Benazir Bhutto
Is death so morbid a subject to be included in a New Year message? Would my readers recoil? I struggled with these questions. But I made a decision that my readers would want to connect to this story. They want to recall moments in the life of this courageous woman who chose to be the champion of democracy in such a volatile region. They want to remember those hopeful eyes and determined face. She chose to wear a white veil on her last day. Perhaps, it is meant to become a white flag, a symbol of peace and women's equality in the region.
