The War Is Not Over
Author: Nadir Baloch
The history is full of blood shades in the fight between the darkness and the light, Evil and the Good, Right and the wrong, oppressed and the oppressors. In the light of Charles Darwin’s theory of the “survival of the fittest”, Life is a continuation of a struggle, ups, and downs, rise, and fall. It will go on and on until the last survivor. Every character in it is to face the day when his or her War is over.
The Non-fiction or fiction writing is based on the same line of plotting. It starts from the first man and will end to the last man. Heroes born and keep on dying but their ideology survives. The war continues and nations keep on fighting against the occupiers, oppressors, injustice, poverty, atrocities. The world is for the fittest, life has a continuous threat from death, and the truth from the lie, light has it from the darkness. All this is about the survival of the fittest and those who try to fight it are the heroes and this will continue till the last.
Universe has to witness it happening for the fittest. War is a part of everything, it’s happening in the surroundings all the time, and within the inner self of the life, the fight is only over when death takes over. Once we find that everything is about a war, and then it’s not going to confuse the life, we would know misjudgment; fear of loss is part of the game.
Charles Darwin 1809 described that it’s not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the more intelligent, but the one more responsive to change, the biological concept of fitness is defined as reproductive success. In Darwinian terms, the phrase is best understood as “Survival of the form that will leave the most copies of itself in successive generations”. “Herbert Spencer first used the phrase, after reading Charles Darwin’s On the Origin of Species, in his Principles of Biology (1864), in which he drew parallels between his own economic theories and Darwin’s biological ones: “This survival of the fittest, which I have here sought to express in mechanical terms, is that which Mr Darwin has called ‘natural selection’, or the preservation of favoured races in the struggle for life.” He responded positively to Alfred Russel Wallace’s suggestion of using Spencer’s new phrase “survival of the fittest” as an alternative to “natural selection”, and adopted the phrase in The Variation of Animals and Plants under Domestication published in 1868.
Now it has been more than a century and a half from 1839 starting from the British colonialism and seventy plus from 28 March 1948, Baloch as a nation is struggling for its identity and freedom. Thousands of youth, men, women, and children have sacrificed themselves to compete for a race, Survival of the fittest. A century or more it took the voices to reach the latest technologies, even now a complete blackout can be observed on media and tables of the great powers. The secular nation Baloch is facing heinous crimes against humanity, systematic genocide. Life in Balochistan is worse than a hell. The youth, students, intellectuals, teachers, doctors, political and human rights defenders are facing kill and dump policies of the state, fortunate families get the dead bodies after a month, a year or two, but unfortunate are considered those who are waiting for years. Many stopped waiting as an average life expectancy has been completed in the disappearance.
Balochistan and the Baloch nation is the true examples of Charles Darwin’s theory, this nation has to face the genocide, atrocities, ignorance from the international community, civilized world, and from the so-called human rights organizations and rights champions until the struggle of the nation or the War against slavery, cruelty, is over and succeed against injustice and oppressors.
