Pathan aur Baloch by M Anwar Roman PDF Free Download
Pathan aur Baloch by M Anwar Roman. This book provides very important information about the Pathan and Baloch nations in Urdu language. The book is the Urdu translation of the English book “A Cross The Borders OR Pathan and Baloch” by Edward E. Oliver, which was printed in 1890. At that time, the British government in the frontier provinces was relatively new. Therefore, on the one hand, the British were strengthening it internally, and on the other hand, they were carefully examining the areas and countries that came into its context externally. These included Iran, Afghanistan, and our tribal areas.
They were organising survey parties one after another, preparing maps of these areas, and conducting diplomatic relations. They were sending their scholars to these places and also sending young military officers who were friendly to knowledge and risk-taking to study and inspect them. The aim was to gather as much information as possible about these unknown and unexplored regions and their inhabitants so that they could gain insight and guidance for future political and military relations. Oliver was also one of these researchers. He has here drawn a brief sketch of the Baloch (only in the first seven chapters) and then examined the north-western region in detail.
Before starting writing, he had thoroughly understood the geographical and physical divisions, had looked at the ethnic composition of the inhabitants of the region and their distribution, had studied their language, history, and culture, had looked at their relations (pleasant or unpleasant) with the British government, had assessed their personal, especially their fighting power and had considered their merits and demerits, their psychology, and their potential. Did a comparative study of one community and another community.
In short, he had examined every aspect of the tribes’ lives and thus prepared a book that is becoming increasingly important with the passage of time. The fact is that this book, like some others, is a rich source of information.
