Balochistan actually voted to be part of India in the election of 1946 (it was the only Muslim majority province to do so). The most popular Baloch leader at the time was Abdul Gaffar Khan, popularly known as Badshah Khan. Khan was member of the Indian National Congress and a great friend of Mahatma Gandhi. When Badshah Khan said that he did not want Balochistan to be a part of Pakistan, he was accused of being anti-Muslim, physically assaulted and had to be hospitalised.

When India was finally partitioned, Balochistan was made part of Pakistan for logistical reasons since it's closer to the Pakistani side of Punjab. As a result, the Baloch people felt a sense of betrayal. Badshah Khan's last words to Gandhi were "You have thrown us to the wolves".
