Perhaps you are right, and it is not as strange in India. Traditional restrictions make it odd in the Islamic countries (by the way, Sri Lanka is Buddhist). Not only were there the Pitts, there were, in this country, the Adamses, long before the Bushes. However, in all cases, the sense was more of one going into the family business that strict dynasticism. It is the contrast of women with no prior political career, in sexist societies, that raises the question of the power of dynastic considerations.
