Nina Swidler started her research program on Balochistan in 1963, she observed a prominent Sardar conducting court proceedings on his lawn, an experience which led to her dissertation on tribal organization and leadership. Her most significant work was over history and politics in Balochistan and is the culmination of a life spent studying the people and culture of Balochistan. Meanwhile we have the huge collection of her research in our library.
