Since its establishment in 1947, Pakistan has faced the issue of Baloch ethnicity as a problem with political, security, economic and regional dimensions. Unfortunately, the geographical and linguistic continuity has also had an impact on the situation of the Baloch people in Iran, hence the sociological analysis of this issue is important. The leading research seeks to answer the question, what are the dimensions of the issue of ethnicity in Pakistan's Balochistan from the point of view of micro and macro sociology? In order to answer this question, an attempt has been made to answer this question by using the theoretical framework taken from Ara Randall Collins. Document analysis method is used in this article. It seems that various components such as past colonial relations, the instrumental use of identities in the colonial period, geopolitical element, the behavior of the chiefs and elders of Baloch tribes, the functioning of the modern government and the image of defeats and great and decisive victories on the mentality of the Baloch ethnicity in the formation of the problem Qoumi has been influential in Baluchistan, Pakistan. Paying attention to issues related to macro and micro sociology simultaneously is one of the strengths of Collins' theoretical framework. The theoretical framework derived from Ara Collins is able to explain well the origins of the formation, continuation and even the future of the Baloch ethnicity issue in Balochistan, Pakistan. This research is one of the qualitative researches that intends to study a case study in depth.
