All of India runs on dynasties, why single me out: Rahul at Berkeley

So, the meritocracy is not valid for low ranking officials.

Hu Jintao was Chinese premier right? So, his son becoming mayor is not ideal for your argument.
They are not influential in Chinese politics and they are not the core group decision makers in China. Hu himself worked his way up from a poor humble background.

Being mayor of a city is a political position.

Also, Dynasty politics is not limited to putting one's kid in a high ranking position and make things obvious, there can be other favors too.

Current ruling government in India do not follow dynasty politics either.

Although I'm no fan of Modi/BJP he came from a humble background, raised up through ranks and became PM.

There are indeed some party which follow Dynasty politics, but people stop buying that. Else, we would be seeing Rahul as our PM. That didn't happen right.

Rahul Gandhi is being a demagogue spewing sophistry. Let see...

Whose wealth Ambani can squander? Whose money does down the drain if he makes a stupid decision? Mostly his own or those who invested in this organisation willingly.

Whose wealth Birla can squander? His and his investors..

Whose money will Rahul-Kaka squander? Public Money!

This is the basic difference. Dynastic heads in family business is not same as that in national policy and governance.

Don't quote me for the sake of quoting me. You are not a Chinese, nor you are Indian.

The question or reply is not directed at you.

Thanks

Facts are facts. Would you disagree with that premise?

The question is how many indian politicians are awarded with degrees from a good reputable school :D

These are ivy league school with reputation to up hold, they dont take in any animals you know?
Facts are facts. Would you disagree with that premise?

Yale took Dubya. Enough said!
Wharton took Trump. Enough said!

The biggest qualification to get into Ivy League? Write a $500K+ Cheque.

If I say one politician then you will say, just one? If I name the next one, then you will say other excuses.

I know the general pattern.

It's not the topic at hand? It's about politicians and their kin, their influence in politics.

I don't know. Someone just said "Facts are Facts. Would you disagree with that premise?"

Ah! If you are desperate for an answer. Here goes the politicians who went to Ivy. Those I can figure. There are more than a 1000 people in upper and lower houses of parliament. I can't dig up the details of everyone.

I'll pick the easy one's.

Starting with Jawaharlal Nehru -- Cambridge, Rajiv Gandhi -- Cambridge, Manmohan Singh -- Oxford, Shashi Taroor -- Tuff's University, Jayram Ramesh -- MIT.

I'm not a warrior :lol: I tried to avoid your rants, just that you are asking for it. I hope you sleep well after reading this.
