Some interesting facts about Balochistan –

Balochistan is recently in news due to PM mentioning in his 15th Aug speech.

You will be surprised to know that out of total 1.31 crore population of this province around 20 lac population is of Marathi descendants. This province was forcefully merged with Pakistan in 1948. Since then there were 4 major revolt for independence in Balochistan. Three were led by people of Marathi descendants.

How these people of Marathi descendants went and settled in Balochistan?

In the third battle of Panipat, Marathas were defeated. It is estimated that around fifty to seventy five thousand soldiers of Pune’s Peshwas were imprisoned and taken to Balochistan which was part of Afghanistan as slaves.
These people are even today known by following names –
1. Peshwani Maratha (relatives of Peshwas who were captured. It was assumed that one of the brother of then Peshwa was also captured and taken to Balochistan)
2. Bugti Maratha
3. Kalpar Maratha
4. Nothani Maratha
5. Shambani Maratha
6. Mosani Maratha
7. Shau Maratha
There are 20 such castes which ends with Maratha. They are linked to caste system of then Maharashtra.

People of these caste even today call their mother as ?? (what Marathis call their mother) and not ammijan. They worship Shivaji Maharaj and Peshwas even today.

Whenever reference of Maratha or slogan like ?? ?? ?????? or like are heard in Bollywood movies they stand and give such slogans.

Considering above, the development in Balochistan would be interesting to watch and observe as they are related to our own people who are leading the battle.

The above information can be verified based on around 20 books written by eminent historians in Marathi.
