This is a documentary about the former Prime Minister of Pakistan
who despite being a woman in a predominantly moslem country chose to
seek to power and was allowed to rise to for a period back at the time.
There is a lot in this video about the culture and religious backdrop
which surrounded her ascension and final premature death at the hands
of an assassin at the end of her time.
A chapter in the video deals with a period additionally, during the
reign of am opponent to her mindset, when "sharia law' was imposed.
This is a cruel misapplication by western standards of punishments
and cruelties vented in connection thereto for deemed offenses that
in the west would go unpunished as "not a crime at all" or in any
event deal with in a civilized manner rather than involving public
beatings and the like. In Saudi Arabia, for example, Judges can order
limbs to be amputated and executions are commonplace enough there and
in Iran etc where so-called religious "Mullas" reign in place of honestly
complied with civil procedure and principles therefrom.
I do want to say that unlike most of her compatriots on the planet
that have evolved with her mindset in the midst of harshness of spirit
in the application of punishments and restrictions etc. Bhutto did at
times show a marked recognition of certain principles which indicate
that human idealism was something she was vey much aware of and would
keenly express views in line with them notwithstanding the harm she
confessed to fear could apply to this sort of expression in that part
of the world. Many a gal even in the west that have her presence lack
an equal level of spirit and awareness of its importance in human
existentialism as it were I have to say from what I see around me too
often even in Toronto Canada etc.
It was in a bid to kill off this awareness of spirit in her, that she
was cruelly sentenced to a barbaric period in solitary confinement
in a lowest grade cell in her country that she may have succumbed to the
loss of reality at the end that afflict all too many that have had similar
backgrounds on the planet in respect of a mindset which has endured and
persisted to exist under whatever cruel conditions have had to be complied
with given the status quo.
