I believe that the Balochistan bibliography with all its shortcomings will
certainly be useful to prospective research scholars, administrators, planners and
policy makers who are actively associated with Baloch, Balochi and Balochistan.
Similarly this bibliography is also helpful in making an idea about the particular
interest of concerning groups in Balochistan.
Acknowledgement
The “knowledge explosion” in recent decades and availability of extensive
databases in Western Universities make it easier to undertake the task of preparing
bibliography. However universities of third world countries are starving from these
accesses and it is almost impossible for any one person to undertake the arduous task
of preparing a bibliography of this nature and magnitude. I am lucky enough of
living in Canada where it is easy to access to any database. I wish to express my
sincere thanks to Mr. Nadir Khairzai, who hosted me during my trips at Toronto and
Mr. Amir Durrazai, Majeed Saeedi, and Ayaz Buzdar for there help and
encouragement.
I take this opportunity to express my gratitude to Professor Saba Dashtyari, a
leading participant of Balochi literature in Pakistan, who gave me encouragement
from the very beginning of this work. His valuable suggestions and advice helped
me in clarifying different facets of the subject.
The staff of MacKimmie library, University of Calgary, Alberta, was
extremely helpful in obtaining many books and letting me to use the University
database.
I need hardly thank my friend Wahid Comrade of Sayad Hashmi Reference
Library who helped me in pasting and publication of the bibliography.
