Nepotism में nephew यानी भतीजा सुनिए — भाई-भतीजावाद। आजकल 'nepo kid' भी कहा जाता है, जिसे परिवार की वजह से मौक़ा मिले।

Hear NEPHEW in NEPOTISM: favouring your own nephews and relatives with jobs is nepotism. Today people even say 'nepo kid' for a child who gets a chance only through family.

Exam note

Nepotism = रिश्तेदारों को favour, favouritism = किसी को भी; meritocracy उलटा तंत्र। 'Nepo kid' एक neologism (नया शब्द) है।

Nepotism is favour to relatives, while favouritism is favour to anyone; meritocracy, where ability decides, is the opposite system. 'Nepo kid' is a neologism (newly made word).
