Political Dynasties!

I don't agree with the view that India's family values and relations are descending day by day. I will take an example from all the political families that are part of Indian politics from the day we got independence.

There are two three ways to succeed in India especially in Indian politics. Let us start from south India and take an example from DR.Karunanidhi (Chief Minister of Tamilnadu) to get married to three wives (Don't ask me whether it is legal? Everything works in Indian politics) and have as many children with them as possible.

After all who knows which child is going to be useful in the feature. Now one son is Central Cabinet Minister, one is his successor to his throne in the state. If you think all the worry is with the son of his sweet third wife you are mistaken. Just see he will be Chairman of some Public Service commission or Central Exercise very soon. I know you will get a doubt, how can he become a chairman without any qualifications ( of course he is highly qualified Rowdy in southern city of Madurai) but who are we talking about here he is CM's son.

If you move to East in the North East State of Assam, Dr.Sangma has once supported Congress and he was awarded Speaker of the Lok Sabha at that time. That is not enough, now his Daughter a 28 year old and I doubt she knew anything about governance is the Central Minister.

Then, there is Abdullah family in the Valley of Kashmir in North India. Farooq Abdullah who used to be Chief Minister of Kashmir(He is the son of freedom fighter Sheik Abdullah) is now Central Minister and his Son Omar Abdullah is the chief Minister and his cousin Sachin Pilot is Central Minister again.

How can we forget Lallu and Rabri in the state of Bihar. They transferred secretariat into their Kitchen for almost fifteen years. You know what is Rabri Devi's qualificication to become chief Minister of Bihar? Who are you kidding she is the wife of lallu is that not enough :).

Then the Mother of all is the Gandhi family. Jawaharlal Nehru is the first Prime Minister of India. Indira Gandhi his daughter is also the first and only Women Prime Minister of India. Rajiv Gandhi son of Indira Gandhi is the Prime Minister after her assassination and his wife Sonia Gandhi who originally hails from Italy is the unofficial Prime Minister of India and the most powerful Women(in fact person) of India. And then there is Son Rahul Gandhi who is project to be the next Prime Minister of India. Heck, there will be his Grandson(son of Pryinka Vadhera) who will be ready by 2020.

Then there is the second way. Just be an actor or even a cricketer. Just look in my home state of Andhra Pradesh where a superstar actor Mr N.T.Rama Rao with no governing experience has become the chief Minister in less than nine months he formed a party. Although, the service he made was commendable now his sons, daughters, Son in laws are still trying to grab power with his name and fame.

Ladies and Gentleman, there is no dynasty to Mahatma Gandhi and there is none to Dr RadhaKrishnan, Prakasam Pantulu and Vavilala Gopalakrishnayya. There can be dynasties in business like Tata's and Birla's in our country but these political dynasties in so called secular country based on caste,religion and just the family background is not only unacceptable but unethical.
