Abstract
Before the arrival of British colonizers, thefeudal system in Indian Subcontinent, was different from the "Western Feudal System". The Indian feudal lords did not have land ownership rights and powers to control people. But the British colonizers formed a new feudal system and feudal lords were granted permanent proprietary and patrimony rights with various administrative powers within their concerned vicinity. Such unwarranted powers gave rise to class discrimination and different social complications. This feudal system is also known and called as the "Colonial Feudal System". Pakistan's current feudal system is actually a colonial legacy, which produces a culture that promotes and protects a male-dominated society where the man is centralwhile the woman ismarginalized. Ahmad Rahi's Punjabi poetry book "Tarinjan" depicts a woman who is a victim of feudal society. The poems of this book describe the plight of a woman who was oppressed during the Partition riots. The oppression and barbarism inflicted on women in these riots was in fact a manifestation of feudal thinking. This article presents a Postcolonial study of feminine consciousness in Ahmad Rahi's Punjabi poems.
