Question : 54 of 60

Marks: +1, -0

Barring a few short preludes, when, for instance, Lai Bahadur Shastri or Narasimha Rao became prime minister (albeit not for democratic reasons), for a large part of its post-independence period, India has been ruled by the Nehru dynasty.
Indian politics is not new to this; for instance in the Mahabharata the entire ‘epic’ unfolds as a result of unstinted power vested in the hands of a leader.
There is practically no accountability of the leaders to anyone except the token concern for their voters at the end of five years, which is also at best a momentary surge and not an underlying principle.
It is again a corollary of the feudal political culture that makes the leader assume all powers to do whatever he or she likes and certainly, Mayawati is not the one who set the precedent.
