You would think, in all that translating, a "please" might have surfaced somewhere.

Still.... although I won't be writing your 500 words FOR you, there are some excellent resources and explanations at the sites below

Feudalism is a system where a weak king divides his estates in exchange for loyalty from the Lords who receive the gift of land. To see feudalism at work in India see: India under the Raj.

The feudal system effectively came into being in Europe in about the 11th century - it was nothing to do with weak kings as the first answer suggests. It was a hierarchial system which assumed the monarch owned all land. He would give larger areas to his most important nobles in exchange for services - mainly the supply of men for armies in times of war. In their turn those nobles let out smaller pieces of land to their henchmen (sub-infeudation) and so on and so on, until you got right down to the bottom of the human heap, to the serfs, or villeins, who were the peasantry who worked the lord's land for nothing, basically in exchange for his protection, their homes etc. The system began to collapse in the 14th century following the Black Death when there weren't enough people to work the land, be soldiers etc., and people began to want paying for the goods and services they provided. I don't think this system pertained in India where society was stratified on the caste system which was/is entirely different.
