History
Progressive movements, which emerged during the colonial rule of the former British India,
split after the Partition in 1947 according to the division into India and Pakistan; together with
these progressive movements nationalist forces in Balochistan and other provinces of the new
state grew also stronger; in West Pakistan these movements rallied to the National Party in
1956; one of its constituent organizations was the Sindh Awami Mahaz of Ghulam M. Sayed;
a merger with organizations from East Pakistan led to the formation of the National Awami
Party (NAP) in 1957; constituting itself as the progressive alternative to the ruling Muslim
League the NAP aimed at reforms and at a break of the alliance with the United States; in
common with other political parties the NAP was banned after the coup d'état of Ayub Khan
in 1958; in the 1960s the party revived and after the elections of 1970 the NAP participated in
some provincial governments; in 1975 the NAP was again banned by the Bhutto government.

INTRODUCTION
Historical backgrounds
Progressive movements, which emerged during the colonial rule of the former British India,
split after the Partition in 1947 according to the division into India and Pakistan.
After the creation of Pakistan in 1947 the progressive and nationalist forces in Balochistan
intensified their efforts to link up with forces in other provinces which sought progressive
social change and an equitable federal system which would respect the autonomy of the
provinces and historical rights of the nationalities inhabiting the territory of the new state. As
a result of these efforts the National Party came into existence in West Pakistan in 1956-1957.
It included the remnants of the Kalat National Party, the Asthman Gal of Prince Agha Abdul
Karim and the Wrore Pukhtoon of Abdus Samad Achakzai from Balochistan, the Khudai
Khidmatgar (Red Shirt) Movement of Abdul Ghafar Khan in the North-West Frontier
Province (NWFP), the Sindh Awami Mahaz of G.M. Sayed and the Sindh Hari Committee of
Haider Bux Jatoi in Sindh and the Azad Pakistan Party of Mian Iftikharuddin, based primarily
in the Punjab. A few months later the Bhashani faction of the Awami League and Ganatantri
Dal of Mahmud Ali and Sardar Fazlul Karim from East Pakistan (present Bangladesh) merged
with the National Party to form the National Awami Party (NAP) in 1957.
The NAP became the only all Pakistan and the sole progressive alternative to the corrupt and
reactionary Muslim League which had ruled the country for most part since the Independence.
The NAP, which was opposed to Pakistan's alliance with the United States and wanted
progressive reforms, was expected to perform well in the country's first general elections
scheduled for early 1959. But these elections were prevented by Ayub Khan's coup d'état in
1958 and all political parties were banned. When Ayub allowed political parties again in
1962, the NAP was revived with all of its old components except the G.M. Sayed group and
Ganatantri Dal. At the end of 1967 the NAP split between Bhashani and Wali Khan factions,
while the peasant wing of the party in the NWFP, led by Afzal Bangash, formed a separate
Mazdoor Kisan Party (MKP). Bizenjo, Khair Bux Mari, Attaulah Mengal and the rest of the
Balochistan party went with Wali Khan. In the 1970 general elections the NAP (Wali)
emerged with the largest number of seats in the NWFP and Balochistan assemblies. With the
separation of East Pakistan the Bhashani faction of the NAP ceased to exist in the truncated
Pakistan and the Wali faction alone came to be known as NAP. It formed provincial
governments in two of the four provinces, in coalition with the Jamiat-ul-Ulema-i-Islam of
Mufti Mahmood. Bizenjo became the Governor and Mengal the Chief Minister of
Balochistan. This Ministry was, however, dismissed arbitrarily by the people's party-led
central government, and the NWFP government resigned in protest in 1973.
In 1975 the Bhutto government banned the NAP, arrested its leaders and subjected them to a
sedition trial in a special tribunal.
The collection and its arrangement
The collection Progressive Movements in Pakistan was received by the IISH in 1997 and
1998. The collection, which will be supplemented in the near future, has been created by
Ahmad Saleem of the Gohar Research Institute of Pakistan (GRIP) in Lahore. It consists of a
great many documents, photocopies as well as originals, in Urdu, Sindhi and English of
political parties, workers' unions and movements of peasants, students and (regional)
nationalists. Furthermore some personal papers of various persons are included. However,
because of their quantity and the accruals to be expected, the papers of G.M. Sayed have been
described separately. The arrangement and description of the documents, which has been
started by Ahmad Saleem in 1998, was completed in 1999. A video tape has been transferred
to the audiovisual section of the IIHS.
