The Baloch Students Organization-Awami or BSO-Awami was founded in 1972, when it split from the Baloch Students Organization (BSO). It supported Baluch People's Liberation Front, a militant organization in Balochistan against Pakistani control. The organisation was Marxist-Leninist in its ideology. It was against the sardari system in Balochistan.{{cite book|last1=Siddiqi|first1=Farhan|title=The Comparative Approach to National Movements: Miroslav Hroch and Nationalism Studies|date=2011|publisher=Routledge|isbn=978-0415681964|page=19}}
