Nationalisme baloch – Khastgah va seire takamole an (e-bok) av Taj Mohammad Breseeg Nyhet

This book, originally in English and now translated into Persian, is a revised version of a PhDdissertation discussing the “Origin and Development of Baloch Nationalism.” It examinestheoretical writings on the subject and concludes that nationalism is a shared sense ofidentity among people linked by civic-territorial or linguistic-ethnic bonds, along with thebelief that their collective interests are best protected through self-rule. The central themerevolves around two questions: (1) Does a Baloch nationality exist with a developed nationalconsciousness and distinctive characteristics? (2) If so, is this consciousness, along with thedetermination to preserve their identity and pursue self-government, strong enough toconstitute a Baloch national movement? The book fills a gap in knowledge about Balochnationalism in Pakistan and Iran, exploring its development from the 1920s to the 1980s.Through a historical and comparative approach using primary and secondary sources, itanalyses the foundations, evolution, dynamics, and implications of Baloch nationalism.
