For some reason I am unable to post comment on my own blog! The instances you have given are valid for some. I differ on the definition of dynasty. Bush Jr did not become the President of America because the American public or the sycophants wanted to put him there, he followed his father's career option because of the experience curve and contacts available to him, very similar to a lawyer's son becoming a lawyer and doctor's son becoming a doctor. Chandra Babu was already into politics and was a minister also in Anjiah's cabinet before NTR came on the scene. Therefore that is not dynastic. But his wanting to bring his son like Karunanidhi is doing for Stalin is definitely dynastic. Dynasty comes into effect when sycophants in the party and the family organize public opinion in support of lineage.
BTW, being conscious of gender bias does not make me a feminist 'freak'. One of the lessons for you towards being gender sensitive!
