Most of Baluchistan was not under persian empires, it was semi or totally independent. Eastern Baluchistan was affiliated by not directly ruled by the English in much the same way FATA was. It had its own amirs (including my great-great grandfather) and cheifs that had nominal allegiance to the Englishs.

They believe themselves to be more Arab actually. Syrian..But I think it's just their imagination.

Not Syrian, Omani definitely. Baluchistan and Oman are very close really.

Hi Omar
Nice to know you are from baluchistan .Now as per Britishers Jats are the original inhabitants of Belochistan.Same story is told by narration of Arab chronicles who wrote that these areas and territories between makran and kimran are controlled by Jats .Again as we read chachnama people of sivistan were Buddhist Jats and same was verified by christian mercenaries who visited these areas in eighteenth century even hear some love story like heer ranja involving boy and girl from Bloch and Jat tribes.
Now question I wanted to ask whether the Jat community present earlier have totally merged in belochi mainstream identity.
Again who are Makrani having significant Bruhie component and these makranis now having moved to kutch areas call them jats ,Are bruhies of Belochistani similar to jats of other areas ,again we hear that zahri ,bejanjo and other tribes are called jagdali is it similar to jats ?What is the actual position and who were original inhabitants of Baluchistan?

Oman is close, but Balochis generally don't believe they're from there. More they think Haleb, Allepe in Syria. I don't really think it's either personally.

Northern Iran, South Caspian sea is what ive read and they don't see themselves as Arabs. The Syrian story may only represent either a part of it or are part of them and it doesn't imply an arab background

The "legend" they believe is that they're from Allepe in Syria, of Kurdish stock, that later moved to some place in Northern Iran and then to their present locations.
The most commonly accepted account of the origin of the Baloch is that they migrated eastward with their kindred Kurd tribes in waves from around Aleppo (Haleb) in Syria over some 1500 years starting from before the Christian era. Whereas the Kurd majority settled in Iraq, Turkey and Iran, the Baloch moved to the southern reaches of the Caspian Sea, later migrating into Iranian and Pakistani Balochistan from the sixth to fourteenth centuries2.
But it's most likely not true, just another theory like the others that seem to exist. It's more or less proven they're not Semitic, but they do/did consider themselves as Semitic people. They're not Arab anyway, Pakistani is the only sure thing the Eastern Baloch are.

I had never heard of that before. The Baluch do not consider themselves Arab, but they do consider that they have strong ties with the Omani Arabs - who are just a short distance away across a well traveled sea.
