YOUNG BUT WITH DYNASTIC POLITICS

New Union cabinet has many young faces but mostly from dominating political families. If present trend of dynastic politics continues where next-Gen youth from traditional political families get preference for keeping family-flag high in Indian politics, then time may not be far when Indian politics may get revolving around some few hundred Indian political families. Talent of Indian youth presently available to administer private sector, can and should be best utilised to generate New-Gen Indian politics.

New young politicians have a sizable share from families of aged professional politicians, which even put national interest at stake like DMK Chief K Karunanidihi desired all his heirs from three different wives to get ministerial posts in Union Cabinet. Real youth will be represented in the Parliament only by having an upper-age limit of say 70 years to be in legislature. It is regretting that physically and mentally retired persons like K Karunanidhi, Arjun Singh kept dominating political scene by being on responsible posts despite poor health and memory pushing their children to run their families’ political shops! It was indeed pity for India that an aged Atal Bihari Vajpayee was continued as country’s Prime Minister despite weakened memory-cells to an extent that he could not recall name of his minister standing next to him! If persons in all other sectors like in bureaucracy and judiciary have a retirement-age, why retirement-age is not fixed for legislature?
