Sistan and Balochistan once formed the border of Achaemenid Persia and Mauryan India and now mark the border between Iran and Pakistan. In a landscape of mud volcanoes and vast deserts, the Baloch people live a tough life in a deeply conservative society and harsh environment, with little connection to the outside world.
