This research article examines the potential drivers of ethnic terrorism. The ethnic component has typically been ignored by terrorism academia, which has instead concentrated on developing theories that can explain all terrorist violence. The research does cover attributes of ethnic terrorism, whether it is a notion of nationalism or beyond depending on the case. This study focuses on the ethnic groups that why resort to violence to achieve their objective. The research tested the cause of ethnic terrorism based on three theoretical frameworks: political repression, economic grievances and elite competition. The research focuses on the factors driving the Baloch nationalist movement and the adoption of violence by Baloch separatist groups in Pakistan. In the case of Balochistan, three respective hypotheses are built and analyzed. The results demonstrate that political repression raises the risk of ethnic terrorism, although economic resentments or competitive elites are typically not linked to this type of violence

This research study aims to draw attention to the most strategically significant province of Pakistan that has been neglected for decades by different governments of different eras in Pakistan. The nature of this study is qualitative, and the data have been collected by secondary sources such as research papers, newspapers, and websites. The tribes’ chives and the Baluch are abided by their old traditions and customs, but Pakistan’s attitude towards Baluchistan is the same as that of Baluchistan being subjugated by Pakistan. Baluchis merely want Pakistan to use the natural resources of Baluchistan not as a subjugated property, but the resources should be used considering Baluchistan as a federal unit. In the exchange of utilization of these resources, Pakistan has to work for the betterment and prosperity of Baluchistan, respect for the people of Baluchistan, and the Baluch leadership. Pakistan needs to correct its past mistakes and exert all efforts to win the confidence of the people of Baluchistan.
