This photograph shows a leaf from a 1974 tourism brochure on Karachi's nightlife. The country’s tourism industry enjoyed a two-fold growth in the 1970s.

The government greatly expanded the Tourism Board which, at the time, was headed by famous Zoroastrian businessman Ardeshir Cowasjee. Karachi’s nightlife at the time revolved around nightclubs, live music, bars, cinemas, restaurants and cafes (mainly in the Saddar, Tariq Road and Old Clifton areas).

Nightclubs were ordered to close down in April 1977 when Bhutto was cornered by a violent movement started by a right-wing alliance of nine parties. Sale of alcohol was banned in restaurants and cafes and on PIA flights. By the 1980s, many cinemas too closed down. The tourism industry began its gradual decline, and by 1990s it had hit rock-bottom. The situation has remained the same ever since.

Nusrat Bhutto cries out after her husband, former Pakistani Prime Minister Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, was executed in 1979. Bhutto was overthrown in a military coup by General Zia ul-Haq in 1977 after Bhutto’s party won an election by margins that were much higher than seemed realistic given the pre-election polling. Zia then accused Bhutto of complicity in a political murder. Despite evidence that seemed to exonerate him, Bhutto was found guilty and, after his appeals were denied, executed.

So my family knew Bhutto family very well. My dad side knew zulfikar Ali bhutto dad side and him while my mother side knew nusrat bhutto as she and my grandmother were best friends due to their Iranian heritage. During the time of elections Bhutto family would always come meet both of my mom and dad side as they were all family friends. When we come to knew zulfikar Ali Bhutto is unalive my both family broke down for the loss. My uncle was like co worker for zulfikar Ali Bhutto son Mustafa Bhutto even when he was shot everyone in my family just broked down

Bhutto family legacy has become history but they are still missed by my relatives as they share great bond and unique friendship.

The Pakistani Army's Complex Role in 1971: Power, Politics, and the Making of Bhutto's Pakistan

By Munaeem Jamal – January 4, 2025 The year 1971 remains one of the most consequential in Pakistan’s political history, fundamentally reshaping the relationship between civilian leadership and military power. The Pakistani Army’s role during this tumultuous period was paradoxical—simultaneously serving as the instrument of state repression that led to national dismemberment and as the catalyst…
