prospective PM of India - Sonia Gandhi

[Arvind]

This is some information on prospective PM of India - Sonia Gandhi that every Indian and at least every India lover must know.



1.. Sonia Gandhi is ONLY a high school graduate. It is not even sure if she is Matric pass or fail. Cambridge University has confirmed that they have no Sonia Maino on their alumni list.



2.. Her sister, Nadia Mario, who had never visited India before rushed to New Delhi, after Vajpayee govt.fell, to be by her side amidst reports that she might soon become India's Prime Minister.



3.. Should Sonia Gandhi become Prime Minister, her relatives in Italy would be fully entitled to round-the-clock protection by the

Black Cat commandos at the Indian taxpayer's expense.



4.. She worked as an house maid in UK while taking classes to learn English in some no name school. She was from a poor family in Italy but now has almost as much money as Bill Gates (guess whose money is it).



5.. During the 1971 war, while all Indians stood ready to fight for the Indian cause Sonia Maino and her husband Rajiv Gandhi went on

vacation in Italy.



6.. In 1977, when Indira Gandhi and Congress lost elections, Sonia Gandhi with her children and husband in tow took refuge of Italian

embassy in New Delhi. Only after Indira Gandhi, Sanjay and his Indian wife Maneka convinced her that they came back.



7.. Sonia married Rajiv in 1968 and was eligible to become Indian citizen 5 years later yet she did NOT become Indian citizen till 1984

I.e. 16 years after her marriage) This late bloom of Sonia's love for India also was out of political consideration. In 1984, Rajiv, was heir apparent and most likely next Prime Minister. It would be awkward for a PM to have a foreigner wife. Voila, Sonia became an Indian Overnight.



8.. She has not given a single interview or offered any ideas on a single issue facing India now. Her only qualification is that she

married a Gandhi. No newspaper has taken up the issue; no political party is opposing this, people are falling in line as if this is

nothing unusual.



9.. Sonia became an Indian citizen in 1984 but did not surrender her Italian citizenship. She continues to be simultaneously a citizen of India and Italy as Italian law does not require her to surrender her Italian citizenship or passport. Simply put, Sonia is a dual citizen of India and Italy now dreaming of becoming the next Prime Minister of India (she can also legally become the prime minister of Italy!)...



Only thing we can do..is just drop couple of tears..we can do any thing...cos...every body is busy in their own manner and nobody cares for any thing...All this is just for vested political and personal interests.

Sonia Gandhi set for Indian prime minister

http://news.xinhuanet.com/english/2004- ... 468392.htm



Do you mind she is born in Italy? What's her attitude to China?

[ASLI_badmash]

Please people wake up... she is nothing but a vestige of the OLD Congress aristocracy. She should never become the PM. Laloo is doing it in Bihar... Sonia is doing it in delhi. She is holding the seat till her son Rahul becomes senior enough to take the power. Thats sick!



Kya India kissi ki baap ki jaagir hai... I dont approve of BJP but we seem to have a choice between an Indian party(BJP) and a party run by nin-com-poops.. Idiots and ass kissers(Congress). I would definetly go for BJP.

Sorry mate, the game is over....... at least till the next elections :)



I too do not like the dynastic rule, but isn't it more tolerable than thousands getting butchered because they were a minority?

I guess BJP dug its own grave... People are not going to be hoodwinked by the religion cardanymore. I am glad India voted for a secular nation. Also, It is said, " The faster you rise, the harder you fall". BJP hoodwinked the people with the religion card when people were being dragged into dirty politics. They gave them something new and I guess that something new has lost its charm.



Also, dont thousands die anyway in India. What about national pride. Do you think Sonia just by being the virtue of Rajiv's wife has the right to rule this nation? I dont think so !



~badmash~

[CtrlAltDel]

It will be a real shame on India if Sonia becomes PM...indian voters have also proved how idiotic they can be, just as idiotic voters chose Modi with a good majority in Gujarat or Laloo in Bihar.

the voters are not intelligent, but sentimental fools who do not deserve a democracy.

i am too stunned and ashamed to say anything more.

to let off steam, i'll sign of with some ^$$#$%$#%%$@%$#%$#%$#%$#%$%%$#@%$@#%$#%$#%$#%$#%$#$#$#^%$&^%*&*&^^#$%@!^^%$^%^%$$#@$@##@#%$#^%$^$^%$#^%$^%$^%$

Hell which Indian politician cant you say that about ?!

Her sister, Nadia Mario, who had never visited India before rushed to New Delhi, after Vajpayee govt.fell, to be by her side amidst reports that she might soon become India's Prime Minister.

A display of their most indian virtue... dont you think?!

3.. Should Sonia Gandhi become Prime Minister, her relatives in Italy would be fully entitled to round-the-clock protection by the
Black Cat commandos at the Indian taxpayer's expense.

Do you think we'll need visas to vacation in Italy from now on ... i mean its only fair she do at least that for us gullible indians after all that support we've shown her.

4.. She worked as an house maid in UK while taking classes to learn English in some no name school. She was from a poor family in Italy but now has almost as much money as Bill Gates (guess whose money is it).

All the more reason to treat your servants/slaves (esp. if they're of foriegn origin)with respect, they might just turn out to be the next indian prime minister.

5.. During the 1971 war, while all Indians stood ready to fight for the Indian cause Sonia Maino and her husband Rajiv Gandhi went on
vacation in Italy.

we're all for peace too ...arnt we .

7.. Sonia married Rajiv in 1968 and was eligible to become Indian citizen 5 years later yet she did NOT become Indian citizen till 1984

Zaroorat padhne par un gadhe ko baap banai.

8.. She has not given a single interview or offered any ideas on a single issue facing India now.

She would if she had any!

(she can also legally become the prime minister of Italy!)...

Super interesting prospect... one women, prime minister of two countries... hmm mebbe i'll bring out coke and popcorn ..or no wait pasta and ...oh hell i'm confused now!



Dont worry people ...with her qualification do you really think she'll last long enough?!

A vague quote comes to mind, it goes something like - "Just becoz the mijority has made the same choice, doesnt mean it is right"

The majority is necessarily not intelligent ..since common sense isnt really all that common. luckily in a democracy the minority get represented too.Thats what we have the opposition for .

[akhilis2cool]

during there govt. The BJP had 185 seats and the rest that of the allies.

In case of the congress they have only 145 seats and the rest will come from allies. Guess who will rule the country. Sonia Gandhi ke bure din to abhi shuru hue hain.

the allies will make her do Kathakali in the parliament.

[Ravi]

As long as dirty, spineless, idiotic people who doesn't have national pride and honor exists in India and in particular in Congress-I, India will be ruled by foreigners and foreign born people.



No wonder India has been ruled by Moghuls and Britishers for 300 or 400 years.



These Congress-I leaders won't hesitate to sell their mothers and mother land for their greed of power.

They just can't survive without Nehru family genes.



A national of one billion falls short of a leader for the top post in the country !!!

[Bimbette]

The irony of it all, in a country of 1 billion people, we have a lady of foreign origin leading us! And pray whats her claim to the post?



Was watching a piece on NDTV and couldn't help feel the anger rise.

What do ppl think about Rahul Gandhi or Priyanka Gandhi becoming PrimeMinister some day ?

That Leads to another thought.What do ppl think about Rahul Gandhi or Priyanka Gandhi becoming PrimeMinister some day ?-SN

that shudn't be a problem...if they gain experience as MPs first. Priyanka seems to be better suited. i think she's more dynamic n intelligent, while Rahul seems to be a wimp...a potential George W Bush in India!

[the rainmaker]

The unthinkable has happened. The Italian-born Sonia Gandhi will be the prime minister. Many who have nothing to do with politics feared this for long. They have nothing against Ms Gandhi. For them the issue is India's identity, its pride. Will she add to India's pride as its PM? Never, they feel, and rightly. This is their pain. E-mails from hundreds of Indians living tens of thousand miles away from their motherland, in the US, show how they are shocked and pained at a foreigner being the PM.



They feel it is an insult to the soul of India, and to their own souls. Millions and millions of Indians, otherwise apolitical, agonise as they have no one to articulate their inner feelings to. For them, it is no change of government. It is a psychological conversion of India into a colony. Their unaddressed question is:



Could we not find one man or one woman from over a billion Indians to lead India?



The entire political class is silent. Nor has the intellectual class any answer. The media thinks raising the issue is narrow-mindedness. One needs guts to say today that only an Indian can head India. This adds to their pain.



Undeniably, it is national humiliation that a foreign-born will be the prime minister. But Ms Gandhi is not to be faulted for this. What encouraged her even to aspire to be the prime minister of a country, the second-most populous with unprecedented complexities? Ms Gandhi, who came to India as a housewife, must have developed the ambition to rule India in a manner close to how the British, who came to India as traders, developed their ambitions to be the rulers.



The British saw the Indian kings and nawabs vying with one another to invite them to undo each other. This is precisely what happened within the Congress party after P V Narasimha Rao. The Congressmen, who would not allow one among them to emerge as the leader, would rather invite her to be the leader, and did. So to eliminate Rao, Sitaram Kesri designated himself a dog of her family. To finish off Kesri, Arjun Singhs fell at her feet. It is these impotent men who made Ms Gandhi, who must have been a shy and apprehensive bahu in a totally strange country, ambitious enough to rule India.



Today, the secular parties are turning captive to Ms Gandhi like the Congressmen to install a 'secular' Government. Now these gentlemen have begun to talk about Ms Gandhi, very much like the Congress itself has been. They all just need short-term political power. That it irretrievably damages the idea of India is no issue to them.

Dude,I think you are thinking too much into this.It IS humiliating for a foreigner to be our PM but I dont think all the above is true.Sure,it happened but maybe they happened by coincidence.

Enough of this wailing already. Some of the most prominent movments in the country were started by foreign - born persons:



Indian National Congress - Founded by Sir Allen Octavian Hume



Theosophical Society - Founded by Colonel HS Olcott & Madame Blavatsky (this institution was the breeding ground for some of the great thinkers / reformists such as J Krishnamurthy, Annie Besant, Rukmini Arundale etc.)



Missionaries of Charity - Founded by Mother Terasa.



You don't have to be born here to make a difference..........

but you do have to live here. That's the reason "E-mails from hundreds of Indians living tens of thousand miles away from their motherland" don't impress me much. You focus on making those dollars, folks! And let we resident Indians decide what/who is good for us.

Indian National Congress - Founded by Sir Allen Octavian Hume

Hey JLU, i wud like to remind you that Sir A. O. Hume only formed the INC as a vent for the angered indians to let out their anger. It was only a mild gesture and was actually helping the British. Unluckily for them the extremist phase came out of the younger members of the Congress but it wasnt how Sir A. O. Hume wanted it.



And when you talk abt Mother Teresa, it is a different issue there. We are talking abt the political scenario in the country. Mother Teresa has got nothing to do with the politics of her time or this time in India. I would definitely not like a foreigner ruling the country.

[CtrlAltDel]

Indian National Congress - Founded by Sir Allen Octavian Hume

...not for the sake of India's independence, but to create an 'Upper' class of westernised Indian leaders who wud help the Brits rule.
this is one reason why the Congress (I) can never be trusted: the genes are wrong. moreover i dont understand why all harp on how Congress(I) brought us freedom.
the present Congress is Congress(I), a splinter group started by Indira Gandhi who hijacked the name Indian National Congress by virtue of her being Nehru's baby.
i also dont know why people say Rajiv Gandhi sacrificed his life for the nation. he interfered in Sri Lanka and got killed for his efforts. nothing to do with India. He sacrificed the lifes of the Indian soldiers who died unnecessarily in Sri Lanka.

Theosophical Society - Founded by Colonel HS Olcott & Madame Blavatsky

...for promoting Indian culture...found by people who genuinely loved India and wanted to be here.

Missionaries of Charity - Founded by Mother Terasa.

...comparing Sonia with the Mother is blasphemy

You don't have to be born here to make a difference...

...yes, provided u prove your loyalty with your behaviour.
nothing Sonia did suggests that she genuinely loves India.
1) she remained an Italian citizen till Rajiv was on the verge of becoming the PM
2) during the '71 war she prefered to flee to Italy (with Rajiv n the kids)
3) when Indira was overthrown after emergency, she sought refuge in the Italian embassy (again, with Rejiv and the kids).
4) worst of all she used her influence to unduly favor Italian security agencies in place of our own RAW. this has been recounted by Indian intelligentce agents. read these articles:
http://www.gurumurthy.net/display.asp?id=164
and http://www.gurumurthy.net/display.asp?id=165

wearing a sari and speaking hindi wont make her a patriotic indian. she is still a European by thought.

but you do have to live here. That's the reason "E-mails from hundreds of Indians living tens of thousand miles away from their motherland" don't impress me much. You focus on making those dollars, folks! And let we resident Indians decide what/who is good for us.

that i agree.

even people who do not like to come out and vote have no right to crib about anything. they can just get on with their life.

[Skeptic]

Kya India kissi ki baap ki jaagir hai... I dont approve of BJP but we seem to have a choice between an Indian party(BJP) and a party run by nin-com-poops.. Idiots and ass kissers(Congress). I would definetly go for BJP.

Go for it bro.... but as per history they are not too hot on National Pride... they were no major heroes during Indp Movement... for BJP, protection of Hinduism is more important... and they woe (I'm not using "kiss ass" deliberately here) minorities only to get "to rule" (according to Pramod Mahajan its not form a govt. but to rule, on TV. So ur expression "baap ki jaagir" fits there)

What about national pride. Do you think Sonia just by being the virtue of Rajiv's wife has the right to rule this nation? I dont think so !

Please see the quotation at the end.... its by Winston Churchill.

It will be a real shame on India if Sonia becomes PM...indian voters have also proved how idiotic they can be, just as idiotic voters chose Modi with a good majority in Gujarat or Laloo in Bihar.

I don't understand.... how could you tolerate Vajpayee.... as far as I could see he was more of poet (sic) than anything else. He might have been a energitic activist of RSS in his prime.... his only claim to fame is that he could appease most of his coalition partners, giving as many ministries as were the partners.

These Congress-I leaders won't hesitate to sell their mothers and mother land for their greed of power.
They just can't survive without Nehru family genes.

Greed for power... which of our present politicians doesn't exhibit this virtue dear???
Nehru Family Genes.... what, just because BJP used some other poster boy??

A national of one billion falls short of a leader for the top post in the country !!!

According to one of your empathisers, we are all idiots....

The irony of it all, in a country of 1 billion people, we have a lady of foreign origin leading us! And pray whats her claim to the post?

Was watching a piece on NDTV and couldn't help feel the anger rise.

I wish you'd watch NDTV more often.... you'd have started getting angrier much earlier. Honest!!!

[Five7Jaan]

One question though: Doesn't India have a constitutional rule [like the US] that President etc. can only be someone who is a NATURAL BORN CITIZEN?

P.S. Bimbette, cool Avatar!

[JustaLittleUnwell]

Rock_26iin, maybe what you say about Sir Hume's motive is true. But he created a vibrant, unrestricting platform, which was used by enterprising Indians to jumpstart the freedom movement.



And regarding my reference to Mother Teresa, my point is as follows: you don't have to be a person of Indian origin and born in India, to do good to the people of this country. By this I'm not suggesting that Ms.Gandhi is the next Mother Terasa, but that her foreign origin does not necessarly prevent her from acting in the best interests of the Indian people.

Indian National Congress - Founded by Sir Allen Octavian Hume

...not for the sake of India's independence, but to create an 'Upper' class of westernised Indian leaders who wud help the Brits rule.

If that is true, then he would have created an army of 'yes men'. But that was not to be the case, due to which he ended up becoming the launch pad of the Indian freedom movement, irrespective of his intentions.

this is one reason why the Congress (I) can never be trusted: the genes are wrong. moreover i dont understand why all harp on how Congress(I) brought us freedom.
the present Congress is Congress(I), a splinter group started by Indira Gandhi who hijacked the name Indian National Congress by virtue of her being Nehru's baby.
i also dont know why people say Rajiv Gandhi sacrificed his life for the nation. he interfered in Sri Lanka and got killed for his efforts. nothing to do with India. He sacrificed the lifes of the Indian soldiers who died unnecessarily in Sri Lanka.

I'm aware that Congress and Congress (I) are not the same. I was referring to the movement started by Sir Hume which ended up fighting for the freedom. I have expressed no views about Rajiv's 'sacrifices'.

You don't have to be born here to make a difference...

...yes, provided u prove your loyalty with your behaviour.
nothing Sonia did suggests that she genuinely loves India.
1) she remained an Italian citizen till Rajiv was on the verge of becoming the PM

wearing a sari and speaking hindi wont make her a patriotic indian. she is still a European by thought.

We are confusing issues here. Is this about foreign origin or suitability of Ms.Sonia G for PM's post? I have been addressing the foreign origin issue only. Whether she is a suitable candidate for the post or not - the people have given their mandate. I may not agree with it, but that's a different issue.

Would like to add here - you mention about her running away to safer places like Italy, Italian embassy and so on. What about our own Indian-blooded politicians? Dont they surround themselves with 100s of black cat commandos, while the comman man is left to fend for himself?

but you do have to live here. That's the reason "E-mails from hundreds of Indians living tens of thousand miles away from their motherland" don't impress me much. You focus on making those dollars, folks! And let we resident Indians decide what/who is good for us.

that i agree.
even people who do not like to come out and vote have no right to crib about anything. they can just get on with their life.

Aren't we getting personal here? :) I did admit in another thread that I did not cast my vote and i guess you are referring to that. But I fail to understand how it is connected to my above mentioned statement on NRIs who are vocal about Indian politics. One would believe that when some one leaves his/her country in search of better prospects, he/she ceases to have a say in its political system.



However, some one who is very much a resident of the country, and hence is affected by the prevailing governance in so many ways, and also contributes to its economy on a daily basis, has every say in matters pertaining to the governance / politics. Not casting my vote doesn't deprive my citizenship, and I'm free to crib about factors that affect me as long as I live here :)

[LP]

Oh,come on guys,the people of India voted congress into power. That means that they elected Sonia Gandhi.We cant do anything about it,everything is over.Just accept the fact that *$@!^ Sonia will be our PM for the next 5 years(Which Sucks!!!),but we cant do anything.So...thats it.
