Dynastic Politics in India-The missing link

I was  wondering why in India dynastic politics has become a routine affair. Right from national parties like Congress(known one) to regional parties like DMK, Rashtriya Lok Dal, NCP all have seen father/son or father/daughter kind of things. If the leader has an extended family then numerous power centers and each one of them competing to show who is great in controlling power. Lets come to the reason, India being a traditionally a Hindu country(other religions are converts from Hindus only) where you have numerous Gods and Goddess. I equate them to father figures but definitely they don’t have any qualities to be compared with Gods. Consider Lord Shiva and we worship her consort Parvathi and their children Karthikeyan and Vinayak. So we can see this as a first family of Siva and we the people or politicians have emulated this and say for example first family of DMK has Karuna holding the power and his extended clan from his sons like Stalin to grand nephews Marans hold numerous power centers.
