Problems Of Rural Population In Pakistan

There are two types of population basically found in Pakistan. First is Urban and the other is rural. Urban population is that which lives in cities and towns which are developed or at the point of development. On the other hand, rural population is that which lives in villages. There is much difference in the lifestyles of both types of population. In Pakistan, urban population is living in much more better fashion if we compare it to lifestyle and problems of rural population. Life in rural areas of Pakistan isn't easy and sometimes it seems that Pakistani rural population is still living in 18th century. Though many parts of rural areas are supplied with electricity and gas specially in the Sindh region but the overall life of these villagers is filled with problems. There are many problems which these poor people are facing but I will explain few major problems of our villagers.

1. Health Problems:

The most prominent problem which our villagers are facing is the problem of health. Even after 64 years of independence, our rural population is not being provided suitable health and care services from the government. There is lack of hospitals and doctors in these areas and we see only those doctors servicing here who possess the passion of servicing the humanity and mankind and we know that there is lack of such people in our country so a huge majority of our rural dwellers are not getting fine facilities of heath and care which is resulting in epidemic diseases and deaths. The recent example is of Thar where hundreds of people died due to multiple diseases in drought conditions. Many common diseases which can be easily cures bring the messages of death to these villagers because they don't know where to cure these diseases. This is a shameful thing.

2. Food Problems:

The large quantity of food which we eat is grown by our villagers but its a disgraceful fact that the people who grow this food die with lack of food. That's true. Due to feudal system, it is a common practice that our farmers and peasants don't get the worth amount of their work. The big profit goes in the pocket of landlord and the people who did hard work in the land get a tiny share. Due to this, lack of food is another big problem of rural population.

3. Water Problems:

Lets talk about the average type of landlords and farmers of this population. In words, they own a land but there problem is that they get almost nothing from their land. The reason is that the "big crocodiles" by force or by corruption get the most of water and these "small fishes" receive a little amount of water to irrigate their fields. Thus failed to get good crops from their land. This is causing them to remain poor and helpless. Well it was about the crops, even the human don't have to drink clean water. Lack of clean water is horrible thing in these areas. Humans and animals drink from the same pond.. Can it be tolerated in an urban population?? But these poor people are bearing this. They are living just like Ethiopians..

4. Feudalism Problems:

Feudalism is itself a problem for our rural population. The landlord in an area lives like the totalitarian king of his area. What he does becomes the law of that area. They don't care of the common people in their territory and keep ruining them for which they aren't answerable to Government and law. They do inhuman activities and brutal acts but are still called respectable. This way our rural population is suffering in a dual way. No one is to really hear them because they only know the landlord of their state.

Well the problems of our rural population aren't end here. They are suffering in many other ways like women rights, unavailability of basic facilities etc but I end my article here. Its better to see the poor condition of these villagers with our own eyes rather than just reading in papers or blogs.
