Sardars And Their Role In Tribal Society Of Balochistan

(Ayesha Nadir , District Khuzdar )

The word serdar means the head . Serdars are the tribal heads of their various tribes . In Balochistan there are more than one hundred tribal heads. Some are active and others are only by name serdars .Every active serdar has TAKARIES working for their benefits . now I will try to make you aware about their functions. Active serdars are those who have full support of establishment , by providing them well equipped armed personals with sophisticated and latest arms and ammunition. They show off their armed men as their men power strength in cities and tribal meetings , to terrify the people, otherwise they have no genuine support of their tribesmen due to their dishonesty towards balochi code of honor and terrorist activties.

The ancient history of tribalism shows that serdari was not an ancestor system likewise our political system. sardars were always elected by the tribesmen keeping in view their sincerity towards code of honor in tribal society, justice and loyal to their tribes men .but present serdars are neither elected nor they have tribal support. yes some of them are puppets of establishment .

• The serdars always are in touch with their TAKARIES and other reporters. They get information about the tribal activities also the activities of neighboring tribes . the details of avenge and revenges only promote criminal activties to show their artificial dignity.
• They have only challenge from educated persons. They get details of educated and warrior people of their tribe. They issue instructions to their Takaries how to discourage the education and encourage the warriors and criminals . I would like to mention that the central government has always provided handsome funds for the development of province, but the serdars with the help of establishment have always used these funds only for their personal development . Their children are reading in abroad, but ban on education of public , nab and other agencies of the country have never investigated about these funds, because they are passengers of same ship.
• Therefore, the serdars promote illiteracy, make the people unaware about their rights. This is the logic that serdars never support educated society . their first and foremost action is against the education . Firstly they give advantage to the school teachers not to attend the schools and get their pay at home they will fully support them with the help of corrupt establishment . Secondly they motivate the parents don’t waste the time of children in schools , after education they will not be able to work in the field and assist their parents in agriculture and grazing of flocks also will never be useful to tribal society .Thirdly our main tribal source is to create warriors and brave persons , the educated persons never become warrior and brave , coward population will be shame for whole tribe and the serdar . Fourthly the main and important advice to their Takaries is that let the people be illiterate and attend their guests and wash their hands also take /carry their weapon, if they get education, they will never follow them ,then none be available to serve voluntarily ,then their yes men and Takaries will be responsible to render these services . Therefore, their criminal persons and Takaries use their influence towards illiteracy .

If you survey Balochistan Province, you must see children getting education under the shadow of trees in ruined rooms . one can say in the residences of ghosts at their own struggle , but government has never provided them facility of education , neither serdars have encouraged ,health and drinking water is an other main problem of this province. The females get water from 300 feet deep wells in the pots by pulling it with ropes from the distance of 3 to 5 Kilometers. This is always done by women only. Women education is always abused by serdars. They show it as dishonor for tribe. All funds of education, health and drinking water are misappropriated by these serdar/so called MPs,MNAs and SENATERS made by the secrete hands.

Health facility is equal to nil , no qualified doctor is available in 1000 population, question of medicine does not arise . Electricity is only written and read in the books in the interior of this province. Their livelihood is mostly on livestock or when Allah bless on the earth with rain. They can only grow some wheat , 80% of population of this province is living hand to mouth. poverty is dancing every where. The Prophet Mohammad (S.A.W.S) has mentioned in a hadith. That poverty is KUFR (denial of all morals). This is the nut shell of Balochistan and its inhabitants .on the other hand 55 minerals of the world are found in this province Including 700 km of coast, rich with sea food. gas, petrol, copper , gold , sulphur , byrite , chromites , Onex , coal , etc in huge quantity have been explored in this province, but no facility is available in any part of this province, but the cities and villages of other than Balochistan at the distance of 1000 km are enjoying it. But the local people facing hunger, despite being rich.

Now I will again touch the tribal system of Serdars. They always get advantages from establishment in the shape of pecuniary, force and white collar.

Every serdar is provided fatal weapon by the government with 100 and more armed persons with vehicles , fuel and other daily expenses also handsome pay to all armed persons . they use this force against the people to wards illiteracy and slavery in 21ST century , Logic behind this is that only serdar is shown patriotic and population insurgent . now serdar uses their tactics first of all to make obstacle in education and grow more poverty+ illiteracy , their iron grip on population with the help of establishment becomes more strong.

The serdar play dual role in the society. First to instigate the illiterate persons to come face to face with army and demand equity and funds for development otherwise take weapon and hold stretch in the mountains on the other hand play game with establishment only they are loyal to the state get more power and more advantages to counter the rebel.

In this game the foolish establishment gives them free hand. They kidnap the educated persons and get handsome money for their release otherwise kill them and throw their dead bodies in the mountains or bury them collectively ,then they claim and show to establishment that they are countering the insurgency beside the army and claim more advantages to strengthen their position.


All the problems are created by the serdars and establishment otherwise the sincerity of baloch population is more patriotic than serdars without getting any advantage except education. If government take back their illegitimate support to serdars , none of his tribes men will shake hand with them

I would like to suggest the government make serdars un armed and take back the illegal support of government and render same services to the population i.e education, health agriculture like other parts of Pakistan. you will see a positive change in the society and backward province of Balochistan will soon change into developed province of Pakistan . this province is able to feed the other parts of Pakistan .Talent is existing in the province loyalty is 100 % . but conspiracy of serdars have made blind the establishment. Kindly open your eyes and see the facts.

I will expose each serdar and his individual role. how he conspires with establishment and government and creates insurgency/rebel in the province and why.
Must read the next episode.
Thanks for Concentration.
