Abstract
There are many historical events, places, personalities and institutions which have played a remarkable role for the betterment of nations in the world. The land of Balochistan also has same stories, events and most importantly an institution which changed the life and ideology of the people. Maktabha-eDurkhani is a famous institution and known for the huge services performed during the British occupation in Balochistan. In 1839 the British attacked and captured Balochistan for the fulfillment of her forward policy and after the treaty of Mastung 1876 they had a complete command and total influence in the affairs of Kalat. Then they focused on the religion. The Britishers plan was to promote Christianity in Brahui and Baloch speaking areas so ethically it was not suitable for British authorities to move such a movement which could directly affect the religion of the people. Baloch people were unable to raise their voices against such an act because they had no school of thought and no such a leadership which could gather them against the British conspiracy. When people were hopeless, the Maktabha-e-Durkhani took the responsibility and came forward for the safeguard of Islam and led the Baloch people towards a secured faith. Maktabha-e-Durkhani fulfilled its responsibilities by publishing a number of Books in Balochi and Brahui languages and paid its services for showing the right path to the people of Balochistan. The following research work is based on the literature work and other services of this institution
