OBITUARY BY A MURAD JAN BALOCH



Sher Muhammad Marri also known as Babu Shero, Shero Marri, General Sherof and Baluchi Tiger. Here sitting in a Giddan, traditional Baloch tent, with Kalashnikovs and bullets.
Babu Shero died on 11 May 1993 in a Mumbai (then Bombay) hospital, in India, due to illness.

He was the first Baloch who gave the Baloch armed struggle a new shape by following the tactics of modern guerilla warfare. In early 1960s his Parari (fighters) formations attacked the Pakistani Federal forces in Marri area and in Jahlawan under Mir Ali Muhammad Mengal, the second in command of General Shero.

Once, when Shero came to his village, after years of fighting, his villagers came to greet him including his son, his son was grown up Shero not recognized him. Then the son said that I am your son, Shero replied, that’s good that your are not a son of any other person.

Babu Shero was a military commander who loved alcohol, tobacco and an expert on Marxist literature.
But, during last days of his life, Shero and his former comrades broke apart, that time, 1990’s, there was a big confusion between Baloch partisans.

“I have seen a little Baloch girl who was sold in punjab by pakistani soldiers for just 5 rupees…..we are slaves….””

Scripts from General Shero’s interview by Channel 4, London, 1980’s.
