Conclusion
Concluding, we may use Shakespearean expression to
say, feudalism thy name is corruption. A feudalistic state is a corrupt state.
It has provincial Assemblies and a Parliament composed of General Assembly and
the Senate, as in today’s Pakistan, both dominated by the feudal who manage to
reach there through a so called democratic process that is their own hand maid.
Powered with monopoly over material resources, fired with absolute authority to
rule over millions, treasured with tons of money to buy required number of
votes, armed with Kalashnikov carrying body guards to intimidate opponents into
submission, they secure their seats in Halls of Democracy as MNAs aid MPAs as a
routine matter. After establishing their political strongholds as such, what
ever they do is for self promotion only. Voters are forgotten. National
interests are put aside. That explains why our nation has remained illiterate,
poverty has reigned supreme. common man’s life, property and honour has fallen
victim to feudalistic anti-social practices Suicides, rapes, dacoities,
murders, abductions and kidnappings for ransom have become common— all under
their very nose, but they are not bothered. They indulge in high profile
corruption that seeps down below to corrupt the entire nation. Brakes are
applied to the economic growth and whatever GDP is somehow created is eaten up
by them through devious means.
The above observation leads us to only one
conclusion. The country will never be able to make headway in any field of its
life unless it gets rid of feudalism. This is a cancer that demands surgical
operation, a big change that uproots feudalism and turns Pakistan into an
Islamic Welfare State. To bring about such a great change the emergence of a
man of destiny is needed who will achieve 100 % education, equitable
distribution of wealth to the complete elimination of poverty. restore the
human rights of all sections of the society, and ensure social, administrative
and economic justice at all levels. He will establish God’s kingdom which means
empowerment of the common man. Assemblies and the government will be manned by
true representatives of the people and enforcement of Islamic laws— which of
course does not mean the application of unIslamic practices that have, in the
past, led to the distortion of the true and fair image of Islam. That shall be
a real democratic Pakistan looking after the material as well as spiritual
needs of its citizens. Concentration of wealth, political power and authority
of discretion in fewer hands, will be strictly guarded against.
