According to prominent Baloch freedom movement activist Mazdak Dilshad Baloch, the lullabies of Baloch mothers 'are the only source of history lesson for the new generation' of their people.
"As per Pakistani text books, Balochistan is a barbaric nation and Baloch people are barbarians who fight among themselves. That's what they (Pakistan) teach their kids, a manipulated history of Balochistan," Mazdak said
The issue of manipulated history in text books was also raised in the Pakistan Parliament earlier this year, after the 12th standard sociology books defined Baloch as 'uncivilised people who engage in murder and looting'.
"There is total crackdown on journalists, lawyers, doctors, engineers, students. The figure of missing people has crossed 25,000 and about 25 Baloch journalists have been killed. They are killing our intellectuals, educated ones who could take us forward in the future," said Mazdak, who was in the Indian capital.
He said most of the Baloch leaders and intellectuals are either dead, underground or have fled Pakistan fearing for their life.
