Nepotism stands out in every field. Nepotism is based on favoritism granted to relatives in various fields, including business, politics, entertainment, sports, religion and other activities. And every time it gets away because everyone else vilipends patronage. No one seems to be kvetching about nepotism in a small screen. Rather this fact makes the ones, benefiting from patronage, unflinching.
But when someone measly does take the step against this nepotistic behavior not many come up to support them as the pusillanimous ones are often scared to stand against the one holding power. Because in the end, for our country, its power that matters and the ones being favoured will always be favoured.
Though it is also very flattering how people make their voice louder only when someone from the big screen takes a venturesome approach on such issues. No wonder how poignant nepotism can be for the unprivileged ones.
