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]

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

[Naomi Mahapatra @NaomiMahapatra]

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 nothing but institutionalised nepotism and cronyism. Let every Indian say a clear 'No' to dynastic politics in India.

[Manisha Sagar @ManishaS2010]

Why is Sonia allowed to be India's PM maker? It is clear that she wants her own son to be the next PM. Don't we have more suitable choices?

[Richard Cunningham @RCunningham2010]

Why is a country like India with a rich history, mature democracy and intelligent people still depending on just one family for its leaders?

[Dr Ram Harijan @DrRamOfIndia]

India's ruling family are incapable of tackling our serious problem of corruption simply because they are an integral part of that problem.

[Dr Ram Harijan @DrRamOfIndia]

Rahul Gandhi accusing Mayavati of dalal-raj is like the kettle calling the pot black! India has to be rid of dalals as well as dynasties.

[Rajeswari Sinha @RajeswariSinha]

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

[Bruce Loveridge @BruceLoveridge]

@RajeswariSinha Sonia Gandhi is a disgrace.

[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.

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

[Amy Winters @AmyWinters2010]

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!

[Prem Gopal @PremGopal2010]

I love India. Therefore, I am saddened ans shocked by the huge rise of corruption in Indian public life.
