Mohan’s musing : “ Maa Bete ki Sarkar” … an overdone Made in India Omelet ??

Sharing & shedding some light….on the vain bloodshed about blood relations
United States -  the longest success story and most matured democracy …. (??).

Their Presidents…..All in the family……
Father and Son - Bushes recently & Adams earlier on
Grandfather and Grandson – Harrisons
Close Cousins – Madison and Taylor
And then the grand family of Roosevelts – 11 of them !! :  5 by blood & 6 by marriage !!
And now …look how they are going gaga over a Spouse offer  – The Clintons

Its different story that they proudly claim their party as ‘ Mockingly Democratic & Privately held Republicans

Well, the oldest democracy  & the “ Thick blood of family” as presidents in their long history – both in splits and sequence .

And here , at our backyards , we make a big song and dance about – the dominance by a few families . We seem to be more at home with leaders like – Modi – Maya – Jaya - Didi……..

The good news is that the US unlike us,  do not seem to have /be making this a key election and/or political issue

Something to learn and move on …

PS : Waiting for Miraya and Raihan Vadras to come of age and stake their claims for the august ‘ Chair”
