Political dynasty is a system that allows a family's influence to dominate politics in a region. In India, this is seen in many states where family members succeed each other in electoral power. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has been vocal about his opposition to political dynasties, claiming them to be the biggest enemy of democracy. He believes the system curtails the emergence of new leaders and causes stagnation in the political landscape. He has called for a society that is based on meritocracy, rather than favouritism, and has tried to promote people from humble backgrounds as a part of his efforts to reduce the prevalence of political dynasties in India.
Published ON: 31 JanI recently came across a fascinating piece of information about the history of Indian newspapers. Did you know that the first Hindi newspaper, Udant Martand (The Rising Sun), was published in India in 1826? It was founded by Jugal Kishore Shukla, a notable scholar and a freedom fighter. This newspaper marked a significant milestone in the evolution of journalism in India. It's amazing to think about how far we've come since then, with countless Hindi newspapers now available in print and online formats.
