There is one solution for Indian political dynasties. Their survival
is being called into question. The recent elections have shown that if
there is an opportunity, then people will vote against dynasts, unless
there are pressing reasons. According to the law of Genetics, eventually
the genes of any family will deteriorate and there will be sharp
deterioration in the fortunes of all. This affects politicians too. The
original founder of a dynasty is usually a very sharp person and has the
grit and hardiness to succeed. Then he wants his progeny to succeed him
and take-over his political empire. This is where the trouble starts.
Many a time, the heirs are very mediocre and sustain office only by
accident or due to the general lethargy in the Indian system.
