It started as a representative body of an all nation collective conscience filled people. The senior most member was it's president for the first time.
For the next 60 odd years, it would shape up the fetus of an Independent India so that it emerged strong enough to stand without any support.
As far as I recollect, during all those years, every year the party president changed. Raja Ram Mohan roy, Sarojini Naidu, Bal Gangadhar Tilak, Motilal Nehru, Jawahar Lal Nehru, Annie Besant and so many others presided separately over annual congress meetings.
After India became independent, why was this trend changed ? Why has only the Gandhi family headed the party since then ? Why is this family being treated like a dynastic family, destined to rule people ? Why are the members of the party keeping their hands open, apparently begging for their roles from the Gandhi family ?
Is it really a democratic party now?
