In an interview with ‘Historically Speaking’, Dr. Aishwarya Pandit engages in a thought-provoking conversation with S. Prasannarajan, the Editor of Open Magazine. Together, they delve into the profound and lasting influence of the Nehru-Gandhi dynasty on Indian politics. Prasannarajan shares his insightful perspective on the dynasty’s legacy and its profound impact on the political landscape of the nation.
Prasannarajan said,”Dynasty is not necessarily anti-democratic Because in politics everywhere there are some of this, India has one of the longest-serving dynasties, the Gandhis. Yes. America had the Kennedys for a long time like that. You know, Sri Lanka had a long big dynasty. But in India, take the Indian dynasty, I think, It’s not a question of how they are anti-democratic. It’s how relevant they are today. The sun is setting over the dynasties, you know, surname politics has its limits. So now, I think most of the dynasties in India. Look at the Gandhi Dynasty, for example, it is going down.”
