On high alert->'Shoot on sight', if anyone tries to disrupt the polling process. As India enters the final phase of its general election, authorities have given police orders to shoot on sight anyone who tries to disrupt the polling process. About 133 million Indians, mostly living in the north and east of the country, are eligible to vote on Sunday and officials are keen to discourage the violence and corruption that has marred previous polls. Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee and opposition Congress Party leader Sonia Gandhi are amongst 1,080 candidates competing for the final 118 parliamentary seats up for grabs................ ...The whole process takes in more than 800,000 polling stations and is estimated to cost the government around $1bn........ news.bbc.co.uk

Mohan: Maneka is a very independent woman, who didn't give a hoot what was expected of her in Indira household and didn't pay obeisance to her Mother-in-Law,- as against the established norms in a typical Indian family, while Sonia, coming from a catholic background took care of the mother-in-law and made pasta for her. I understand that Sanjay and Rajiv were not close to each other. Maneka was not treated well and quit the Indira household, expecting eviction. I personally admire her spunk,chutzpah, and pizzazz. She is probably diametrically opposite to Sonia.
