Just like in every aspect of civilized society, there must be some sort of pre-requisite conditions before a person be made eligible to contest elections rather than on the baseless consent of head of political party%u2026.. These regulations should be framed by eminent persons for field and shouldn%u2019t be relaxed for anyone whomsoever he/she may be. Few of my suggestions would be%u2026. 1. Nationality 2. Education 3. No criminal background 4. Some sort of degree/diploma in political science 5. Written test or interview session before grant of approval (publically accessible) 6. Experience in civic service before embarking on main-frame politics 7. Candidates own discretion or willingness to join politics 8. Etc. Such regulations will definitely refrain contemporary politicians to appoint their kins as their successors and reduce present chaos in the Indian subcontinent and elsewhere. Also give full freedom to the kids of politicians who may be really willing to pursue the career of their parents but only after attaining certain level of qualifications.

i appriciate your points..the same thing was discussed some time around 1 year back and that time our leaders have said that framing charges and Criminal background is a part of Politics so it is upto public to decide who has a clean image and they should select. But these idiots do not know if ultimately it is public's responsibility then what the hell these leaders are appointed for? what is the meaning of democracy? These leaders know very well if these suggestions are implemented, their shops of politics will be shutted down and they will be on roads....
