In this article an attempt is made to highlight the grim situation created by feudalism in Pakistan. Rural areas of Pakistan are severely damaged by this evil. However in urban areas there is decline of feudalism due to industrial development and education. But industrial sector is also going under the control of the feudal lords as they are shifting their investment to industry instead of agriculture.
