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.
