Dynasty and India

A lot of people have pointed out the absence of young leaders
for BJP's defeat. Congress seems to have plenty of them right
now. Rahul, Priyanka, Sachin Pilot and his wife, Jyotiraditya Sindhia,
Son of Sheela Dikshit, Milind Deora(S/o Murali Deora), Naveen Jindal,
Jyoti Mirdha(D/o Nathuram Mirdha)

BJP has very few.
Manvendra Singh(Son of Jaswant Singh), Dushyant(Vasundhara Raje's son),
Yediyurappa's son etc..

Numbers may be different for both the parties but one common thing among
them is, they are all sons/daughters of existing politicians. For all the brickbats
thrown at Dynastic politics, it seems to be the only channel for producing(reproducing?)
the youthful faces in Indian politics. Is India too young,immature to comprehend
meritocracy? Is that why there are so few young faces in the so called meritocratic
organization named BJP?
