Pakistan always looks at India with envy. If India has nuclear weapons, Pakistan also wants and if India has the Nehru-Gandhi dynasty, Pakistan has to Bhutto. The family entered politics early in the twentieth century Shah Nawaz Bhutto, who laid the foundations of family power in the province of Sindh and developed good relationships with the top brass of the newly independent country. His son Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto had a meteoric career. At age 30 he was appointed Minister of Energy by President Ayub Khan. Some help that Ayub Khan had been hunting in father's farm in Sindh. In late 1971, when the country was in crisis after the secession of East Pakistan, Bhutto became Prime Minister and spent the next six years the country dizzy. Overthrown by a coup in July 1977, his successor, General Zia ul-Haq, ended his political career for the expeditious method of sentencing him to death. His sons Murtaza and Shahnawaz devoted their best efforts in the eighties to overthrow Zia ul-Haq, but the real political heir of Zulfiqar be his daughter Benazir. After the death of Zia ul-Haq, Benazir won the elections scheduled in November 1988 and became Prime Minister, a position he held until 1990 and then again between 1993 and 1996. In 2007 just arrived from exile was killed. Her widower, Asif Ali Zardari inherited the party that Benazir led and that she had inherited from his father, the Pakistan People's Party (PPP). Although her party leadership has some acting. Actually he is warming the seat to his son Bilawal, who is studying in Oxford and has no time to return to Pakistan to take over the game. Thanks to the sympathy generated by the assassination of Benazir Ali Zardari won the presidential election held on September 6, 2008.
have already mentioned what you can do one survivor While born in Asia to launch a political career. In 1985, opposition leader Benigno Aquino was assassinated at Manila airport by henchmen of dictator Ferdinand Marcos. When in 1987 there were elections, the opposition was clear that they had to deal with Corazon Aquino, Benigno's widow. Aquino was a well-meaning housewife, which was more interested in politics mahjong, but that was irrelevant in electoral terms. What mattered was that it was La Viuda.
The Bangladeshi Khaleda Zia is another survivor who saw the springboard to politics. Married at age 21, did not address other thing home and educating their children and spent for political affairs. For that he was her husband, General Ziaur Rahman, who was dedicated to those things that engage the military in Third World countries, yes, to make coups. Which gave the August 15, 1975 it went so well that by 1977 it was President. In 1981, the luck ran out: this time was another who gave the coup against him. The attempt failed, but brought it forward and catapulted his widow Khaleda Zia to the world of politics.
Since the mid-eighties bangledeshi political life has been marked by two women who hate death. One of them, Khaleda Zia, draws its legitimacy from its status as a widow. The other, Sheikh Hasina, of an orphan, like Benazir Bhutto. Sheikh Hasina is the daughter of the first President of Bangladesh, Mujibur Rahman, who was killed in that coup that left him so well the husband of Khaleda Zia.
Khaleda Zia and her son walk promoting Tarique Rahman. When he was Prime Minister he became a political adviser and Tarique became a sort of office job, people who settled in the government. As these peccadilloes in these countries are forgiven soon, now is a vice president Bangladesh Nationalist Party, which incidentally is also the party led by his mother. Sheikh Hasina has not fallen behind its rival. If Khaleda Zia promoted his son, why not going to make it three quarters of the same with their offspring, Sajeeb Wazed? Wazed In 2009 he joined his mother's party, the Awami League as a member of a foot. Any to making that soon will be more than an ordinary member?
still very much alive in Asia feudal conception of politics. Clientelist relations remain strong. The idea of \u200b\u200bthe impersonality of the law and equality of all citizens to defend more than nozzle with sincerity. I imagine that as they progress in Asian societies, these features are disappearing. Take the example of Singapore, which is a fully developed society. Here Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong is a brilliant man, who had been professor of mathematics at Oxford if I wanted (they were interested in him), but chose to enter politics where he has got where Singaporean has come through effort. His father was the first Prime Minister of the country, is incidental.
