Map 3: The Chaman Fault: The Bugtis’ territory is West of the great Chaman fault, which stretches from Makran (SouthWest Pakistan) to Kaboul (Afghanistan), separating the Asian plate to the northwest and the Indian plate to the southwest. The Indian plate is still advancing at a rate of one centimeter each year, causing earthquakes in that area (the most recent quake causing thousands of deaths in Quetta, Baluchistan’s capital).
