The Impending Succession in Indian Politics: The Inevitability of a Gandhi-Nehru Scion


 

Though dynasty politics has been a recurrent phenomena in Indian Politics, still, i claim here that Democracy in India will continue to be dominated by dynasty politics. The study on Dynasty politics reflects on few things. Firstly, Though Dynasty politics started as an unintended happening, yet it continues to be a permanent feature of Indian democracy. Secondly, Institutions continue to be manipulated for the larger interest of the dynasty. Yet it would not be entirely correct to state that Dynasty has hampered Democracy because it has been the Dynasty that have been able to provide an alternative power whenever Indian Politics have seen phases of turmoil.
