The Baluchi people speak an Iranian language which is very different
from Hindi/Urdu, which is an Indic language. Population wise, they are
one of the smallest minority in Pakistan, but their state is the
biggest state in Pakistan. Moreover, it is very rich in natural
resources (i.e. oil).

I don't know much at all about Baluchi people. I've a Mohajir friend
who was born/raised in Quetta, but he looks/acts like a Indo-Pakistani.
Here are my questions regarding Baluchis for those of you who may have
Baluchi friends:
1. What do they look like compared to others in the subcontinent (i.e.
Punjabis, Pathans, etc.)?
2. What are they like (i.e. generous, jokers, kind, arrogant, etc.)?
3. How do they view Indians. Typically, the Pathans may be a little
more warm to Indians than the Punjabi Pakistanis.

Does not answer all your questions, but a small sampling:
