Abstract
This article deals with the information regarding socio-political organization of Village Zandra, District Ziarat in Balochistan Province. In this paper an attempt has been made to understand the social organization of Pashtuns (Pashto speaking people). Zandra is a segmentary society divided into different lineages. Social stratification and interaction between the lineages and its impact on tribal politics has been discussed. What role this political leadership and the arbitrator council of elders known as Jirga perform in conflict resolution has also been taken into the account. During the last 3 decades development has brought some significant changes in their traditional politics. The data presented in this paper has been collected by using qualitative anthropological research techniques.
