Every action has an equal and oppsite reaction. Application of this scientific nation can also be observed in human nature and socity. when a state uses ideiolgy and b rutal froce to crush political dissent, the society evolves a counter culture of reisitance, equally brutal in nature, in response to the repression.

since the forced annexing of westren balochistan by iran in 1928, iran has been ruled by absolute monarchy , followed by fascist thecracy in 1979, fundamentally, the iranian rulers have always suppressed the freedoms and rights of the Baloch people no matter what state ideology they adopted. shah of iran suppressed baloch based on the idea of persain hegemony, while the ayatollahs added the religous shia factor to it.

Shaheed Mir Dost Mohammad Khan Baranzai raised the banner of freedom to iranian occuptaoin in the early 1920s until his executaion in 1928 by the iranian rulers. peoples’ aspiration for independence continue until today, Many baloch have sacrificed their life ofn the call of the montherland, and abdol Malik Regi was one of them.
