![]() Reportedly, on March 5th this year, Shahnawaz Khar was forcibly hauled in front of the main doada (word used in Muzaffargarh Saraiki for chief landlord) of the Khar tribe, Malik Ghulam Mustafa by the latter’s four sons, and beaten and humiliated. We have political parties and institutions that behave the same way as traditional feudal landowners.īut such distinctions may not matter to people like Shahnawaz Khar, a man of docile and soft disposition, known to the world for his contribution to journalism rather than his connection with the notorious Khar clan. Also, feudalism has morphed into many shapes and forms even penetrating the urban upper-middle class, which means that the attitude is no longer restricted to rural areas.

It’s often that we come across the argument that feudalism does not exist in Pakistan anymore.
