Abstract
In the British forward policy, the social and economic infrastructure of Balochistan represented almost all characteristics of a desert society, such as isolation, group feeling, hospitality, tribal enmity. There was not any area in Balochistan that could be considered an urban settlement. This paper presents a historical survey of the involvement of Balochistan in the particular era, those circumstances and factors have been examined that brought the British to Balochistan. The first Afghan war was fought apparently to send a message to Moscow that the British would not tolerate any Russian advances towards their Indian empire .To what extant the Russian threat, or for that matter, the earlier French threat under Napoleon, were real or imagined, is also covered in this paper
