On this special report, Rajdeep Sardesai hosts a debate on the role of family-based parties in Indian politics with columnist and author Tavleen Singh and political analyst Sanjay Jha. The discussion covers whether dynastic politics is a legitimate, voter-approved phenomenon or a form of ‘democratic feudalism’ that harms the nation’s democratic principles. Singh argues that it is an ugly, anti-democratic reality, stating, ‘You don’t have the right to hand over Maharashtra to your heirs or, you know, or India’. Jha counters that family dynasties are an accepted part of Indian politics, similar to caste, and derive legitimacy from electoral mandates, pointing to data showing their prevalence across all major parties, including the BJP. The conversation also touches upon the recent Bihar election results, the role of the Gandhi family, and whether criminalization of politics and funding are more significant challenges facing India’s democracy.
