Anjuman-i Ittihad-i Balochan o Balochistan (AIB; Balochi: انجمن اتحاد بلۏچان ءُ بلۏچستان, lit. 'Society for the Unity of Balochs and Balochistan') was a political party formed in 1931 in Mastung, Kalat State by Abdul Aziz Kurd and Yousaf Aziz Magsi in British India.[1] The main aims of the party were to end colonization, the unification of Balochistan into one state, and the end of Sardari system.[2]

The Kalat State National Party (KSNP) emerged from AIB on 5 February 1937 in Sibi, contesting elections until the government banned its activities in 1947.[3] The Anjuman-i-Watan Baluchistan, which allied itself with the Indian National Congress (INC) and opposed the partition of India, worked with the Anjuman-i Ittihad-i Balochan o Balochistan, as well as its successor the KSNP.[4][3]
