Wazed (Joy) is going to participate as one of the speakers on Martch 17 on the topic ‘Is Dynasty a Burden or Boon?’. The politics of inheritance is a standout feature of the Indian subcontinent. The Nehru-Gandhis of India are the longest serving political dynasty in South Asia, followed by the Bhutto-Zardari dynasty in Pakistan and the Mujib-Sheikh Hasina dynasty in Bangladesh. The most recent additions to that list are the Rajapaksas of Sri Lanka who have cemented their hold on power in recent years. In India, political dynasties extend to almost every party. Are they a boon to political parties in search of stability or a burden for democracy? Heirs to political dynasties are running two of the most difficult states in India. Elsewhere in the subcontinent, their sacrifices are the stuff of legend. Our panelists debate the issue.
