No wonder, in one of his addresses during his recent US visit, Rahul defended dynasty rule, describing it as an accepted reality and claiming that India “runs like this only”. Though his comments didn’t go well with the opposition- Union minister Smriti Irani called him a ‘failed dynast’, BJP president went a step ahead- claiming that his party has ended the dynasty rule in India. Ironically, dynasty continued to dominate even after India was transformed from a monarchy to democracy, thanks to the larger than life charisma of a particular family. So, does that indicate dynasty is there to stay in India? Well, it would be wrong to assume that dynasty will always flourish in India.
