ABSTRACT: This study investigates the influence of family upbringing on the intergenerational transmission of political ideologies in India. Analyzing various factors such as socio-economic background, parenting styles, and societal norms, the research explores 3 distinct mechanisms through which ideologies are inherited within Indian families. The findings highlight the significance of familial influence in shaping political orientation, offering insights into the role of family as a primary agent in political socialization. This study aims to prove that a majority of children inherit their political views from their upbringing regardless of their exclusive interests suggesting broader implications for understanding political socialization within multicultural societies.
