Tanzeem Building

 

To begin with I think it is needed to illustrate a little about what the history is. There are two common methodologies to express one’s ideas. One is to begin with the end and second is to start ideas to the end. Here if I take start about the history of a thing with a subject, the history in few words is a  changing process of a time during which, recorded outcome appears. Tanzeem Nasle Nau Hazara Mughal when founded in 1965 had not had any history but the background of the process for making history did exist. Today we hear a lot about the word ‘HAZARA’, but let me venture to say that only associating with this word, it is not possible to make history thereof in a house or through a web net. If I am not wrong, it is the people who process the history through a collective efforts or mass movement. An individual wishing to produce history can not do it through his writings only or mere ideas. If one wish to become maker of a history, it would be possible through continued and consistent struggle for collective cause. Human beings are said to be a social animal. However, going through the history of the Tanzeem Nasl-e-Nau Hazara Mughal, there is no doubt, it was formed through resolution of a meeting but made history through passage of the time, through the process and sacrifices. There was a time when nobody could think of the word “Hazara”, even a Hazara himself used to feel shame, portraying himself to be a Hazara. I am not interested to involve myself in the word Hazara literally as where it comes from, what meaning it has rooted to, when it appeared to be used as the name of a people in a collective form and finally why this name has become the identity of a people. These are all, as I believe, the question that answer should be traced through academic research and it is not in my reach here. What makes me say is that the identity of a people relates to the memory of that people. And it is an admitted fact that memory and identity is interlinked phenomenon in the sense that it is the memory, which construct the past and it is the past which produce your identity. That is why the Israeli psychologist Denal Bryne has said that the Jews born with the memory of Holocaust differs in their attitude from those who is born today. It really matters because the Hazara’s, who carrying the memory of Abdur Rahman’s atrocities, would certainly make difference in their approach about the realities of life, comparatively to those who are born today having no traces of their past sufferings, occurred during Abdur Rahman’s time.

Thus it is in my memory that while having a journey to Iran and Iraq; when I was a student of 9th class, my existence turned up to be cared about, to be targeted for and to be discriminated against by calling “Oh Barbary” meaning Barbarian. It is in my memory which making my belief and idealizing my concept to have a realistic approach, convinced me about this philosophy of collective life that “You are I am” and “I am you are”. And finally it is in my memory which resounding in my mind, put question mark, Who I am? Where the word “Hazara” explaining my identity came from? And where my identity as a Hazara is rooted to in the history.

To find out answers to these questions, it merged into my dream to launch a movement for the establishment of an organization within my own people, by my people and through my people to enjoy equal rights in the globalized society. As a result, in the aftermath of my metric exam held in 1964, I started taking initiative by laying foundation through a football club, and to accomplish my dream into reality, I put up a resolution to achieve my target for the existence of a national organization. As such Tanzeem Nasl-e-Nau Hazara Mughal came into being and making a history for the slogan “We are, but one Hazara”, started taking its roots amongst the forgotten people “The Hazara” in the streets of Quetta.

Today if we hear this voice raised all over the world that “To be called a Hazara must not be treated as a crime any more” proclaimed by Ustad Mazarai, it is the continuation of that commitment which remained vibrant through the eventful efforts, through the strenuous strife and through the sincere sacrifices made by this organization. It is the outcome of that slogan which was echoed long ago in 1965 in response to the question asking that, where my identity is rooted to in the history. It is resonant of that memory resounded in the history to which I belong to and discriminated for, it is the desire for, to live with dignity, which constituted aims and ambitions for every human being to find a just place in the global community.

Ever since Tanzeem Nasl-e-Nau Hazara Mughal came into being, we have played our role to achieve our goal through the strategy of services to our people, through struggle for equality of brotherhood and through interaction with mankind on humanitarian basis. To get at this end I have declared my full devotion with this commitment that until I die, I will continue to remain in service to my people's bright and prosperous future.

Tanzeem Nasle Nau Hazara Mughal is now a well established organization, representing Hazara people in multi sectorial field of life. It has splendid track record of activities ranging ahead with dynamic vision toward a specific goal. The committed sustainable services rendered for Hazara’s through this setup has integrated national characteristic status into mainstream of global society. Today Tanzeem has become a recognized paradigm in the epistemology of Hazara by maintaining a cohesive historical process. It have substantiated the conceptual approach of our national entity, and its viable achievement.

As for today, Tanzeem has grown very well physically, beginning with a small rented room in 1965, now it has a total assets of worth more than 35 million Rs., which include its central offices building, high school, community hall, sports gym, a technical training center for women, a primary school to be up graded to middle standard this year, 25 number of shops plus ten rental rooms leased to public against fixed monthly payment (our only source of permanent income to meet our recurring expenditure). In view of financial set backs, so far, the participation in the reconstruction of Afghanistan is just a token one, limited to launching of a computer literacy and English language Teaching center in Kabul and one primary schools in Aliabad of Qundos which always remains at the risk of saboteurs.
