FEUDAL SYSTEM IN PAKISTAN

Can we really get rid of feudal system from a Democratic Pakistan?

Feudal system is enforced in the most of the parts of the country in Pakistan. Feudal system is defined as, "A state of society in which the main social bond is the relation between lord and man, a relation implying on the lord's part protection and defence: on the man's part protection, service and reverence, the service including service in arms. This personal relation is inseparably involved in a proprietary relation, the tenure of land. The man holds of the lord, the man's service is a burden on the land, the lord has important rights in the land. The "King" or "Lord" was ultimate lord of all land in a Kingdom before separation of Pakistan. He granted land to his lords in return for military and other services, and they in their turn made further similar grants, the process being known as "Subinfeudation". The unit of land in the system was the manor, each under its lord, who had a right to services in labour and in kind from the villeins, the servile tenants of the manor, over whom he exercised full jurisdiction. The lord in return owned them a duty of protection. The "King" had an overriding authority and claimed allegiance both from lords and their tenants."

To write this paragraph means to get the comments on feudal system in Pakistan and to find out the way to get rid of this feudal system. Or to know that are we able or capable of to get rid of this system in realty or not yet?
