Quote:Sonia is not Indian but Italian, I doubt she needs you to play sheepdog for her rights, since she has proven herself capable of sucking up all privileges for herself. What "struggles" did she undergo? She slept her way into power in India: she married Rajiv and solely on the 'merit' of marrying into the "Gandhis", she's now able to play Santa Helena Part II.
Husky, Sonia actually refused to lead congress and become part of it after rajivs death, so the congress elected sitaram kesri who was running the show. congress guys went and fell on her feet to lead them after Sitaram Kesri's absymal performance and said only a Gandhi can resurrect Indian congress.
And on why Indian politicians elect their wifes, sister, mother, grandmother etc to ministerial berths when in power, and why the followers accept them, in fact some infact demand exactly that, read "The Indians" by sudhir kakkar.
