Balochistan is one of the four provinces of Pakistan. It is rich in natural resources, including gold, copper, chromite, natural gas, and coal, but its population is the poorest in Pakistan. Over the last ten years, Professor Buzdar has been presenting papers at various universities and institutions in Quetta, Turbat, Gwadar, Uthal, and Nushki on issues of economic underdevelopment and poverty in Balochistan. This book is based on those lectures and papers.
