Dear Mr Kamat, Although I agree with you that there is a tendency for political dynasties in India, I strongly resent the Nehru family being cited as an example and no other context provided. Please bear in mind that this family has split their blood for India and if the Indian in the village, the Indian in the slum, the India in the factory wishes to believe that this family has their best interests at heart, then more power to them.
Afterall, the last time I checked India was a democratic country and elections are held to elect our representations. If you are citing the Nehrus as an example of political dynastic rule then put things in their proper perspective and give us reasons as to why they have remained in power over the decades otherwise your article speaks of nothing more than your own biases. selma ------------------------------------- --- "Goa's Pride Goa-World.Com" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: There are numerous > examples > of this, notable among them being the reasons for > the > Gandhi family to remain in politics at various > times > inspite of Rajivs disinterest, Sonias > unwillingness > and then the children, Rahul and Priyankas having > better things to do.
