. What according to you are the repercussions
of nepotism in India
Answers
Answer:
Indian Politics has seen the most of nepotism in its history, despite ours being a democratic country. Right from Motilal Nehru to Rahul Gandhi (Congress Party), India has been ruled by a dynasty, which is still trying to perpetuate its rule. But apart from this party, that of course is on the top when it comes to nepotism in Indian politics, there are various other parties, mainly regional, like the Samajvadi Party (governed and formed by Mulayam Yadav and later taken over by his son Akhilesh Yadav) which have been working on the principles of nepotism. In Maharashtra, the Thackeray’s have maintained their domination from Balasaheb to Uddhav Thackeray. In Kashmir, the Abdulla’s and the Muftis’ have been in power for years. These are few yet major examples of nepotism being followed in India.
There are various factors that contribute towards such political nepotism, especially in a country like India, the first being its citizens. Some might strongly agree, while the others may not but the people of India are used to being dominated. They are used to hierarchical rule in the olden days, to the kingship in these modern times. It is mainly because of the notion, brought up by the ‘Varna System’, which states that only the son of a priest becomes. This still prevails because most of the Indian population is still illiterate and therefore, this becomes the best and the easiest way to choose their representatives.
