Fatima Bhutto   (born 29 May 1982) is an Afghan born Pakistani poetess and writer. She came to fame after the appearance of her first book, a collection of poems, titled Whispers of the Desert. She is now a columnist for The News in Pakistan. She received notable coverage for her second book, Fatima is the granddaughter of former Prime Minister Zulfikar Ali Bhutto and niece of Benazir Bhutto, from whom she was estranged. She is active in Pakistan's socio-political arena,[4] but has no desire to run for political office. Fatima was born in Kabul, Afghanistan while her father Murtaza Bhutto was in exile during the military regime of General Zia ul Haq. Murtaza Bhutto, was son of former Pakistan's President and Prime Minister, Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto, and her mother is Fauzia Fasihudin Bhutto, daughter of Afghanistan' s former Foreign Affair official. Her father was killed by the police in 1996 in Karachi during the premiership of his sister, Benazir Bhutto. Her parents divorced when she was young and Ghinwa Bhutto became her stepmother in 1989. Years later, her mother unsuccessfully attempted to gain parental custody of Fatima Bhutto completed her BA degree in Middle Eastern studies from Barnard College of Columbia University, after receiving her secondary education at the Karachi American School. She received a Master's degree in South Asian Studies from the School of Oriental and African Studies at the University of London She lives with her stepmother Ghinwa Bhutto, and her half-brother Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto Jr. They live at the famous residence 70 Clifton Road in Old Clifton, Karachi, "Karachi's oldest and plushest suburb Her book marks the moment that brought life to a standstill in Pakistan's north, as a major earthquake jolted the region from Islamabad to the valleys of Azad Kashmir. Fatima Bhutto visited the affected areas to record and compile inspiring accounts of those affectedvictims and volunteers as a tribute to their hope, courage and resilience in the face of calamity. Following the assassination of her aunt, Benazir Bhutto, her entrance into politics has been speculated. She has stated that for now she prefers to remain active through her writing, rather than through elected office However, she actively supports her mother's chairmanship to the unpopular wing of the Pakistan People's Party (Shaheed Bhutto Group), which failed to win a single seat in the 2008 elections. I don't believe in birth-right politics. I don't think, nor have I ever thought, that my name qualifies me for anything Best Wishes And Regards, Hyder Ali Qadri | GSM: +92-321-244-1990 | Email: meet_qadri@yahoo.com
