Evils of feudalism
Feudalism is essentially anti-Islamic and anti
democratic. So long it reigns supreme, neither Islam nor democracy will ever
come to Pakistan. Evils of feudalism are: A feudal is a fascist, a dictator,
despot. His word is law. In Assemblies he looks after his own interests
neglecting the problems of the common man. He keeps his people uneducated. He
avoids economic development of his area. He ensures his people remain
illiterate and backward so that he can keep his stranglehold tightened over
them. He promotes un-Islamic customs such as vani, sawara, honour killings etc
to keep them involved endlessly in their personal problems. He marries his own
daughters with Quran to deny them their share in his property. He lacks
political ethics and changes parties at will to suit his vested interests thus
destabilizing political environment. He has little sense of patriotism and is
least concerned with the good of the people r the country. He joins hands with
his industrial counter-part to raise general price level of consumer goods to
multiply his profits. His religious half-brother the Mullah is ever-ready to
bring forth Islam to justify his un-Islamic concentration of agricultural
holdings, wealth and exploitation of his people. As an extremist the Mullah
concocts his own version of Islam misleading the illiterate millions and
ignorant masses to establish his personal sphere of influence. He initiates,
promotes and justifies suicidal bombing in the name of jihad. However, the worst
side of feudalism is that it is a standing threat to the security and integrity
of the country. It caused the separation of East Pakistan in 1971 and is
continuously at work to alienate federating units from the Centre.
