You see nepotism in Bollywood is out there on display for everyone to see. But the real nepotism that has caused so much stagnation, corruption and oppression in our country is far less obvious but just as pervasive.
We are currently living in a country where much is made of the fact that our Prime Minister once worked as a tea seller. For better or worse, he is a self-made man. Without a family per se, he’s now managed to assemble, for him, the best team possible. Without a place for nepotism, actual accomplishment and loyalty to his beliefs are prevailing. Whether or not one is aligned with what the PM and his team stand for, it can’t be refuted that his legacy is more along the lines of Ms. Ranaut rather than, say, Rahul Gandhi.
In India politics is not a vocation, but a family business. If daddy is an MP, then his darling son or daughter regard the constituency as their heirloom.
Nepotism is, to a large extent, inevitable in a society where your family name is all-important as an entry into society, to jobs, to favours, to contracts and everything else. In that sense, India is still feudal. Both the corporate world and Bollywood are full of children who are given opportunities because of their parents. This is a country where you rarely hear the word ”self-made” prefixing any famous name.
Nor do the ”nepotees” feel the slightest embarrassment. Where is their discomfiture at hanging on to daddy’s coat tails? Where is the self-respect that comes from proving yourself the hard way in your own field?
‘Cold and ruthless’, ‘cruel’, ‘an outsider will always feel like an outsider’, ‘shallow industry’ and ‘a hypocritical society.’
No, these aren’t the words we are using for Bollywood, these are the words used by the very members of the film fraternity in the past few days. Nepotism is a curse for our nation,because we have so many people extremely talented,well educated and with skills but they don’t get the chance to enter their particular fields. The only reason being is,some of the biased people are there sitting on the higher authority and they choose one of their relatives for any vacancy. Be it in POLITICS or BOLLYWOOD or anything else like this,this game of nepotism is seen almost everywhere.
Those who oppose against nepotism will be first to support it if given opportunity. Caste system is nepotism where a particular community reserves right for particular profession. Pujari son will be pujari, rajpoot son will be rajpoot, king son will be king and a dhobi son have to be a dhobi. So those who promote caste system have no right to speak against nepotism.
so nepotism is everywhere not in bollywood but in politics in family etc.
