Abstract
The study highlights the various ethnic groups in Pakistan particularly those of Balochistan. Their historical, racial,
ethnic and tribal set up is discussed to demonstrate their specific characteristics and food habits, dresses, mobility
and more importantly their cultural traits and values. But the main focus of this chapter is to describe the Baloch
ethnicity, their origin and growth and their presence and participation in the provincial and national politics of the
country. It will be of immense significance to understand the dynamics of Baloch ethnicity, demands and actions
under the period discussion. This chapter will try to find answers to the following queries: how many ethnic groups
inhabit in Balochistan; why Baloch ethnic group is more annoyed with the centre; what are their main demands and
the response of the state and society of Pakistan to these demands?
