National democratic features of any country that practice democracy
Answers
a) 28.6% of all our Lok Sabha member of Parliaments (MPs) are hereditary member of Parliaments, i.e. their fathers or uncles were earlier MPs from the same seat or neighboring seat and they also came in politics following their elders.
b) Out of all the political parties we have, 37.5% of Lok Sabha MPs of the biggest party currently, Congress, are hereditary MPs (he refers to them as HMPs for simplicity). For BJP, the main opposition party, the corresponding figure is around 19%. Only for parties like AIADMK and TDP is it 0%, while for DMK and SP is it roughly 30% or more and for RLD, all its 5 MPs are HMPs (100%), with NCP the second (7 out of its 9 MPs or 77% approx. are HMPs).
c) Most women MPs were HMPs with only a few like Mamata, Mayawati and Jayalalithaa, being the ones not under such category.
d) Finally something quite important. As the biggest party of current Parliament, Congress represents this trend the most: All its MPs under the age of 30 are HMPs or hereditary MPs, and with a decrease in age of its MPs, a higher share of its MPs are HMPs. So 86.4% of its MPs in the age group of 31-40 are HMPs, while the same figure for Congress MPs in age group of 41-50 is almost half at 43.9%, and it's the ones around 31-40 who will last longer in politics generally compared to those around 41-50, so Congress is moving towards dynasty not only at top level but also at bottom.
In other words, not just our political parties are like family fiefdoms, but our Lok Sabha may be resembling a Vansh Sabha (Vansh is like family lineage, and so literally it would mean House of those from family lineages).
