The Makkal Mahatmyam or Family Tree is an obvious feature in many fields of performance and Glory in Indi Starting with the entertainment field Cinema(Movies/Films),the prominent name that comes to my memory is Prithvi Raj Kapoor & the Kapoor family.Prithvi Raj Kapoor was born on 3rdNovember 1906 and in a span of life ended on 29 th May 1972, he had contributed a lot to Indian Cinema.Even if we call him father of Indian Hindi Movies it is a justifiable title for the following reasons: He started carrier with the creation of a travelling Drama Troop called Prithvi Theatre In 1944 and continued with it for a long time until he found that it was next to impossible to maintain a troop of 80 people traveling all Over India.He was compelled to cease the theatre and switch on to movies in 1950 when he got few offers to act In films.His movie acting carrier started with AWARA in 1951 with his son RajKapoor.He played the role of a strict Judge in it.later on in 1960 in Mughal Eh Azam as king Akbar, and thereafter in Sikandere Azam,Kal aaj aur Kal In 1971. By this time he had acted in movies with his sons& grandson. His sons are RajKapoor,Shammi Kappor ,Sashi Kapoor.Grandsons are Randhir Kapoor& Rishi Kapoor.. Shri Prithviraj spoor had recd all the wards imparted by the film Industry. Including the dadabhai Phalke Award. But this most famous award by the Film Industry was given to him Posthumously.the ward for the year 1971 was Given in his honor after his death in 1972.At that time he was the third celebrity to receive the award. Starting from 1931 with Alam Ara to 1940 he had acted in 14 movies& from 1941 to 1971 another 19 films ending with Kal Aaj,aur Kal.thus a total of 33 films were to his credit besides silent movies prior to 1931, His best film & role i to be the King Akbar in the film Mughal e Azam. He was awarded Padmavibhooshan by the Government of India The postal department had issued one stamp of with the picture of the Prithvi theatre& later on another stamp with his face on it His son Raj kapoor was the Showman of the Hidi cinema who had protected Makkal Mahatmyam( Family Tree) in every respect like his father ,if not better.He acted with almost all heroine of Hindi Screen starting from Madhubala in Neel Kamal to Hema malini in Sapnon Kal. His brothers were also famous actors Shammi Kapoor, Sasi Kapoor.His sons Randhir Kapoor& Rishi Kapoor also famous Actors .He and the family memmberscwere all Actors,Producers&Directors securing a place in Hindi Film Industry which could last as a permanent honour for the Kapoor family.his top class films were Aag,Andaz,Aawara,Barsat,shri420,Chori Chori,Anari,Teesri Kasam,Chhalia,Jis deshme Ganga Bahtei hein,Sangam,Around the World,Sapnom ka sausagar,Mera ma'am Joker and many many more. His sons Rrandhir Kapoor & Rishi Kapoor were introduced in films Kal Aaj Aur Kal & Bobby respectively.They were produced and Directed by him He got all wards from The Film Industry including Dadabhai Phalke award the highest award.INCIDENTLY AFTER RECEIVING THIS PRESTEGIOUS AWRAD HE HAD AGGEVATED HIS AILMENT AASTHMA AND WAS ADMITTED TO AIIMS,DELHI.Like his father he also died in 1988 at the age of 64 years.his brother Sasi Kapoor also received Phalke Award recently. He was honored with Padmavibhooshan by the Government in 1971. Thus the Kapoor family also safeguarded Makkal Mahatmyam successfully. Now, let us look into another field ofventertainment viz Hindi Film & devotional Music For this let us take into consideration the Mangeshkar Family Lata Mangeshkar,the Nightingale of India,her sisters Asha Bhosle& Usha mangeskar & brother Hridayanath Mangeshkarare the pride of Mangeskar family who have successfully secured Makkal Mahatmyam or Family Tree. In this family Lata Mangeshkar ,her sister Asha Bhosle,& Usha Mangeshkar are more prominent in the field of music. The eldest of the family Lata Mangeshkar ,popularly known as the Nightingale of India is now 85 years old.Lataji still continue to sing to entertain the people of India.

Ashaji had recorded more than 11,000 solos and sung for 20 languages in India for film and devotional songs. Usha Mangeshkar has also followed the footsteps of her elder sisters in to to. Thus, the Makkal Mahatmyam ( Family Tree) prevailed successfully without any criticism in India. The next in the list of Hindi singers and Movie artists in the field of Entertainment are Mukden,Nitin Mukesh,Ashoka Kumar ,Kishore Kumar,Anoop Kumar in Hindi film

The next best examples of most successful people who maintained the Makkal Mahatmyam are none other than Ashok Kumar,Kishore Kumar,& Anoop Kumar who need no introduction at all. Out of the 3 brothers Kishore kumarvwas also popular in Music besides movie acting. Then comes the list of Amitabh Baccchhan family,Shivaji Ganeshan & Prabhu family,Mamootty and Salmanazars family and many more people who have created unforgetable images in the minds of Indians Similarly in the field of Sports and games are the famous people Lala Amarnath,MohindervAmarnath Amarnath,Nawab ofvPataudi & his family, Sachin Tendulkar& Arjun Tendulkar. All the people mentioned above have been adored by Indians and have established a permanent spot in the minds of Indians But above all ,are the names of Javaharlal Nehru,Indira Gandhi,and Rajiv Gandhi who were the Prime ministers of INDIA( BHARAT). The basic reason for our country India to have a strong place in the world & it's map are the above Prime Ministers.the moulded the present India with all kinds of developments in every fields of prosperity and would be remembered for ever in their names. There can not be any doubt in the minds of any Indian in this regard. The economy Status India has today mainly belongs toIndira Gandhi who introduced Nationalisation of banks India ignoring the difference of opinions from some corners. In view Of what have been brought out abovethe reasons for adverse comments arising from many corners today Criticizing the former Prime Ministers is at loss to understand. So,the reasons for this is very much obvious. IT IS THE GREED , ENVY ,INTRIGUE and PERHAPS, THE THIRST FOR POWER& CHAIR ARE THE THE FACTORS CONTRIBUTING TO SUCH REMARKS PREVAILING ALL OVER INDIA TO DAY. Otherwise ,why all are ready to accept the Makkal Mahatmyam in every field mentioned above the same yard stick is notnapplied to the intelligent and intellectual family of the Nehrus? Unless the wrong mentality of not appreciating the good deeds done by the former prime Ministers Our country is not going to have any prominent place in the eyes of the world.
