Answer:
We are proud to be citizens of this largest democracy and our pride gets wings as we are entitled by the Constitution to cast our votes in forming a people’s government. Though this reality is phenomenal, in the context of the political system, Indian politics is very much personified as the dynastic nature of politics has been gaining ground since Independence. India may not be the only nation seeking condolence on this fact, but this multi-dimensional society is losing credibility from the leaders as they become secure of their authority in political succession.
Dynastic politics is jeopardizing the concept of democratic socialism assured by the Constitution and it simultaneously aggravates corruption and fascism in the Indian political system.
Nehru-Gandhi family may be deemed to be the pioneer of dynastic politics, which has been very much predominant, but the Congress is not solely the paragon. Many other national and regional parties practice the same. It can be cited from every part of the nation – the Mulayam Singh-Yadav family (SP) in Uttar Pradesh; Karunanidhi family (DMK) in Tamil Nadu; in Bihar, Ram Vilas Paswan’s family (LJP) and Lalu Prasad Yadav’s family (RJD). The Pilot family, Raje family, Mirdha family, Scindia family of Rajasthan. In Karnataka, it is former PM HD Deve Gowda and his two grandsons in the JD(S) who fought the recent Lok Sabha elections. Last week, BSP president Mayawati appointed her brother Anand Kumar the party’s vice-president and named her nephew Akash Anand as its national coordinator. Odisha politics has been dominated by one Patnaik family for over decades now.
This list can go on and on. While the BJP may satirize the Congress for dynastic politics, a recent study by researchers at Harvard University and the University of Mannheim shows that the BJP too is not that different. If the Congress had 36 dynastic MPs in the Lok Sabha since 1999, the BJP had 31.
One may argue here, if there is no wrong for a doctor father to aspire his children to follow his footsteps taking up the same profession in future, a business man’s child to take forward his business legacy to the next level, an Army man’s son would one day add another sacrifice to the sovereignty of India, then why don’t we suppress our endurance to explode resounding aspirations of political leaders to see their children as flag bearers of their political legacy? Because running a nation is not merely a profession, it demands more. There has to be a true competent candidate to shoulder the gravity of responsibility of governing a country like India. How could one be conferred with power and wealth just because of one’s pre-destined birth in a particular family?
Our political leaders are now unable to feel the nerve of the present day India. They forget it is a ‘Young India’, where the young generation dominates the larger population and they don’t show their utmost loyalty to the historical narrative as it has been narrated for decades. They have resentment that resulted in the recently concluded Lok Sabha elections where dynastic politics has been drastically subsided. These parties have eventually been compelled to concede that their old-fashioned quixotic strategies to woo the people on their family cards are no longer able to push them through the elections. Such bitter acceptance was recently expressed when Rahul Gandhi announced that he is firmly determined to abdicate his chairmanship of the grand old Congress party, indicating even none from his family would continue this responsibility.
Without being only an armed-chair critic, if we consider constructive criticism, we may come to a point that these leaders are not completely responsible for their family upliftment, rather we common people eventually make it happen. Despite our personal preferences, we follow leaders’ kids very closely, and we indeed desire them as our next super leaders. We want them so desperately that we unknowingly stimulate their aspirations along with putting pressure on them to outshine their family legacy with a substantial deliberation. Our loyalty towards our leaders is so blind-folded that we avowedly bow in reverence before anyone from their families as our next masters. We even compare them with their family predecessors, and if found a little less capable, we don’t think discreetly but criticize them harshly.
This great nation deserves more, there must be much desirable uniformity in opportunities practised in the society and to redefine the Indian politics to admire a true radiant prosperous nation ceasing all impurities. True democracy would prevail only when people from all walks of life will get equal opportunity to demonstrate their potential in making this nation great and there wouldn’t be any concentration of power and wealth limited to a few .
