Feudalism is a system of landownership by superior classes in special
relation to the royal or state power. Its a system of receiving land from a
king and in return working and fighting for him. The feudal system
revolves not around the matriarchal system but around the patriarchal
system of family in which the male head takes care of the family, which is
commonly a large joint family, and looks after the land he owns in
inheritance. Feudalism in Pakistan, which is a descendent of Indian
feudalism, has its roots and characteristics entrenched in local history
(such as the influence and intent of invaders) and society (such as the
social structure), though there might be certain similarities between
Medieval Europe and Medieval India in the realm of feudalism. Land
reforms are a method to reallocate rights to distribute land more
equitably. In Pakistan, land reforms introduced in 1959 made the ceiling
of ownership at 500 acres of irrigated land and 1000 acres of nonirrigated land or 36.000 produce index units. The paper examines the
decline of feudalism in Pakistan and also discusses the major challenges
to feudalism in India and Pakistan.
