      Political families of India GudangMovies21 Rebahinxxi LK21

      Although India is a parliamentary democracy, the country's politics has become dynastic or with high level of nepotism, possibly due to the absence of party organizations, independent civil-society associations which mobilize support for a party, or centralized financing of elections. The dynastic phenomenon is present at the national, state, regional, and district level. The Nehru–Gandhi family has produced three Indian prime ministers, and family members have largely led the Congress party since 1978. The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) also has several dynastic leaders. In addition to the major national parties, other national and regional parties such as Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK), Shiromani Akali Dal, Shiv Sena, Samajwadi Party, Rashtriya Janata Dal, Janata Dal Secular, Jharkhand Mukti Morcha, Kerala Congress, Jammu & Kashmir National Conference, Indian Union Muslim League, AIMIM, and the Nationalist Congress Party are all dominated by families, mostly those of the party founders.

      = Nehru–Gandhi family

      =

      The Nehru–Gandhi family's involvement with the Congress Party began with Motilal Nehru in the 1920s, when India was still part of the British Empire. The family became more influential under his son, Jawaharlal Nehru, who became a prominent figure in India's nationalist movement. After Jawaharlal's death, his daughter Indira Gandhi became his political heir, whose surname comes from her husband, Feroze Gandhi. The Nehru-Gandhi dynasty has dominated the Congress Party since Indian independence in 1947. The party was defeated in the 2014 elections, however, and high-level defections took place in Maharashtra, Assam, West Bengal, and Jammu and Kashmir. The family still has widespread name recognition.

      Haryana


      The Lal Trio denotes the influential trio of politicians originating from the Indian state of Haryana. Consisting of Devi Lal, Bansi Lal, and Bhajan Lal, these figures emerged as central pillars in Haryana's political landscape, shaping its governance and policies over several decades. Their collective influence not only garnered widespread recognition but also catalyzed the establishment of enduring political legacies under their surname. Integral to their political narrative is the phenomenon of "Aaya Ram Gaya Ram" politics, a term originating from an infamous incident in Haryana's political history. This phrase encapsulates the practice of legislators frequently switching political allegiances, often in pursuit of personal gain or ideological convenience. The Lal Trio, adept practitioners of this craft, leveraged it to their advantage, further consolidating their hold on power and influence within the region. Other than the Lal Trio, only other family which emerged as the most dominant and influential family is the Hooda Family. Bhupinder Singh Hooda has served as Chief Minister of the State for two simultaneous terms and is a mass leader dominating state as well as national politics. His son Deepender Singh Hooda emerged as the youth icon of Indian National Congress and is carrying forward his family legacy.
