Lying outside the monsoon zone and with few rivers usable for irrigation, Baluchistan is largely desert basins with inarable hills and mountains. Outside of urban areas, tribes who speak languages related to Persian constitute most of the sparse population; the Baluch are dominant except in the northeast, where the people are largely Pathans (Pashtuns).

Some cotton is raised and processed; grains are grown in some valleys, and fruits in the highlands. Sheep and goats also are raised. Extensive mineral resources include coal and lignite, gypsum, chromite, limestone, sulphur, and lead. Natural gas and oil discoveries are being developed and exploited.

Many invaders going India have crossed Baluchistan; the return route of Alexander the Great (325 B.C.) from India to Persia was through S coastal Baluchistan. During 7th–10th cent., Arabs held most of area; in early 17th-cent., the region was under MughalMughal

The area was incorporated (1947–48) into Pakistan and then (1955) into West Pakistan prov. It was returned to full provincial status in 1970. In 1976 the Pakistani central government revoked the authority of local chiefs to administer their own peoples, touching off a significant popular revolt against the government; there had been several more minor tribal uprisings in the previous decades. Guerrilla fighting between local groups and government forces re-erupted sporadically, resuming in 2004 over proposed economic and military development that seemed likely to bring large numbers of Punjabis into the province. A truce from Sept., 2008, to Jan., 2009, ended when it failed to lead to meaningful negotiations. There also has been feuding between local Baluch tribes and killings by Sunni extremists (directed mainly at Shiite Hazaras) and progovernment paramilitary death squads.

Baluchistan

a region in Asia, in the southeastern Iranian Highlands. Area, over 500,000 sq km. East Baluchistan (348,000 sq km) is part of Pakistan, and West Baluchistan is part of Iran. Population, approximately 2,000,000 (1969, estimate), including Baluchis (1,500,000), Brahuis (350,000), and others.

From old Persian and other ancient sources, it is known that, in antiquity, the territory of Baluchistan was settled by the Makas, Gedrosians, and other peoples. In the Middle Ages, Baluchistan was successively part of the Arabian Caliphate and the states of the Ghaznavids, Seljuks, Hulaguids, and Timurids. At the beginning of the 17th century, several feudal principalities arose in the Baluchistan territory, the rulers of which were vassals of the Safawids and the Great Moguls. The ruler of Kalat (East Baluchistan), the strongest of these principalities, Nasir-khan Baluch (1750–95), united the entire territory of Baluchistan under his rule, declaring himself vassal of the Afghani shahs, the Durrani.

In the beginning of the 19th century, Britain began its penetration into Baluchistan. According to treaties of 1854, 1876, and 1879, forced on the rulers of Kalat and Kabul, East Baluchistan was subordinated to Britain and partitioned into so-called British Baluchistan and the Federation of Baluchistani Principalities (Kalat, Kharan, Mekran, Las-Bela). From 1849 to 1857, West Baluchistan was part of Iran. British Baluchistan became part of Pakistan in August 1947 and of the Federation of Baluchistani Principalities in March 1948. The border between East and West Baluchistan was defined by the Iranian-Pakistani treaty of Oct. 29, 1956.
