Abstract
Simmering tension in Balochistan is the cause of multiple factors.
Among them one is the Baloch ethnicity, based on its language, culture
and territory. The animosity between state of Pakistan and Baloch
started since 1948, when state of Kalat was annexed with Pakistan. The
annexation was badly criticized by the Baloch nationalists. On the
other hand, the state of Pakistan did not take the matter seriously.
esultantly a series of resistant moves were started in Balochistan. The
state’s reluctance to resolve the issue politically, created further
distrust between the two contending actors. All the resistant moves
were supressed forcefully which developed anti-state feeling among the
Baloch people. The study is an analysis of the nature of the issue of
Baloch identity and conflict with state. It is analysed that when state
denies the demands of sharing political power or adequate
representation in political and administrative institutions, conflictual
situation develops between the state and ethnic groups.
