Sir Shahnawaz Bhutto was Diwan in which princely state?

A. Hyderabad
B. Junagarh
C. Kapurthala
D. None
Correct Answer: B. Junagarh

Sir Shahnawaz Bhutto, the father of former Pakistani Prime Minister Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto, served as the Diwan (Prime Minister) of the princely state of Junagarh. Junagarh was a significant princely state in present-day Gujarat, India, which controversially acceded to Pakistan after the partition of British India in 1947, leading to its eventual integration into India.

  • Hyderabad was another large princely state, but Sir Shahnawaz Bhutto was not its Diwan.
  • Kapurthala was a Sikh princely state in Punjab.
  • Option D (None) is incorrect as Junagarh is the correct historical fact.
