Why November 13 Is Commemorated?
The day of 13 November, marks when the Colonial British empire invaded Balochistan in 1839. The British empire tried to occupy Balochistan and destroy its sovereignty to make it her colony. The Baloch nation under the leadership of Mir Mehrab Khan didn’t agree over the occupation rather he resisted and fought the coloniser to hold Balochistan’s independence and sovereignty. In the battle against coloniser in Kalat, Mir Mehrab Khan along with his brave companions got martyrdom while resisting instead of bowing their heads to the occupier. There began a chapter of Balochistan’s occupation, after withdrawing of British empire, the occupying Pakistani state invaded the Baloch state and forcibly occupied it. Since the 13 November, 1839, Baloch nation has been living under occupation but from first day Baloch resisted and took the philosophy of sacrifice while resistance the occupiers. This legacy of sacrifice continues till today, where hundreds of thousands Baloch people are sacrificing themselves to protect their motherland Balochistan’s freedom and sovereignty.
The philosophy of sacrifice
Baloch as a nation never bowed to the foreign invaders, rather they fought back and protected their ancestral land like other sovereign states. In the long history of Baloch nation, many foreign invaders including Portugal colonisers, Persian empire, Arab invaders, Turk aggressors, Roman Empire, British empire to the modern history of occupying Pakistani state, tried to occupy and subdue the Baloch state and make it their colony or hub of exploitation, but Baloch never sold their freedom rather they resisted and wrote the philosophy of sacrifice from their blood. Their are various ancestral heroes like Hammal e Jeeyand, Baloch Khan, Dad Shah, Shahoo, Meer Bahram Khan, Hussain Khan and the great Mir Mehrab Khan, they fought for the self defence of national sovereignty and freedom, got martyred but laid the foundation of national resistance and sacrifice. This legacy of sacrifice echoes in every individual of Baloch nation.
The Baloch Martyrs’ Day
Baloch commemorates 13 November as Baloch Martyrs day, the day is rooted from the historic sacrifice of Mir Mehrab Khan along with his companions for the protection of Baloch sovereignty. This day is declared by Baloch Students Organisation Azad in 2010 to honour the souls who sacrificed their existence for the national cause. Since then the Baloch nation commemorates this day as Baloch martyrs day to tribute the fallen heroes of Baloch national struggle and remember them for their ultimate sacrifice. To tribute and honour their feats, Baloch nation holds remembrance sessions, sings heroic songs and vows to carry on their legacy. We believe, the one who sacrificed themselves for the greater cause of dignity, freedom and peace for their nation are “Nameeran”, immortal. They may have left us physically but their feats and philosophy are rooted deep in our memories.
#13NovBalochMartyrsDay
The fallen comrades of Baloch national struggle who sacrificed their personal existence for the greater cause of Balochistan. They were not only politically conscious but well educated youths having intellect skills to participate in the decolonisation process. They turned their intellects into hard but greater path of actions and became symbols of national resistance in the long history of Baloch nation.
BSO pays richest tribute to the young Baloch who turned their intellects into national duty and became immortal.

Our movement's memory is carried not only in its political history, but in the lives, conviction,and unfinished aspirations of those it has lost during this struggle while resisting the colonial force
