Nepotism in Bollywood
Recently I read somewhere that most of the elected members in the Loksabha who are under the age of 40 are from families with a political background.
In a lighter tone once Rahul Gandhi told that because of his family background it is easy for him to enter politics. This is a problem and he is the symptom of the problem.
In the other fields also in India, it is well established that at varying degree it is a practice among those with power or influence, of favouring relatives or friends, especially by giving them jobs.
Logics and merits get back seats when it is a question of looking after one’s own man. Rules and regulations are broken or amended to accommodate him.
Once a family or a community or a group gets the control or ownership of a certain establishment it passes its briddles on to the descendants, generation after generation, like a royalty.
These days you can see that every alternate person in the Indian film industry is a son or daughter of a well-known actor, director or producer. Most of the small town aspirants have to go back even after struggling a lot. Or they meet the ‘casting couch’ or ‘me-too’ fate.
In this regard, the deserving lower-middle-class people are the worst sufferers who neither fall in the elite family class nor have any other privilege of reservation for getting admission in the educational institutions or in the job employment.
PS:
The beneficiary of nepotism is like a 'Joker' card in various card games which takes a wild horizontal entry and can occupy any position. Remember how Rajiv Gandhi became the prime minister of India after the tragic death of his mother Indira Gandhi who was the prime minister. And he won largest Lok Sabha majority (411/542) in the parliament in the election that followed. A resounding welcome by the people of India. So you can not say that nepotism is a hated phenomenon altogether.
