All'bout Signora Sonai Maino ? Ratan: I have received this unsolicited email from someone called S Vyas (Project Nachiketa ),thought I post it just for the heck of it,not sure about the accuracy of the contents as I can not vouch for it, besides I am not a Sonia-scholar.<g> PS:What is Nachiketa anyway? ============================= Dear friend and fellow Indophile, Namaskar ! I am sorry to inconvinience you with this uniinvited mail. But this is some information on prospective PM of India - Sonia Gandhi that every Indian and atleast every India lover must know. Please note Sonia Gandhi is ONLY a high school graduate. Cambridge University has confirmed that they have no Sonia Maino on their alumni list. She worked as an au-pair maid in UK while taking classes to learn English in some no name school (like Learn English in 4 months advertised in Bombay trains) . 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. In essence she is a White Rabri devi. But even Rabri devi is better as following article (from Indian web magazine Rediff on the Net) reveals Sonia's true love of India. The article by Kanchan Gupta informs that 1. During the 1971 war, while all Indians stood ready to fight for the Indian cause Sonai Maino and her husband Rajiv Gandhi went on vacation in Italy. 2. 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 and Indira Gandhi, Sanjay and his Indian wife Maneka had to convince her to return. 3. 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. Kanchan Gupta's article is found at following site rediff.com It is said that former prime minister HD Deve Gowda acted as if he was prime minister of Karnataka while another P.M. I.K. Gujral acted like a foreign minister. Now Congress is busy promoting a former au-pair maid and a house wife for Prime-ministership only on the basis of her last name. Since politicains of a particular type are busy trying to pull a fast one on Indian public, please DO forward this info to all your friends. Thank you. My sincere apologies again, if I have incovenienced you in any way with this uninvited mail. Regards, S Vyas for Project Nachiketa If you are interested you may find info also in articles on meltingpot.fortunecity.com Caution - You may find the language a little harsh in some articles on meltingpot.fortunecity.com .
