| CONSTITUENT ASSEMBLY OF INDIA. ADVISORY COMMITTEE. TRIBAL AND EXCLUDED AREAS Baluchistan New Delhi, Printed by the Manager, Government of India Press. 1947. Photostatic copy. Stapled. 5pp, folding map. 21.5cm. Marked "CONFIDENTIAL" on front cover. Light soil and wear, internally fine. A highly interesting and informative document provided to the Constitutent Assembly by the External Affairs Department of the Government of India early in the process of its deliberations on creating a new constitution. The Constituent Assembly of India was created on 9 December 1947 and terminated on 26 January 1950 with the finalizing of the Constitution. This document is dated 26 February 1947, less than three months after its creation. Even though an Interim Government involving both the Congress and Muslim League was in office and the Two Nation theory had been accepted, it was a confused period and the fact that Baluchistan would probably go to Pakistan is not even mentioned here. A concise and succinct description of the complex legal and political arrangements made with the tribes and residents of the several political entities created or existing within Baluchistan during the period of the British Raj. A scarce piece of very informative politically privileged ephemera. The security classification of "Confidential" is presumed to have lapsed with the dissolution of the Constituent Assembly.

| CONSTITUENT ASSEMBLY OF INDIA. ADVISORY COMMITTEE. TRIBAL AND EXCLUDED AREAS Tribal Areas on the Punjab-Baluch Border New Delhi, Printed by the Manager, Government of India Press. 1947. Photostatic copy. 2 pages. 8vo/21.5cm. Copy of a memorandum sub-titled, "Memorandum for the use of the Advisory Committee to the Constituent Assembly on the Baluch Tribal Areas beyond the western border of the Dera Ghazi Khan District of the Punjab." The memo was printed on 25 February 1947 and is concerned with the future governmental relationship of India with the Baluch Tribal Areas which lie along a narrow strip of hill country which forms the eastern fringe of the Suleiman range and stretches almost due north and south for about two hundred miles. These areas had been legally administered from 1937 by the Governor of the Punjab through the Deputy Commissioner, Dera Ghazi Khan. The Constituent Assembly of India existed from 9 December 1946 and in effect was terminated on 26 January 1950 when the Indian Constitution took effect though Partition and the creation of Pakistan took the area of this memorandum entirely out of the jurisdiction of the new Government of India.
