Abstract

Different opinions and estimations on Benazir Bhutto’s life in Pakistani politics could be found, from admire to reject. She repeated many times that she did not choose her life, but all her destiny has been chosen by the obstacles of her life instead, first of all by the family she belonged to. To be Bhutto means to be in politics, to be active, successful and always risky, to have a lot of fans and enemies as well. She became known as a “Daughter of Pakistan”, who tried her best to change the country for better after a decade of dictatorship. In fact, the most popular politician in Pakistan ever – is Benazir, and having her, as a Prime Minister twice, was a good luck for the image of Pakistan. First female head of the government in the Muslim world, she also gave a hope for millions outside Islamic Republic of Pakistan. Well-educated and strongly motivated, with impressive background and huge ambitions, it seems she could give a second chance to her father’s plan of state’s transformation. What is more, she was eager to provide an effective combination of Islam and democracy – again, a kind of revival of Zulfikar Bhutto’s Islamic socialism, where no place for terrorism and extremism is secured. Unfortunately, this has not happened, the assassination of Benazir on her way to the next political victory stopped a dream for safe Pakistan. Until now, she is admired by millions, and at the same time the family name is a symbol of the corruption. So, the article is devoted to “The Phenomenon of Benazir”, if such could be really estimated.
