Balochistan has been facing innumerable challenges since Pakistan’s independence. Resentment and socio-political turmoil in Baloch society has been fueled by the federation’s denial of Balochistan’s rightful share of resources and funds: a recognition of this injustice by the state has long been needed. Fida Malik’s book is a seminal work providing deep insights into the issues of Balochistan. It will help create a deeper understanding and promote a well-integrated federation-province relationship.
