There is an adage in south India which when translated into English would read like this ; “The moment you see a kid, you can make out the plight of the village from where he hails”. This means that the kid can never hide the intensity of the poverty and sufferings he undergoes in the village,
This is true in the case of many of our politicians who are out in the street seeking votes from the electorate. The truth that they are misfit as leaders is written clearly on their body language. We can also make out true leaders from their attitude and behavior towards the society. However hard they try to project an artificial behavior, their failure as a potential leader would be as clear as daylight.
The offsprings of leaders of dynasty politics is a clear proof of the adage mentioned above. The chief minister of Tamil Nadu MK Stalin, who is the president of the DMK, is a case study. Stalin is incapable of addressing a gathering of even 100 persons without the help of a written speech. He has a battery of beauticians in attendance wherever he goes to address public meetings. One can never see Stalin sans make-up and neatly starched and ironed dhoti and shirt. Stalin, who prefers to be addressed as Thalapathi (Tamil for Commander) has no leadership qualities and he became the DMK chief only because he happened to be the son of M Karunanidhi, the former party president and chief minister.
