Although India is a parliamentary democracy,the country's politics has become dynastic or 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 Nehru–Gandhi family has produced three Indian prime ministers,and family members have largely led the Congress party since 1978.
