Gwadar History

Gwadar History

Who knows today that a great woman with an everlasting love and self-sacrifice for Pakistan fought a legal battle with her rival four world powers and annexed the most important coastal state like Gwadar covering an area of ​​more than 1.5 million acres in Pakistan. ۔

The combination of the two Balochi words gawat meaning open-air and dar meaning door, commonly known as Gwadar, was under the unjust occupation of global colonialism until 1956, the story of which is a rare example of grace, forgetfulness and decency.

Gwadar State was owned by Mir Naseer Noori Baloch, Khan of Kalat in the 18th century, but it was proving difficult for Khan to maintain his control over the area due to the insurgency of the Gachki tribes. The rulers had lived and wanted to get it back.

Khan resolved that under an agreement the control of the area should be handed over to the Gachki people so that peace could prevail in the area. Under the agreement, it was decided that the area belonged to the Khan of Kalat. Will remain and half of its revenue will also be given to Khan Sahib but its management will remain in the hands of the entire Gachki tribes, this treaty lasted till 1783.

In 1783, the ruler of Oman was defeated by his brother and fled. He sought refuge with the Khan of Kalat. Accepting his request, he handed over the 2400-square-mile enclave to the Sultan of Oman under a new treaty. given.

Under the new agreement, it was decided that Gwadar would remain in the estate of the Khan of Kalat as per the constitution and its control would remain with the former Gachki chiefs, except for the half of the revenue which goes to Khan. It will now be given as a goodwill gesture to the Sultan of Oman so that he can pass his time easily. However, when the Sultan no longer needs this refuge, all his rights will go back to the former Khan of Kalat. ۔

About fifteen years later, after the re-conquest of Oman, the Sultan returned to his throne, but as usual he kept Gwadar in his hands. Khan Sahib may have died during this time or he did not ask for possession. However, about ten years later When the Sultan died, Khan's heirs demanded his extradition to Gwadar.

On the refusal of the government of Oman, they seized it by force, which was rescued by the Sultan's army. In the next twenty years, when the flashbacks escalated, the British Colonial Administration intervened to settle the matter under the pretext of mediation, but instead of doing justice. Taking some privileges for himself from the then Sultan of Oman, he temporarily rejected the Kalat family's claim, saying that some other evidence was coming before them that the area had long been the domain of the Sultan of Oman. Not in favor of anyone.

In return for this service, the British political agent agreed with the Sultanate of Oman that Gwadar would remain under British control until a final decision was made and, as before, Oman would be paid half of Gwadar's revenue and send its forces into Gwadar. The British occupied the area for a hundred years.

After the formation of Pakistan, when the then Khan of Kalat annexed his manor to Pakistan, Pakistan raised the issue of Gwadar with stakeholders but no hearing was held, then when a US survey company said that the port of Gwadar was used for large ships. It is ideal for anchoring. In addition, millions of tons of exportable seafood can be obtained annually from this port which contains 35 species of fish.

When the rumor spread to Iran, they decided to associate it with Chah-e-Bihar. In those days, the Shah of Iran was a parrot in Iran and the CIA was his backer who continued to attack Britain through President Nixon. There was pressure to hand over Gwadar to the Shah of Iran.

When Malik Feroze Khan Noon took over the Foreign Ministry in 1956, he vowed to relinquish Gwadar at all costs and handed over the mission to her after a careful review of all historical facts and documents.

In these critical circumstances, this woman of sincerity emerged as a champion and started lobbying Pakistan in the UK. She did her homework and put the case before the UK so that the occupation of Gwadar could be taken back with the approval of the House of Lords. The family's estate was now owned by Pakistan, so Pakistan's right to inherit this part of their estate should now be recognized, as well as the fact that Pakistan has abolished all estates that were distributed by the British government on the basis of revenue sharing or compensation. Also, if we abolish the Gwadar fiefdom by our own law and renounce military aggression, then Britain, being a member of the Commonwealth, cannot even attack us.

She won the two-year war with pen, argument, and negotiation, rather than the sword, in which the British Prime Minister Macmillan, a friend of Malik Sahib, played a key role, with Sultan Saeed bin Timur of Oman supporting So he filled it but hinted at a bargain.

When Malik Sahib became the Prime Minister, he chanted the slogan "Not now or never" in the case of Gwadar. After six months of nerve-wracking negotiations, Oman agreed to hand over control of Gwadar to Pakistan for 3 million. Most of this money was donated by Prince Karim Aga Khan
The rest of the money was paid by the government of Pakistan, in some places, it is said that the whole amount was paid by His Highness Prince Karim Aga Khan.

In this regard, Malik Sahib writes in his autobiography "Eyewitness" that where there is a problem of security and dignity of the country, the price is not seen, anyway, this amount will be recovered from Gwadar's income in just a few years. Today, when Pakistan's High Commissioner to the UK, Ikramullah, handed me the signed document for the transfer of Gwadar, you cannot imagine the joy I felt at that time, because as long as Gwadar was in the hands of a foreigner, It was as if we were living in a house whose back room was in the possession of a stranger and this stranger could sell it to an enemy of Pakistan at any time and that enemy would also pay the biggest amount for this deal. can do.

Thus, after a full two years of war, on September 8, 1958, 2400 square miles or more than 1.5 million acres of Gwadar became part of Pakistan.

In 2002, General Musharraf planned to build the Gwadar Port, which has gone through various stages and has now taken the form of a CPEC and undoubtedly augurs well for Pakistan.

Today, everyone wants to take credit for Gwadar Port and CPEC, but no one knows the name of this great benefactor of Pakistan who fought a fierce battle with four powerful stakeholders of the world, British Parliament, CIA, Iran and Oman. Lost Gwadar put back in the swing of Pakistan.

The people who come out of the study of Pakistan promote the prophecies against Pakistan only so that the new generation will not be affected by these unique personalities of Tehreek-e-Pakistan who have left indelible imprints by making the construction of Pakistan their faith. Terrible study is Pakistan which makes some people sweat.

Look at another high-ranking official that in a country where even a tap is played and its drum is beaten in front of the entire nation, these high-ranking personalities did not celebrate their unparalleled success nationwide just because of the self-respect of the Sultan of Oman. Don't get hurt, that is why the people today do not know this genius working couple nor are they aware of this great deed of theirs.

This benefactor of the country and nation who conquered Gwadar is Mohtarma Waqarul Nisa Noon who is the second wife of the 7th Prime Minister of Pakistan Malik Feroze Khan Noon. ۔

Her former name was Victoria Rekhi, she was born in Austria, she was educated in the UK, she met Malik Feroz Khan Noon when he was the High Commissioner of Government of India in the UK, at the invitation of Malik Sahib, he converted to Islam and went to Bombay. I married her and changed my name from Victoria to Vikar Nisa Nun, affectionately known as Vicky Nun.

She organized several women's groups to highlight the Tehreek-e-Pakistan and was arrested three times in the civil disobedience movement for organizing protests and processions against the British Khidr Hayat cabinet.

After the formation of Pakistan, she played a very active role in the care of the stranded refugees. You are also one of the founding members of APWA, the first women's welfare organization. She also founded Waqarul Nisa Girls College Rawalpindi and Waqarul Nisa School Dhaka. Perform valuable services for Ahmar. In the time of Zia-ul-Haq, as a Minister, he attracted the whole world towards Pakistan for the promotion of tourism. Pakistan Tourism Development Corporation is one of his signs.

His love for Pakistan did not wane in his old age. When his childless sister's property in the UK was transferred to him, he set up the "Wiki Noon Education Foundation" with this fund, which still lights the lamp of social services. Has happened

According to her will, a portion of the fund is spent on educating poor but gifted students from institutions such as Oxford who are willing to return and serve the country.

Ms. Waqarul Nisa Noon met her real creator on January 16, 2000, after a long illness. After performing an Umrah, she bequeathed to me not to be left in the lurch, but to perform my burial like a devout Muslim.

She did not have any children of her own, her real children are Pakistanis who are following in her footsteps in patriotism.

She was awarded the highest civilian honor of the government in 1959 for her conquest of Gwadar, but her real reward is the honor and respect we as a nation can give her.

According to Our Beacons and a New Age article, there is no Prime Minister, no President, no General, no Minister, no Adviser, no Ambassador who can take this great credit for conquering Gwadar.

Former Federal Secretary for Information Rashid Chaudhry says that she was a "kind mother" who loved us more than a real mother. She brought us Gwadar, the Gwadar that is the center of attention all over the world today.

Hello Ms. Waqar Al-Nisa Noon
Hello dear mother.
