The origin of the word Nepotism comes from Catholic bishops who would pass on wealth, property, and priesthood to their “nephews”. The nephews were usually their illegitimate offspring, and it served as a way for church clergy to both own property and to retain power in their families.
Politics, businesses, mainstream cinema and other occupations where talent is subordinate to lineage are dominated by family cartels, who plant their own over the rest. Everywhere in the world there is a 100 percent reservation for its own genetic material.
Recently there was this huge debate in India that there is nepotism in the main steam Indian cinema. There was extensive media coverage, outrage on social media and what not, people couldn’t take it and outpoured their opinions and emotions. People were so emotionally disturbed that many were not getting the opportunities when compared with the kith and kin of the biggies in the Bollywood industry
Take it Politics, Business families or anything, nepotism like royalty, is sexually transmitted.
But the point to be understood is that there is nepotism in every walk of life. For example, the head of the family first takes care of his wife, children, parents, siblings, relatives and then if he has still something left in him then he takes care of people outside his family. Be it financially or anything he first looks after his family and then only he comes outside.
People have stopped thinking rationally and they target people who don’t have any power and make themselves happy. People should question themselves before jumping on to someone and passing unacceptable statements.
My take on Nepotism:
Nepotism starts basically from our home. We simply don’t abandon our kids and go to an orphanage and adopt a kid. We first fulfill our kid’s requirements from education-entertainment-marriage-whatnot and then if there is something else left then we think of somebody else.
Therefore if we are showing favoritism to our family then there is no harm in businesses, politics, main stream cinema showing favoritism to their kith and kin.
Rational Thinking:
Opportunities don’t simply come to us, we should create opportunities. It is upon the individual on how he/she grows their network and relationships with people and then connects them with their personal growth.
Sports: M.S.Dhoni, Virat Kohli, Christiano Ronaldo, Rafael Nadal, P.V. Sindhu etc.,
Cinema: Ram Gopal Varma, Vijay Deverakonda, Samantha, Nani, Shahrukh Khan etc.,
Politics: K.Chandrashekar Rao, ChandraBabu Naidu, Y.S.RajaSekhar Reddy, Narendra Modi, etc.,
Businesses: SunPharma, Divis Laboratories, Flipkart, Paytm, Ola, Oyo etc.,
All the above people, businesses thrived in their respective fields when the so called other people were bragging about nepotism because of lack of opportunities and other stuff.
Therefore it is upon the individual on how, he/she makes the best use of their circumstances and takes the decisions at the right time.
If a person succeeds he/she will be happy and if he/she fails they will learn a lesson and move on!
Therefore it is very important to take a stand and lead your life on your own terms and do not blame anyone!
