On the continuing of the present day politicians, this is about Rahul Gandhi. In this post it shows how a legacy continues without enough qualifications or justifications, but just being born to the Nehru - Gandhi family gives them the natural right to rule. Rahul Gandhi, has a lot of gaping holes in his past life, educational qualification and his previous job history. It is distorted and no one has a clear picture. This again comes under the Election Commission's purview to disclose the relevant facts about the future MP, MLA or the Prime Minister of this country.
A brief history of Rahul Gandhi...
Rahul Gandhi attended St.Columbia's School, New Delhi before entering the The Doon School. Rahul Gandhi attended Doon from 1981-83 before being home-schooled for security reasons. His admission to St Stephen's College was controversial as he was believed to have been admitted on the basis of his abilities as a competitive pistol shooter, which was disputed and left the school in 1990, after one year of education.
The Harvard alumni records list him as attending between 1990 and 1993 but not as completing a degree. He transferred, reportedly due to security concerns following his father's murder, to Rollins College in Florida where he completed a B.A. in 1994. During the parliamentary elections in 2004, Gandhi claimed that he had received an MPhil in Development Economics after attending Trinity College, Cambridge. Media enquiries report that he attended under the alias ("Raul Vinci"). He worked in London with the strategy consultancy firm Monitor Group, before returning to India in late 2002 to run an engineering and technology outsourcing firm in Mumbai. But none of this has been confirmed and whenever someone tried to rake this up, his team of image lawyers have slapped defamation cases, like in the case of Newsweek and a blog run by Hindu Unity was shut down.
The other controversies were the statements uttered by him, which has hurt to the people of Bangladesh and about the Babri Masjid demolition would not have happened if there was anyone from the Nehru - Gandhi family at the helm. These were real irresponsible and arrogant remarks, which was condemned but nothing could stop him going forward with his plans of projecting himself as the future leader of this country.
This nation is plagued with this dynasty rule and giving importance to one family, by not seeing the capability of progeny of the illustrious leaders. It is taken for granted that the progeny will be as good as their ancestors.
There are a few questions that I would like to ask Mr. Gandhi...
This is not using your name or your power...
1. Have you ever stood in a queue for Kerosene in a ration shop?
2. Have you travelled in a suburban train or a bus before or after office time?
3. Have you been to a RTO office for procuring a learners license?
4. Have you been to a passport office to obtain an application?
5. Have you ever been to a municipal office to obtain a birth/ death certificate or even a caste certificate?
6. Have you ever felt the pressure of living within your wages?
7. Have you ever been to a police station to complain and file a FIR?
Sorry Mr. Gandhi...
You have never done this before. Try doing this and find the exact position of the common man. I feel unless you have encountered the problems the aam admi face, you can never understand and lead this country. You can comment sitting on a lofty position and with your false sense of concern.
It is easy for an actor's son to become an actor, it is easy to become a doctor for a doctor's son and the list goes on...
But to become the best in one's chosen field is strewn with a bed of thorns, but it is easy to follow when the ground work is done.
Mr. Gandhi, you have had it easy all through your life and I feel that you are just misusing the Nehru - Gandhi dynasty name to attain your life goals. There were days when Mrs. Sonia Gandhi used to hide in the Italian Embassy fearing her life in the times of trouble. Now she is the Rajmata of this country.
This surname used by your clan is of convenience, as Feroze Gandhi, was Feroze Gandhy...
I would say get real and if you are really concerned in leading the country, get to the grassroots and work in tandem with the poor and understand their needs, their pulse and then get into politics. I appreciate your project of identifying young leaders without any past affiliations and training them to be your trusted lieutenants.
But I still doubt your sincerity and your intent.

A strange route brought me here :-)
Interesting thought, although personally I am unaware of the claims made by Rahul and factual distortions in it, i definitely appreciate the point you have made here- Progenies need not be as good as their ancestors.
Unfortunately indians still seem to be fascinated by fair skin, a legacy left by the britishers.. in that sense we are as racist as the americans before 70s..
