The book has clarified the political, social and economic problems of Balochistan along with their causes, the role of provincial and federal governments in not resolving these problems, the role of various external forces in Balochistan, their plans, and how can these issues be resolved?
Just like the other books of the series, the speeches included in this book have been compiled with the help of Professor Khurshid’s speeches in the Senate. These speeches also mention some of the senate committees to which he was a part of, and had also participated in preparing whose reports as a member. The summaries and recommendations of some of these reports are also part of this volume in view of the relevance and importance of the topic.
The second part of the book is a report of a seminar organized by the Institute of Policy Studies and Balochistan Bar Council in Quetta. The participants of the seminar included leaders from the political and social leadership of Balochistan as well as subject experts. In this overall context, the discussions presented in the book are not only useful for the students, teachers and researchers of Pakistan and Balochistan studies, but more than that, they provide guidance for policy makers as well.
