Abstract
The Baloch issue in the contemporary history is becoming more and more salient considering the geopolitical and strategic importance of the region. Particularly in Pakistan this issue becomes crucial for the future of the whole region since almost majority of the worldwide Baloch live in that country. Are the Baloch entitled to have their own state, as it is argued by the Baloch nationalist? To address these questions, this paper seeks to place the current Baloch problem in the broader context of history, regional relations and the geopolitics in the South Asia. Examining the experiences that the Baloch have undergone since the advent of the British Raj, the paper discusses its implications for the Balochs’ struggle to the right to self-determination. At last, attempt will be made to explain and analyze, why the Baloch have remained a forgotten people among the world community.
