Abstract
The Baloch issue in the contemporary history is becoming
more and more salient considering the geopolitical and strategic
importance of the region. Particularly in Pakistan this issue becomes
crucial for the future of the whole region since almost majority of the
worldwide Baloch live in that country. Are the Baloch entitled to
have their own state, as it is argued by the Baloch nationalist?
To address these questions, this paper seeks to place the current
Baloch problem in the broader context of history, regional relations
and the geopolitics in the South Asia. Examining the experiences that
the Baloch have undergone since the advent of the British Raj, the
paper discusses its implications for the Balochs’ struggle to the right
to self-determination. At last, attempt will be made to explain and
analyze, why the Baloch have remained a forgotten people among
the world community.
