Political Families Of India
Although India is a parliamentary democracy, the country's politics has become dynastic 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. In addition to the major national parties, other national and regional parties are all dominated by families, mostly those of the party founders. The parties include 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 National Nehru–Gandhi family The Nehr ...

Nehru–Gandhi Family
The Nehru–Gandhi family is an Indian political family that has occupied a prominent place in the politics of India.

Three members of the family—Jawaharlal Nehru, Indira Gandhi and Rajiv Gandhi—have served as the prime minister of India, while several others have been members of parliament (MP).
