Benazir Bhutto Childhood 1954-1968.

Bhutto was born on 21 June 1953 in the  Pakistani  city of Karachi. Her father was the politician  Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto and her mother was  Begum Nusrat Isphaani of Iranian Kurdish parentage. Zulfikar was the son of Shahnawaz Bhutto, a prominent politician who had served as Prime Minister of the Junagadh State The Bhuttos were aristocratic,wealthy landlords from Sindh  part of the  Waderas or landed gentry They were Sunni Muslims , although Nusrat had been born into a  Shia Muslims family before converting to Sunnism on her marriage.The couple had married in September 1951, and Benazir was their first child She was given the name of an aunt who had died young.  The Bhutto's three younger children were Murtaza (born 1954), Sanam (1957), and Shahnawaz (1958). When Shah Nawaz died in 1957, Zulfikar inherited the family's land holdings, making him extremely wealthy.

Benazir's first language was English; as a child she spoke Urdu less frequently, and barely spoke the local Sindhi Language  Benazir initially attended the Lady Jennings Nursery School in Karachi. She was then sent to the Convent of Jesus and Marry in Karachi , a boarding school in Murree . Murree is near the border with India, and during the Indo Pakistan war of 1965 Bhutto and the other pupils underwent air-raid practices. Taking her exams in December 1968, Bhutto passed her O-Levals with high grades.

Throughout her youth, Bhutto idolized her father, and he, in turn, encouraged her educational development in contravention of traditional approaches to women then pervasive in Pakistan. Relations between her parents were however strained during her childhood; Zulfikar embarked on extra-marital affairs with other women, and when Nusrat objected he had her thrown out of their house. She moved to Iran, but after Zulfikar prevented her children from joining her there, she returned to Pakistan six months later, settling in Karachi.Throughout her life, Bhutto never publicly acknowledged this internal family discord.















When Bhutto was five, her father became the cabinet minister for energy, and when she was nine he became the country's foreign minister. From an early age, she was exposed to foreign diplomats and figures who were visiting her father, among them Zhou Enlai , Henry Kissinger , and Hubert Humphrey  When she was thirteen, he resigned from the government and a year later established his own political party, the Pakistan Peoples Party  (PPP). The PPP used the motto "Islam is our faith, democracy is our policy, socialism is our economy. All power to the people."It employed a populist strategy to attract votes, promising "roti, kapra aur makan" (bread, clothes, and housing) for every Pakistani and insisting that the disputed territory of Kashmir would be transferred from Indian to Pakistani control. Benazir immediately joined. Amid riots against the government of President Ayub Khan  in 1968 Zulfikar was arrested and imprisoned for three months, during which he wrote to Benazir to encourage her studies.
