This article aims to cross-examine the ideological manipulation of people living in tribal areas of Pakistan in the light of Jamil Ahmed’s The Wandering Falcon. Baloch people are bereft of their basic human rights of even owning the place where they live. This naturally rich land full of mineral resources is feudalized and grabbed by their landlords and is sold to the international mafia via the state of their country. This looting and grabbing of land resources have been rationalized in media through the portrayal of a terrorized image of Baloch people living across the globe. Not only the state but other important social institutes such as education and religion are also playing their hegemonic role in internalizing a dehumanized identity in Baloch people where they do not even have the right to call their living place their place, where they cannot demand the proper education and health facilities from the state. The inconspicuous role of the institutes including education, media, and religion in fulfilling the state agenda is the impetus behind this article
