The aim of this paper is to provide an analytical review of the Baloch and Balochistan, in which we show that how the Baloch, after passing through various painful stages, has evolved to become a distinct ethnic group and Balochistan being a remote area at the Iranian border, has become a vital unit of Pakistani federation. The paper shows that the construction of the Baloch as an ethnic group is explained by ethno-symbolist theory, against various claims in the favour of primordial theory or other modern theories. The Baloch is heterogeneous in its formation and features, where various ethnic, linguistics and racial groups define the construction of the Baloch being diverse and heterogeneous. The paper with the help of a range of relevant literature explains that how Baloch after transforming through various historical epics and how Balochistan has formed into its current construction as an entity of Pakistan. The paper argues that the Baloch as a distinct ethnic group is neither ancient in its character nor modern in its appeal, as it emerged uniquely before the era of enlightenment and French Revolution. The paper further elaborates the formation of Kalat Confederacy in its historical perspective, from the arrival of British in Balochistan in 1839 to the advert of Balochistan as a federating unit in Pakistani federation.
