Dynasticism seems inevitable in all vocations!

The Principal opposition party at the centre i.e the BJP time and again taken potshots at the congress party for having perpetuated dynasty and running a party like a family run business.In todays day and age 2nd generation folks may it be film industry, politics, sports, legal profession or medical field are having an edge over first generation folks in the same pursuit on account of having patronage from one's parent/guardian.Its not illegitimate or unethical to promote ones offspring in ones chosen vocation eiher to perpetuate the vocation or to bequeath one's legacy. The common man however gets worked up if this sort of phenomena exists in politics. In todays ratrace for a man to begin from scartch without any real backing is a herculean task and one should be a self-made man.


In Monarchic regimes of yesteryears dynasticism was legitimate and fair but with evolution of politics and emergence of new schools of thought and ideologies monarchy was rendered obsolete.Human nature is such that one would always want his/her offspring to embark the career path that himself/herself has been pursuing.


Inheriting wealth from ones father and squandering it mindlessly is an instance of dynasticism in which the 2nd generation doesn't live upto the expectations of the earlier generation. Its imperative that the 2nd generations inculcates in them the values, principles and ethics the earlier generation abided by and sweared by. One must ensure that something which is conferred upon them by dint of having taken birth in one family is a gift of fate and he/she must excercise great deal of diligence and shoulder responsibility to such an extent that goodwill and reputation remains intact or perhaps enhances rather than just taking pride in ones surname and paying lip service and becoming complacent in life. It is incumbent on every generation to create a 2nd line leadership to hand over the baton and to have someone to carry the torch.
