Balochistan (region)

Balochistan is a region in the Iranian plateau. The region is in the area between Pakistan, Iran and Afghanistan. The area is named after the Baloch people who inhabit the region. The Baloch are Aryan as they are from all originally from Iran, land of the original Aryans. The area to the north is Pashtunistan. Sindh is to the east.

Baluchistan's landscape is made of barren, rugged mountains and fertile land. During the summer, some regions of Baluchistan are the hottest. Most of the land is barren, particularly the Iranian and Afghan side of the region. Relatively few people live there. In the south (Makran) is the desert through which Alexander the Great passed with great difficulty.
