Wow, your knowledge about Indian democracy is poor. Man, Rahul Gandhi is 42 years old, not a 24 year old kid. Can you please tell us when exactly did they make a 20 year old as their 'co-chairman'? Please take a look at his political career. He started by contesting an ordinary lower house seat. Presently, he is the General Secretary. In the recent UP elections, he led Congress's election campaign and many voters detested the fact that he was leading a campaign just because he happened to be a Gandhi. Result: Congress and BJP both lost and a THIRD force Samajwadi party won the election.
You can answer his call all you like, but please don't distort facts. India is slowly but surely moving away from dynasties. And very soon we will as well.
Sir, rahul gandhi is in his 40ies now nt when he started his politics...I dont see how age is a factor here...he is a gandhi and that why he will lead congress, sonia is a gandhi and that why she is leading congress right now...
and you quoted UP elections, if rahul was the "deciding" factor than BJP should have won...which is not a "dynastic" party...
finally you said India is slowwwly moving away from dynasties...so after 60 years of uninterrupted democracy...uninterrupted elections, India is slowly moving away..
Ok so lets shelve this debate till Pak has had 60 years of uninterrupted democracy..
us arguing about dynastic politics is like comparing a suzuki mehran to a mercedes benz....
