Dynast of the East?

In a brilliant, perceptive piece on Benazir Bhutto in The Guardian, Ian Jack writes -

By her early thirties, she had been imprisoned, held under house arrest, seen a younger brother die, made a last prison visit to her father, now ruined by dysentery and gum disease, on the night before his execution. But the eventual question is, what was she being brave for? “Democracy” and “the people of Pakistan” were always her answers, but it is surely not disrespectful to wonder if her background and all those paternal lessons about “destiny” made her essentially a dynast whose ideas of public duty came out of some ancestral, unexamined self-regard.
