My Feudal Lord By Tehmina Durrani

My Feudal Lord is the bold and courageous autobiography of Tehmina Durrani, which shook Pakistan’s political and social circles upon its release. The book narrates her tumultuous marriage to the powerful feudal and politician Mustafa Khar, revealing the harsh realities of patriarchy, abuse, and oppression that women often endure in South Asian societies.

Through her personal story, Tehmina sheds light on the contradictions of a society where power, politics, and tradition often overshadow human rights and dignity. The book not only exposes the abuse of feudal power but also highlights a woman’s struggle for freedom, identity, and voice in a male-dominated culture.

Candid, emotional, and deeply unsettling, this memoir is more than just an autobiography—it is a powerful account of resilience and a critique of the feudal system that continues to influence South Asian politics and social structures.
