This research aims to analyze why extremism in Balochistan has outlived and what are the reasons behind its renewed strength. In addition to that, this research will also try to ascertain how bad governance exacerbated the crisis in Balochistan. After depicting a brief sketch of Balochistan’s terrain, the other fueling factors will also be discussed in detail. In the last section, while debating the influence of external factors on the growing discontent in Balochistan, a way forward will also be given. Whether short term policies alongside changes in governance model will curtail the impacts of extremism or the issue will persist in the foreseeable future?
