Abstract
This article is an attempt to elaborate upon the journalistic contributions of Mir Yousaf Aziz Magsi who broke the ice against the British colonial governance in Balochistan, writing an article, Faryad-e-Balochistan, in a Lahore weekly. He was fined and detained but did not give up writing, and financing newspapers. He wrote in several newspapers including Hamdard, Zamindar, Inqilab and many more, he also financed many newspapers from Karachi, Delhi and Lahore, such as Azad, Al Baloch, Balochistan Jadeed and Nijat, while political expressions were curbed in Balochistan. Furthermore, this paper will discuss Magsi’s political awakening of the masses through various means like articles in newspapers, pamphlets (Balochistan Ki Awaz and Shams Gardi) and the All India Baloch Conferences. Thus, Magsi’s journalism can be termed as an epitome of fearless revolutionay journalism.
