Özet:

 The Baloch people reside primarily in the Balochistan region, which is located in the western part of South Asia and encompasses areas within Iran, Pakistan, and Afghanistan. This geography has historically served as a strategic hub for trade and migration, enabling the Baloch to interact with both Eastern and Western cultures. Their connections, particularly with the eastern coast of Africa, have been shaped through trade, migration, colonialism, religious ties, and cultural exchanges. Historical texts such as Shahnameh, Masalik wa Mamalik, Futuh al-Buldan, Diakovs History of Medes, and works on Ancient Iran, alongside Mirāt al-Mamālik and Hudud al-Alam, provide valuable insights into the Baloch peoples journeys from the Caspian Sea shores to Kerman, then to Makran and Sindh, and eventually to Africa. Key reasons for Baloch migration include war, drought, trade, and mercenary service. This study will comprehensively examine the migration of the Baloch from the Caspian Sea region to the African continent, the historical backdrop of their cultural interactions with Africa, and the various social, economic, and cultural dimensions of these exchanges.

 Beluciler Baloch, Güney Asyanın batısında, özellikle İran, Pakistan ve Afganistan sınırları içinde yer alan Belucistan bölgesinde yaşayan bir halktır. Bu coğrafya, tarih boyunca stratejik bir ticaret ve göç merkezi olmuş, Belucilerin hem Doğu hem de Batı kültürleriyle temas kurmasına olanak tanımıştır. Özellikle Afrikanın doğu kıyılarıyla olan etkileşimleri, ticaret, göç, sömürgecilik, dini bağlantılar ve kültürel alışveriş üzerinden şekillenmiştir. Şahname, Mesalik ve Memalik, Futuhul Buldan, Diyakofun Med tarihi, Antik İran gibi eserleri, Seydi Ali Reisinin Miratul Memalik; ve Hududul Alam gibi eserlerde Belucilerin Hazar Denizi kıyılarından Kirmana, oradan da Mekkuran ve Sinde kadar, ardından ise Afrikaya geçen yolculuklarına dair önemli bilgiler yer almaktadır. Belucilerin göç etme nedenlerinin başında savaş, kuraklık, ticaret, paralı askerlik gibi nedenler gelmektedir. Bu çalışmada, Belucilerin Hazar Denizi kıyılarından Afrika kıtasına göçleri, Belucilerin Afrika ile kültürel etkileşimlerinin tarihsel arka planı ve çeşitli sosyal, ekonomik ve kültürel yönleri ayrıntılı olarak ele alınacaktır.
