sibling -- a person's brother or sister. Noun.

sib means Related by Blood.

In this case the blood shed during partition
by Jinnah and Bhutto.

Since we are Hindustani and
since our Bharatmata is a female,
and they are MusliMAN they must be male.

But this Fatima Bhutto says: "Our countries, India and Pakistan, are sister nations.
We are one half of each genetically and
physically".

Yup we are both siblings who have only one (gora) parent in common, therefore we are
half blood siblings.

Be that as it may, this Fatima does not
sound like Jinnah's sister, Fatima Jinnah or
Madar-e-Millat ("Mother of the Nation"),
after whom she may, perhaps, have been named.

She (Fatima Jinnah) became the presidential candidate of a coalition of political parties
that opposed the rule of President Ayub Khan, but lost the 1963-1964 elections.

The fact remains that through the 1940s,
Jinnah suffered from tuberculosis but it
was a well-kept secret; only his sister,
Fatima, and a few others close to him
(including Jinnah's personal physician,
who shall remain nameless for now) were
aware of his condition.

In 1948, Jinnah's health began to falter,
hindered further by the heavy workload of
cigarettes that had fallen upon him following
Pakistan's creation.

He died a lonely man on September 11, 1948
(mark that date, America) from a combination
of tuberculosis and lung cancer.

This Fatima is very young and educated.
So she will try to step-into Benazir Bhutto's
high
