published. On the insistence of the participants of the council, a rejoinder was prepared and taken to the office of daily. But sorry to say that our reply never got a space to be published. The writer had penned that ex-American ambassador Zalmay khlil zad was a persona non- grata and when he speaks against Pakistan that’s poisonous. He stings like scorpion and bites like snakes. But the poor writer could not understand that Zalmay khlil zad was an honorable ambassador of US to Kabul. He was not like a poor common Afghan who had migrated to Pakistan where insulted and disgraced. He was the envoy of a country which saved the Afghans and Afghanistan from a dangerous monster which was prepared to swallow up them all along with their geography ,politics ,culture and history and were trying to mutilate them.
One should not wonder as to what I mean? The real monsters were terrorists who were nurtured and promoted by the enemies of the Pashtun and Afghanistan who wanted to hoist their flag on Kabul and capture it with force for the ulterior motives unaware of their disgraceful retreat and destroying their investment. Thanks to those who boldly fought against evil forces and got Afghanistan once again which was lost. Those forces martyred for the defense of the Afghans and Afghanistan is great and their services will be remembered. All the foreign countries which have landed their forces in Afghanistan wish to see a stable and developed and democratic Afghanistan. It is expected that Americans and allies want to make that country a democratic welfare and model state in Asia. We are optimist, but at same time we should also not forget that Afghanistan have enemies also, who can not tolerate to see a stable, democratic and prosperous Afghanistan. They create disturbance there. They use the propaganda that Afghanistan has foreign forces which have held Afghanistan just to play with the sentiments of the Pashto on across the Durand line. Pashtoon know it well that foreign troops have come to save Afghanistan. When there were no foreign troops in Afghanistan, what were the situations? One was fighting against other and if today foreign troops declare to withdraw from Afghanistan, the same even worst situations will happen. The enemies of Afghanistan will try to seize Afghanistan and will declare that Kabul belongs to them and no power on the earth will be able to get it back from the extremists and their promoters. Pashtun/Afghan should take it very serious as this is ultimately our problem for our survival. Americans and Europeans should understand that terrorists will not leave them in their countries and capitals and their innocent souls will become preys for the crime which they have not committed if they think to leave Afghanistan at these critical times. European and Americans should take the propaganda of the enemies of Afghanistan in lighter vein as the people have seen cruelties and barbarism of the so-called clerics. People want peace, democracy, and development. They do not like terrorists and extremists to rule them. Those who cry for the withdrawal of the forces have their own agenda and for this purpose they have hired the propagandists among Punjabi pseudo writers and so called intellectuals who are myopic and short sighted. When ISAF forces came to Afghanistan the investment of a certain country in the from of the Taliban drowned. The retreated fundamentalist forces were provided the safe sanctuaries in the mountain areas situated near the Durand line known as FATA with the hope that very soon Americans would leave Afghanistan and they once again would get them landed in Kabul. When they came to know that America sent its forces to Iraq to fight there against Saddam Hussain, so once again the rival forces started instigating the insurgents to keep their intervention in Afghanistan and tease the foreign troops to leave that country. The establishment of Pakistan sitting in Islamabad intentionally made an atmosphere in pashtun areas where JUI and its component parties including Jumati Islami and other Islamic outfits were voted to power. Nationalists ,progressive and democratic political forces were discouraged and defeated at the same time as they needed the clerical fundamentalist forces in tribal areas where they could hide their retreated forces in tribal areas and in some settled areas of the pashtun . This entire cooked drama was prepared for just an attempt to intervene in Afghanistan and they have a supportive Govt in the backdrop, in simple words the establishment of Pakistan brought those Mullas in two provinces to support the extremist forces. Zalmay khalil zad was right to say that terrorists cross over Durand line and disturb peace in Afghanistan. Here question arises that weapons of USSR era in Afghanistan have finished, now it’s to be thought where this does this weapon come from? And who help to bring it? And the entire game is near the Durand line? It is claimed that Pashtun are doing it. No, never Pashtuns area is being used . One should think that the Pashtuns living in Qundoos, a province in the north of Afghanistan are not fighting why? Only those areas which are attached with Pakistan are engaged in fighting.
Zalmay khalik zad is aware of the drama because he had the knowledge of the region. It was a pride for entire Afghanistan and Pashtun that zalmay was an ambassador for America. This is of course very interesting for us all. . Now it is up to Pashtun to foil the conspiracy of the clever enemy and get salvation of their intricacies. ? It was also written in that write-up that Afghanistan was not an important country. I think the writer was a mad person. Afghanistan was founded in 1747 by great Ahmad shah Baba while Pakistan of Jinnah came into the being in 1947, Which means that both have an age difference of 200 years. This is the same Afghanistan due to which Pakistan was saved at the cost of destruction of former. This is the same Afghanistan due to which many generals of Pakistan became so rich that their accumulated wealth will be enough for their coming seven generations. Americans are requested to send back zalmay khalilzad to Kabul as ambassador as he talks honestly and knows the conspiracies of the conspirators but this is hard for them. One should understand that lies have no feet to stand upon and facts are forever facts.

Abolition of FCR welcomed

pdc — Sun, 30 Mar 2008 07:40:26 +0000

Peshawar:March 30,2008
Pashtun Democratic Council well come the announcement of the Prime Minister Syed Yosaf Raza Gillani concerning abolition of the FCR(Frontier Crime Regulations) and termed it a historic decision which certianly pleased the Pashtun Tribes ,who have been as slaves for the last 100 years.Pashtun Tribals are not different from the other Pashtun living in other parts of Pashtunkhwa.But it is a pity that Islamabad had kept them with her like slaves and did nothing good for them except blaming them as pro-extremist and terrorist forces,which we Pashtun strongly disown and reject.FCR is inhuman and draconian law,in which Political Agent plays the role of Dracola and the blood of the Pashtun has been drinking by the bureaucracy in Islamabad for the last 60 years.We wanted to request to Nelson Mandela to come to tribal areas and wage a war against the black and inhuman law of APERTHEID imposed on Pashtun tribes.International community should not believe in what the bureaucracy of Pakistan telling them about tribales as the said forces use the region as a meadow where they are grazing and eating money like animals eat grass.Keeping people as tribales in 21st century is insult to humanity.All the conflicts in tribal areas are self made and Agencies are playing the role to sabotage the peace there and turn Pashtun against each other to stop them from thinking of Pashtun National Unity and use this area as a shield to protect extremists and terrorists for the nefarious designs to fulfill and catch fish in troubled waters without the consent of the tribales as tribales have no role in the drama staged by the establishment.The extremist and fundamentalist forces and other are the guests of Agencies and tribales are not having any relationship with them as we all know that even a leaf can not shake without the will of the Political administration in FATA,then how can a foreign guest will be kept there without the permission of the political administration?.Now the tribals have stood up to get their political and democratic rights.The government of Yousaf Raza Gillani should not listen to Maulana Fazal Rehman about FCR.PM and his allied parties should stand firm on their decision about the abolition of FCR as the coming generations of the Pashtun will remember this decision in good words.On this occasion we will have to remember the political struggles of those Pashtun Political Praties and individuals who have left no stone unturned to abolish this black law.
Hats off to them all and Pashtun history will remember them with respect and honour.
