Is it democracy or dynastic politics at play in India?
Letter Published in The National ,Uae on 17,July 12 .Your story Rahul, the heir not so apparent (July 16) was an interesting read. Ever since Nehru was elected prime minister in 1947 – to be followed by his daughter Indira Gandhi and grandson Rajiv Gandhi – India has had dynastic politics.
Now, the fact that the government is projecting Rahul, the grandson of the late Indira Gandhi, indicates an attitude that only this family should rule.
If India is the largest democratic country in the world, democracy is a funny thing. K Ragavan, India
