India is a parliamentary democracy but the country's politics have become increasingly dynastic, possibly due to the absence of party organizations, independent civil society associations that mobilize support for the party, and centralized financing of elections. The dynastic phenomenon is present at national, state, regional and district levels. The Nehru–Gandhi family produced three Indian prime ministers. Family members have also led the Congress party for most of the period since 1978 when Indira Gandhi floated the Congress(I) faction of the party. The ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) also has several senior leaders who are dynasts, besides this Shiromani Akali Dal, Shiv Sena, Samajwadi Party, Rashtriya Janata Dal, Janata Dal Secular, Jharkhand Mukti Morcha, Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam, Jammu & Kashmir National Conference, AIMIM, etc are also in the queue.
