Benazir Bhutto



RIP

I remember learning about this lady from my great-uncle. He used to adore her. Believed that she would bring the change that is very much needed in Pakistan. It wasn't only him who had such hope, thousands of people believed so as well.
However, like every hopeful thing in this world, this light had opponents as well. And this is what caused the downfall of such a brave woman.

This woman went against her religion. Instead she followed her own beliefs and stood up for them. Being a woman in her region, that is something which is very difficult to do.

We've all heard of the harsh laws and beliefs of the people in the East. One of the things they oppose most is the role of women. According to them, women shouldn't hold any roles and do as the men say. Bhutto went against that and tried her hardest to bring democracy and peace in Pakistan.

This woman won't be forgotten. She'll live to be a role model for many young ladies and hopefully one day, another Bhutto will be born.
