The Baloch people have awakened to a sense of nationhood rather belatedly, and in this lies their tragedy and that of the people among whom they live. They now seek to wrest what they regard as their divided homeland from the Punjabis, the Afghans, and the Persians - a difficult and dangerous undertaking. The Balochi environment, which has moulded the character of the Baloch as individuals, has also shaped their destiny as a people. Separated by impassable mountain barriers, divided by linguistic and sectarian differences, rent by narrow tribal loyalties, and split up by international frontiers, they now yearn to be what other more fortunate peoples are - a nation-state.
