From Mulayam-Akhilesh to Deve Gowda-Kumaraswamy, these duos weren’t just family; they were power pairs shaping policy together. Dhanraj Nathwani’s recent Rajya Sabha nomination adds to this list, with his father Parimal Nathwani already a sitting MP. It’s not just about legacy; it’s about continuity. In 2009 alone, four father-son combos entered Lok Sabha together. Some served side-by-side; others across different houses. What does this mean for democracy? Is it healthy for political dynasties to dominate? Or is it just how politics works here? The next time you hear a name in Parliament, ask; who’s behind it? Because sometimes, the real story isn’t in the speech; it’s in the bloodline.
