dynastic rule
by dayanand nene on Oct 21, 2005 10:14 PM

Ashok Mitra has hit the nail on the head. The people of our country have by tradition been of a mindset or mentality - " Raja vis-a-vis Praja", i.e. the king and his subjects.
Rahul Gandhi knows the importance of his place and family of birth and thus he is absolutely right when he says that he can be PM whenever he desires to be - in the current political scenario - his 'mummy' will organise things in 2 minutes!
As to whether the Nehru-Gandhi dynasty rule will continue- lets add a VADRA to it - only the people of this great country can determine.
But such things happen when the country's oldest political party remains spineless, when the country's over 50% population lives below poverty lines in 2 of the most crucial states i.e. UP and Bihar.
If things have to change- people shall have to show a greater will and wisdom, else lets annoint P Vadra's son/daughter as our supreme leader and let her rule till they come off age!!!
