Young people of my generation are sickened by the antics of Sonia and her family. They have, effectively, hijacked our democracy.

[Dr Ram Harijan @DrRamOfIndia]

Dynastic politics is political abuse pure and simple. It combines nepotism and cronyism to produce a nationally harmful form of favouritism.

[Arjun Monappa @ArjunMonappa]

@NaomiMahapatra That family seems to behave as if they own India!

[Arjun Monappa @ArjunMonappa]

@DrRamOfIndia It is time to pension this family off as we pensioned off all rulers of our princely states immediately after independence.

[Dr Ram Harijan @DrRamOfIndia]

Dynastic politics is producing second-rate leaders in India. We must say 'No' to dynasties and move to a meritocratic way of doing things.

[Dr Ram Harijan @DrRamOfIndia]

In dynastic politics, merit is irrelevant because birth determines everything. Ignoring merit is a luxury which India can no longer afford.

[Dr Ram Harijan @DrRamOfIndia]

I have nothing against Rahul Gandhi. But making him our Prime Minister just because of his good looks or popular surname will be a blunder.

[Dr Ram Harijan @DrRamOfIndia]

Dynastic politics is an insidious form of political corruption that has to be roundly condemned until it is eliminated from our public life,

[Dr Ram Harijan @DrRamOfIndia]

Dynastic politics has no future in India. More and more Indians are joining the national campaign against this kind of political corruption.

[Rajeswari Sinha @RajeswariSinha]

India's Italian-headed ruling family is behaving just like their mafia-countrymen subverting our democracy and taking over our government.

@BruceLoveridge Tibetan people must have the right to self-determination of their future. The Chinese simply have no right to suppress them!

[Dr Ram Harijan @DrRamOfIndia]

History shows that nepotism divided Christians into various sects. Do not let us make the same mistake in India. Say 'No' to dynasties now.

[Dr Ram Harijan @DrRamOfIndia]

Dynastic politics is history in India. Only merit (i.e., proven ability and relevant experience) will count in the selection of future PMs.

[Dr Ram Harijan @DrRamOfIndia]

After the dark years of dynastic politics immediately after independence, India has rightly said 'Goodbye' to discredited family rule now.

[Dr Ram Harijan @DrRamOfIndia]

Say 'No' to dynastic politics that produces second rate Prime Ministers. India can no longer afford to bypass merit in choosing its leaders.

[Dr Ram Harijan @DrRamOfIndia]

Dynastic politics has cost India very dearly. Only a true meritocracy can tap our rich human and material resources to our full advantage.

[Dr Ram Harijan @DrRamOfIndia]

Dynastic politics encouraged corruption and turned India into a kleptocracy. Our task is to transform our country into a true meritocracy.

I recently met a Yogi in the Himalayas. I think we in the West need to learn a lot from these people. Otherwise we will have more Oslos!
