Dear Kolhapuri: He was expressing amazement not condescending. And "nepotism" in America is of a different shade than what it is in India. Hillary is a self-accomplished lady, with very little help from her husband in professional matters. Unlike your friend Rabri Devi (very well accomplished lady, in the reproduction department) or for that matter Madame President (nepotism department, force the bank to loan her own relatives) or Jayalalitha (all relatives whom she claims as one).
Nepotism in the Indian political context would mean foisting somebody on people's head just because she/he is related to the ex-leader. In America, try doing that - you and I (ie Indians) are voting in the Gandhi-parivar for the dynasty name; Bush comes to power after sheer campaigning (would have liked to say performance, but boarders would ahve torn me apart) ...
So first get your political understanding right. And more so, the discussion should be the point he raised, instead trying to run his ideas down. You have any counter idea / opinion to what he said? Or should we also say, what does Kolhapuri know? He is half-baked the day he was born and remains so ... does not augur well for an intellectual argument on the board, mate !!!
