The Baloch nationalist sentiments urging to resist the British
occupation had been germinated since the early twentieth
century. After the establishment of Pakistan, Balochistan
witnessed various uprisings and consequent army actions
causing heavy losses to the people as well as forces of the state.
In retaliation to the frequent use of coercive power by the state,
the insurgents, from time to time, have substantially damaged
the state-installations like railway lines, bridges, gas fields,
pipelines and electric transmissions. Over the years, the everprevailing misunderstanding and lack of trust between the
Baloch nationalists and the policy-makers in Islamabad have
rather intensified thus making the issue much complex and
complicated. The alleged foreign involvement in the province
further sensitized the issue. The instant study evaluates the
historical discourse of various Baloch uprisings in Pakistan and
their impact on the present trends of violence in Balochistan. It
concludes that this situation prevails because neither the federal
government has been able to comprehend and accommodate the
aspirations of the confronting Balochs nor the latter have ever
appreciated the ground realities which may still provide them
opportunities to secure their objectives properly within the
larger framework of the federation of Pakistan.
