In the recently conducted elections for the Ladakh Autonomous Hill Development Council (LAHDC) Kargil, the political scenario in Jammu and Kashmir saw significant activity after a five-year hiatus. Rahul Gandhi, Omar Abdullah, and the BJP engaged in campaigning, with attention drawn to Omar Abdullah's sons making their political debut. While some view this as routine family involvement, others perceive it as a precursor to dynastic succession, a trend criticized for undermining democracy. The historical context of dynastic politics in Kashmir is explored, including instances involving Mehbooba Mufti's daughter, Iltija, and Ghulam Nabi Azad's son, Saddam. Despite critiques, dynastic politics remains deeply ingrained in the region's political landscape.
