[edit] The History of Bhatto to Bhutto

The history of Bhutto family starts from Sir. Shahnawaz Bhutto. Before the independence, he was the Dewan (minister) of Junagadh state. He with G. M. Sayed founded Sindh Peoples Party for the first time in the decade of 1940's. Besides he was the father of the 1st elected Prime Minister of Pakistan, Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, who achieved the political recognition much after his father’s death.

Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto was the founder of the Pakistan People's Party (PPP), which is one of the largest and most influential political parties of Pakistan. His daughter Benazir Bhutto has also served twice as prime minister of Pakistan.

Sir. Shahnawaz Bhuto was the first person in Sindh who called himself Bhutto. Actually Bhutto had never been a cast of Sindh before Sir Shanawaz Bhutto.

However, it is a fact that Bhutta is a cast of Punjab and same word Bhutta can be pronounced in Sindhi language as Bhutto. If it was true the question is this why did only one person Sir. Shahnawaz Bhutta became Bhutto? Why there was no any other Bhutto before him? It simply shows that formation of Bhutto even though is logical if it was driven from Bhutta but it is not true at all.

Very few people know about the true history of Bhutto. Even though Bhutto family themselves never preferred to put light on word “Bhutto” due to some political reasons. World know very well Sir. Shahnawaz Bhutto, Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto and Ms. Benazir Bhutto. No one knows Khuda Bux the father of Sir Shanawaz Bhutto. Even though people know that the native village of Bhutto is Khuda Bux Bhutto, however, very few people know about Khuda Bux and his biography.

There was a small railway station of a town Bhatto Kalan in Tahseel Sirsa District Hasar India. Before partition same town Bhatto Kalan was situated in Province of Punjab, however, presently Bhatto Klan is in Haryana province of India. Bhatto Kalan is the native town of Bhutto family. Mr. Khuda Bux the grand-father of Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto was serving as a mechanic in Indian Railway. He had good connection with some British engineers. He requested them that I want to send my son to England so that would get higher education from there. Some British engineer who were impressed from the diligent work of Khuda Bux arranged to send his son Shanwaz to England for higher education. After getting higher education from England Shahnawaz went to Bomaby and then he joined to Nawab of Junagadh. There Shanwaz first time used his village name Bhatto with his name. In this way Shahnawaz called himself Shahnawaz Bhatto. Shahnawaz was a talented man soon after he won the favor of Nawab Junagadh. He was gifted an agricultural land in Larkana Sindh. Subsequently, Shahnawaz Bhatto migrated from India to Larkana. He gave name to his Jagir Garhi Khuda Bux. After partition of India a flux of migrated refugees came from India and they also settled in Sindh. Local Sindhis give them a name Panahgeer or Mohajir. Sir. Shanawaz Bhatto even though had been settled in Sindh before partition. However, the people who migrated from India to Pakistan were given a derogatory title Panahgeer in Sindh. Therefore, Sir Shanwaz Bhatto joined the link of Bhatto with Bhuta, one of the native cast of Pakistan. Zulfiqar Ali Bhatto initially used Bhatto and later on he changed spelling Bhatto to Bhutto just to make its link with Bhutta the native cast of Pakistan.

Today if you try to find history of Bhutto family you cannot go ahead of Sir. Shanwaz Bhutto. If Bhutto family were given a true back ground of word Bhutto then they would never use Sindh card in Politics. Therefore, they preferred to start their history from Sir. Shanwaz and totally forgotten the achievements of Khuda Bux, the poor but hard working mechanic of Indian Railway, who always dreamed a dream that his son get higher education from England.
