Slightly disagree. He was man of honor and a real politician. He was smart and intelligent. Had he alive Pakistan definitely would have been at least at par with India. He would still be remembered for many generations to come. And yes Pakistan would have been cleaned from terrorists and suicide bombers. Pakistan would have never been a notorious country leading the world terrorism as world recognize it now. During his time Pakistan then famous and known to the world as “Bhutto’s Pakistan”.

The culture of corruption magnified tenfold when bhutto did his “socialism” experiment. Rajiv ghandi invested in education which I frankly don’t know if bhutto actually did since the govt takeover of education resulted in a worse education system in Pakistan. India finally starting getting away from the hindu rate of growth after liberalization of the economy; i don’t know how bhutto could’ve done it later with everyone at the teet of the govt without an overthrow. All in all, both civilians (mujib and bhutto) that conspired to break Pakistan in 1971 for their own nefarious reasons met very untimely and bloody deaths.

Of course, the downfall wasn’t arrested fully after bhutto’s dismissal as Zia also use “islam” and quota system / erode merit in his term. It is like the jinn of salafism wasn’t stopped after the eighties either by our so-called civilian secular govts or the army itself.
