Political families of India
Although a parliamentary democracy, Indian politics has increasing become dynastic, possibly due to the absence of a party organization, independent civil society associations that mobilize support for the party, and centralized financing of elections.[1] The dynastic phenomenon is seen from national level down to district level. One example of dynastic politics has been the Nehru–Gandhi family which produced three Indian prime ministers. Family members have also led the Congress party for most of the period since 1978 when Indira Gandhi floated the then Congress(I) faction of the party.[2] The ruling Bharatiya Janata Party also features several senior leaders who are dynasts.However, the phenomenon of dynastism is at much lower level in the BJP than the Congress party.[3][4] Dynastic politics is prevalent also in a number of political parties with regional presence.Among the regional parties, the NCP has particularly high level of dynasticism. [4]
This is a partial listing of prominent political families of India.
Nehru–Gandhi family
The Nehru family (often called Nehru–Gandhi family) was established by Motilal Nehru in the early 1900s when India was still part of the British empire. It was further established by his son, Jawaharlal Nehru, who emerged as a prominent figure in India's nationalist movement. After Nehru's death, his daughter, Indira Gandhi, became his political heir, hence, the Gandhi surname, which came from her husband Feroze Gandhi's name. The family, therefore, is not related to Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi. The Nehru-Gandhi dynasty has dominated the Indian rules , governing the Congress Party since the Indian independence in 1947.[5] Recent developments, however, indicate some setbacks such as the crushing defeat of the Congress Party in the 2014 elections and a series of top-level defections such as those in states like Maharashtra, Assam, West Bengal, and Jammu and Kashmir.[6] The dynasty is strongly embedded in the Indian polity that the name continues to have an instinctive hold on loyalties of so many voters.[7]
