Abstract
This research paper depicts the (origin) as well as the (roots) of the Baloch plus Baloch relations with the Mughal rulers. The research paper is divided into two parts. The first part of the research paper mentions about the (deep roots) as well as the (beginning) of the term (Baloch). The second part depicts the relations of the Baloch rulers with the Mughal Dynasty. By carrying out this research, for obvious reasons, it was not an easy task to perform, specially being a social science scholar. To examine the behaviors of the bygone societies is indeed much difficult work to carry out. As far as the term Balochistan is concerned, it is originated by the Balochs who have been residing in this part of the world for a long time. The original people of the Balochistan are obviously Balochs as well as Pashthoons. The Baloch people by faith are Muslims. Regarding the Relations of the Baloch people, with the Mughal Dynasty, history indicates that Balochs were given special status by all the Mughal rulers from Babar to Aurangzeb. They always relied upon the assistance of the Baloch rulers when it came to achieve difficult tasks to perform (vanquishing particular areas).The significant events regarding the strong relations between Balochs and the Mughals (as mentioned in this research paper) show clearly that all the Mughal rulers from Babar to Aurangzeb, acknowledged the (bravery, hospitality, adherence with given words, etc,) of the Baloch rulers, and also prescribed gratuities for Baloch rulers acknowledging their exalted traits
