Most political parties in India lean on one or two notable figures who have heralded these parties for long. And more often and not - the notable figures find it difficult to let go the reins of the political outfits they have so painstakingly built. In the most populated state in India, where elections are soon due, we are witnessing a power tussle between the old and the young. There is a belief that the patriarch perhaps has outlived his utility.
Patriarch is our first word of 2017. Patriarch is the male head of a family or a tribe or a person considered the head or founder of an order or class or, as in this case, a political outfit.
