Pishin () ((パシュトー語:پښين))is a district in the Balochistan province of Pakistan. In 1975 it was separated from Quetta district for administrative reasons. The name Pishin is a modernized form of ‘Pushang’, which is how the city was designated in (mainly pre-modern) Persian sources (Arabic sources using 'Fushang'). Myth attributes the origin of the Persian designation to a son of the mythical Emperor Afrasiab. Fushing was the spelling used in the records of the Afghan government. The population of Pishin District was estimated to be over 300,000 in 2005,〔http://www.balochistan.gov.pk/pishin.html〕 with 95% of the population being Pashtun. ==History== Pishin was founded by the British Empire in 1883.() It played a role in the Anglo-Afghan Wars. Local tribes from the area assisted Baran Khan Tareen in fighting the British by attacking British military convoys en route to Afghanistan. During World War II, the British built two air bases in the district; one near the town of Pishin and the other in Saranan.
