Sonia Gandhi is ethnically non-Indian as she is not a natural Born citizen of India but a naturalised citizen of Bharat·

Sonia Gandhi has not studied beyond High School. Ms Sonia Mainomarried Rajeev Gandhi on February 25, 1968.· It is also a fact that at the time of 1971 war she went to Italy along with her husband Rajeev Gandhi was Pilot of Indian Airlines at that time.

Sonia violated the provision of FERA for over a year (from January 1,1974 to January 21, 1975) when she was allotted shares in Maruti Technical Services PVT. LTD and was made its Managing Director.

r loss of congress in 1977 – Sonia along with her husband took asylum in the Italian Embassy.

Under Section 5(C) of India’s Citizenship Act, she became eligible to register herself as a citizen of India on February 25, 1973.


But, she chose to continue as an Italian citizen. Mrs Sonia Gandhi applied forIndian citizenship on April 7, 1983.

The application was found to be grossly incomplete – in that it did not have any statement by her affirming that she had renounced her Italian citizenship. Nor was there any official document to this effect.

On April 27, 1983, the Ambassador for Italy obliged and sent a letter, saying, on her behalf, that she had renounced her Italian citizenship. Such a letter is not enough under India’s laws.

But since Mrs Indira Gandhi, Mrs Sonia Gandhi’s mother in law, was the Prime Minister, no further inquiries were made and Mrs Sonia Gandhi was granted citizenship on April 30, 1983.·

Even though she was not a citizen of India, Mrs Sonia Gandhi’s name was smuggled on to the electoral rolls effective January 1, 1980. In 1982, an objection was raised about her being smuggled on to the electoral rolls without being a citizen of India.

The objection was found valid and her name was struck off the electoral rolls in the later part of 1982. But, once again, affairs were so managed that, even though Mrs Sonia Gandhi had not become a citizen of India till then, her name was once again smuggled back on to the electoral rolls effective January 1, 1983.

As stated earlier, Mrs Sonia Gandhi had not even applied for citizenship till April 7, 1983, and she was granted citizenship only on April 30, 1983.

It is also a fact that after few days of Rajeev’s death Sonia captured the office of AICCunlawfully for Rajeev Gandhi Foundation.

It is also a fact that without holding any eligibility she became Chairman of Jawaharlal Nehru Museum and Library an institute of research in Contemporary Indian History.

Sonia Gandhi is alleged for using the Christian world to help implement evangelisation-2000 programmes in India.

It was after Mrs. Gandhi’s entry into active politics that the country witnessed Hindu-Christian clashes. (Nagpur, June 12, 99)

It is also a fact that during her tenure as President of Congress party, two states in India were provided with Christian Chief Minister.

It is also a fact that mother-in-law of Priyanka is a Christian of Italy.· It is also a fact that her father Stephano Maino was serving to the dictator of Italy Mussolini. FACTS OF SONIA GANDHI BY Sumira Srivastava

Harry Potter has changed the world we read and watch in. With Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows Part I hitting the marquee, many Harry addicts have wiped the dust off their sets of Rowling creations. Such readers are busy refreshing their memories of a magical world that the author has built. So, if you come across someone who is wrapped in the pages of one Harry book – rendered immobile by Immobulus – don’t be surprised at all. The bespectacled boy with the famous scar can transform his muggle fans into statues whenever he likes.Do I sound like a praise-spewing, hopelessly uncritical reader who is trying to bait Potter haters into giving his books a compassionate glance for once? No, the reason being, Harry doesn’t need it. We might produce a lot more literature that provides with material for cinema, and whose otherness guarantees immunity against erosion by new, and newer, cinematic experiences. We can turn into excavators and dig up literary gems whose content, if resurrected, has the power to cast a spell or two. But Harry will always be Harry, a phenomenon that cannot be excluded from any analysis of literature that has been used to make films.Harry did this. Harry did that. Harry and Hermione met so and so guy at such and such place in page number xyz of the third volume. The obsession with the boy – and his buddies, Lord Voldemort, so many others – has been seldom matched, if ever. Those who don’t pick up a single book otherwise have been known to sleep outside bookshops the day before a new Potter book got released. Why? To lay their hands on the new volume, naturally. With extraordinary marketing support, the books have reached almost each and every home which has someone who can read English reasonably well: and who has some money to spare, for the paperback if not the hardbound volume.What this does ‘not’ mean, however, is that Harry is a baby of smart sales strategies and zero creativity. You need something to be able to sell it. And Rowling has given that, and so much more. At a time when many renowned kids’ books were going of fashion – Enid Blyton and Hardy Boys stayed somewhere, but not everywhere – Rowling created a beautiful world that was easy to fall in love with

It is one thing to win power, another to wield it. Two dispirited leaders met in Delhi this week. President Obama was chastened by dramatic electoral losses in the US Congress and Prime Minister Manmohan Singh disheartened by never ending corruption scandals. Both seemed to have forgotten the fundamentals of what created their respective democracies. Just as one cannot understand America without the concept of liberty, so is India inexplicable without the idea of dharma. At the end, their spirits did lift but both leaders have much work to do to restore confidence in their ideals.


John Boehner, who will be speaker of the House of Representatives and is an architect of the Republican recapturing of power, explained Mr Obama's fall from grace. He said that President Obama had "ignored the values that have made America—economic freedom, individual liberty and personal responsibility". It does not matter if Mr Boehner is right; half of America believes it. Every nation is an imagined community and what voters `imagine' is what counts. America's image of itself is a land of opportunity and entrepreneurship — it is not a European style welfare state with a culture of entitlement. Mr Obama forgot liberty in his pursuit of equality, say his critics.


Just as America's founding fathers were obsessed with liberty, so were India's founders deeply attached to dharma - so much so that they placed the dharma-chakra in the middle of the Indian flag. The Congress party still does not realize how much it is diminished by the relentless series of corruption scandals. People insistently ask, `where is dharma in our public life?' This is a sad because we placed so much hope in a prime minister, who is personally honest and who promised good governance as his primary goal in his first three major speeches when the UPA came to power in the middle of 2004.


The ideal that exists in the Indian imagination is of a ruler guided by dharma. In this context, dharma does not mean religion, as was first used in 19th century Bengal by Christian missionaries claiming that "Jesus' path was the true dharma". Hindus countered their challenge, claiming that theirs is sanatana or eternal dharma. The meaning of public dharma, which inspired the makers of our constitution is `doing the right thing'.


Although India and America's economic circumstances are different, the answers to their problems are surprisingly similar. America is a rich country, which is stuck in a jobless recovery - wages have been lagging for decades. Its best and brightest prefer to work in services and its industrial base is fast eroding. India is poor but rising rapidly. Like America, its high growth rate is driven by services, not by industry. In our euphoria over India's growth we forget that we still have to create an industrial revolution. Only through low tech, labour intensive industry will we be able to create jobs for the rural masses.


Both India and America have to get their best and brightest to go into industry rather than glamorous jobs in finance.


Instead of creating bogus jobs through employment guarantee schemes, India needs to create genuine jobs through private enterprise. To do this we need to reform our labour laws; pass the land acquisition law; remove `inspector raj', which encourages bribery but discourages entrepreneurs; and push massive skills training through public private partnerships. Our current high growth will only take us to middle-income status - $5000-$7000 per capita. After that India will get stuck like many Latin American states, unless we improve governance and create an industrial revolution. "Let us not take high growth for granted", says the respected economist, Ajay Shah.


India should also emulate Mr Obama's obsession to improve the `quality' of primary education in order to build our industrial base. He is the first Democratic president to say that bad teachers should be fired if they can't train kids to succeed. India's problem with government schools is much worse than America's. One in four government primary school teachers here is absent and one in four is not teaching. Yet, our new Right to Education Act is silent on outcomes. Mr Obama's courage to take on teachers' unions in America should inspire our leaders to also speak out about the "dharma of a teacher".


Mr Obama's visit ended on a high note and two politicians have since been sacked. The real work must now begin. To restore dharma in public life, Dr Singh must drop corrupt members in the UPA cabinet; push civil service reforms to make officials (including school teachers) accountable; enact labour reforms and the land acquisition bill; stop the dangerous Food Security Bill, which holds the potential for becoming the biggest corruption scandal in India's history. Only then will he begin to restore dharma and make India deserving of `great power' status..

The picturesque scenes in a world full of endearing unknowns played the temptress. All kinds of characters lived between the pages, enhancing the charm manifold. The stories had surprises and twists, justifying the expenditure of time while reading. Most importantly, however, many fell for Harry because their neighbours and friends already had. ‘You don’t know Harry Potter stories? Shucks, man. You don’t deserve to live.’ Some Harry lover making a mockery of a person’s socially unacceptable ignorance pushed the latter into picking up a book. Once that happened, getting ensnared by the little boy’s spells was inevitable.
When Rowling started writing her first story, it was meant to be a book. That is all. But not much after the first volume became a bestseller, the series seemed destined to usher in a sociological revolution in which different parts of planet earth got united by their love for Harry Potter. What Rowling did once, she will do again: the marketers made that suggestion subtly but consistently, and their drumbeats reached out to everyone who mattered. The little boy became a giant, and millions looked up to him to hear what he said, see how he moved, what he wished to do next.

As time flew, Harry did what he was supposed to do. He performed miracles inside bookstores. After the books sold, movies got made. When the movies worked which was inevitable, the books sold a lot more. The Harry Potter series turned into the perfect instance of something good made better because of great sales in modern times. In achieving what it did, it was the first. And, a first can happen only once. Any Questionus?
