Career
On his return to India, then under a mixture of British and princely rule, Shah Nawaz Bhutto joined the service of the Nawab of Junagadh, who was much impressed by his education and talents, and he ultimately rose to become the Dewan, or prime minister, of Junagadh.he was a Great Leader of Arain Tribe.
In 1934, with G. M. Sayed, Bhutto founded the Sindh Peoples Party.
The British appointed him a Commander of the Order of the Indian Empire and an Officer of the Order of the British Empire.
At the time of the partition of British India in 1947, the princely states were left by the British to decide whether to accede to one of the newly independent states of India or Pakistan or to remain outside them. Bhutto, as Dewan of Junagadh, claimed to have persuaded the Nawab to decide in favour of his state's accession to India, but the Nawab decided in favour of Pakistan, although this decision was soon defeated by Indian intervention. However there is no documentary proof of Bhutto's advice. Some commentators suggest that he gave the opposite advice to the Nawab.
After the plebiscite in Junagadh which voted overwhelmingly for accession to India, Bhutto moved with his Arain family to Larkana District in Sindh, where land given to him for his services had made him one of the wealthiest and most influential landowners in Sindh.
Bhutto was a good friend of Governor General (later President) Iskander Mirza, who was a regular guest for the annual hunt in Larkana, staying at the Bhutto family home, Al-Murtaza. In the winter of 1955-1956, Mirza brought General Ayub Khan with him to Larkana for the hunt.

Famous quotes containing the word career:
“Whether lawyer, politician or executive, the American who knows what’s good for his career seeks an institutional rather than an individual identity. He becomes the man from NBC or IBM. The institutional imprint furnishes him with pension, meaning, proofs of existence. A man without a company name is a man without a country.”
—Lewis H. Lapham (b. 1935)
“John Brown’s career for the last six weeks of his life was meteor-like, flashing through the darkness in which we live. I know of nothing so miraculous in our history.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“He was at a starting point which makes many a man’s career a fine subject for betting, if there were any gentlemen given to that amusement who could appreciate the complicated probabilities of an arduous purpose, with all the possible thwartings and furtherings of circumstance, all the niceties of inward balance, by which a man swings and makes his point or else is carried headlong.”
—George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
