Yes it is true that he is an Indian citizen. He took the citizen in 1984 I think, not sure. BTW, he was born in Kolkata.

On a different note, I absolutely hate it when national dailies start mentioning President as 'Prez' or Congress as 'Cong'. Are they trying to be 'cool' or just that silly? :roll:

I often mistook "Prez" for Mr. Musharraf
(I still remember one heading which was something like "Prez to invite Sonia for forming government" .. I was shocked after reading that )

Sonia gandhi is a member of parliament for years.And where now this issue raised up?.It's another sangh parivar deceptive tactics to pollute Sonia gandhi's truthful image.We all know the charector of BJP leaders.And now it's quite sure that narrowminded BJP leaders can never make an image as Sonia gandhi.So it's a deliberate attempt to pollute and destroy the truthfull image of her.And it's just another example of deceptive tactics of dark forces.

That's the only thing you people can do.The people who dont have any truth in any sense,should defenitely look for deception and animal laws to survive.And that's exactly what you people doing.And what i am saying is it'll not be that easy as you people did in 5000 years ago.

I agree with Murasoli Maran on some points-
1. The upper castes and upper classes have always tried to oppress the lower castes and lower classes.
2. Those in power always want to remain in power.
3. When they grow old, they want their children to remain is power.
4. It's sad, but it's true.

Do you agree?

What you have itemized is not really any revelation. It is a fact of life and there is nothing sad about it. If I am rich and powerful, why should I not try to see that my children maintain the same status? Wouldnt you?

However, where I beg to differ from MM and the above items is that I DO NOT oppress anyone lower than me in society or in the caste heirarchy. Infact I know of several people like me (of upper caste that is) who donate to charities that help the poor and oppressed. Now would you give me an answer for the following?

1. I am the one who is discriminated against when seeking a college education because of my upper caste status.. where is the debate about oppression then?
2. I am the one who is discriminated against when seeking a government job because of my upper caste status.. where is the debate about oppression then?
3. If rewriting or correcting history is the order of the day then lets go in chronological order backwards. Lets begin by destroying the British, the Portugese, then the muslims and then the Brahmins.

Nothing wrong if children are capable and efficient to lead the country,and people wishes they be in power,to let them do the job.And we all seen what gandhi family done just now,Sonia gandhi rejected the Prime minister post for an indian born candidate.Who'll do that much sacrifice?.It's greatness that we can only dream from other polititions.And it shows that family's truthfullness and determination to the nation.

1. I am the one who is discriminated against when seeking a college education because of my upper caste status.. where is the debate about oppression then?



This is what you got from your past cruelness.The community which got a slight reservations,deserve more than that becoz they want to raise from being lived as animals to humens.They wanna overcome their broken mind

And you should concider about the amount of suppression they faced for centuries.It's a cry for many souls who just lived as dogs or cats,just for hardworking in lands for a one time meal.never got a chance even to think straight.It's a cry for a people who ran away from uppercasts becoz if uppercaste see them,they'll get brutal punishment.

Nothing can cost the inhumanity a community suffered from centuries.Anythng cannot replace that.And they are not spitting in uppercastes(uppercaste did to them)faces only becoz of their greatness.And i uppercasts should understand it.

So if invaders can not be 'Indian' even after 5000 years.
(I have my own doubts about Aryan invasion Theory...mind it It is still a theoryA note on various theories)
Then why Sonia is an 'Indian' she became citizen only in 1984?

How do you define an 'Indian'?

If a community can make riots by saying about "suppression",none other than adidravidians is deserved for it.And adidravidians is not making any riots in this country by saying the suppression they have originally faced for centuries.So i just cant tolerate the deceptive 'suppression' told by uppercastes to make riots and communally divide people to get one sided votes.And i should oppose it.And i am saying all indians that,If any humanity remaining in your souls,just understand this deception of this black forces.


So if invaders can not be 'Indian' even after 5000 years.

In history,there is no theory and practicals.only practicals.Aryan invasion is a truth.And now sangh parivar forces cant tolerate that and opposing them by counter arguments.that's you are reading.There is no "Theory" and practicals in history.

But adidravidians does'nt need Aryan invasion theory to say about suppression.It's a fact we see on our eyes(may deceptive forces argue on it also) to tell.

Then why Sonia is an 'Indian' she became citizen only in 1984?

I have already told that i dont have probloms with aryans.I have probloms with their current activities.We can live "peacefully" here.But only peacefully.as i told above i just cant tolerate the theories of "suppression" they are telling and making communal division on that only for power.This is the same greed as we seen in uppercaste suppression.

I cant tolerate the brutality and arrogance sangh parivar is showing against Sonia gandhi for their foreign origin.I think this deceptive arrogance as the same arrogance and deception uppercaste forces shown to adidravidians to suppress them.I am telling again,if anybody having a small amount of humanity reserving in you,should oppose this black deceptive forces.

Title: Our beloved Bahu-I
Author: Ram Jethmalani
Publication: The Statesman
Date: May 28, 1999
URL: http://www.thestatesman.org/editorial.html#editorial6

At the threshold, a constitutional question arises and this has to be
satisfactorily resolved. Every Prime Minister has to be a member of
Parliament and the 84th Article of the Constitution prescribes
citizenship of India as the necessary qualification. The 5th Article defined
who became Indian citizens on 26th November 1949:--

"5. Citizenship at the commencement of the Constitution. - At the
commencement of this Constitu-tion, every person who has his domicile in the
territory of India and -

(a) who was born in the territory of India; or

(b) either of whose parents was born in the territory of India; or

(c) who has been ordinarily resident in the territory of India for not less
than five years immediately preceding such commencement, shall be a citizen
of India".

The next five Articles qualify the leading Article in some way or the other.
The 11th Article then proceeds to declare that Parliament is free to make
provision with respect to acquisition and
termination of citizenship and all other matters relating to citizenship.
The 17th entry in the Union List of the 7th Schedule confirms the exclusive
power of Parliament to legislate on citizenship
naturalisation and aliens.

Mrs Sonia Gandhi is a naturalised alien. It is true that naturalised aliens
also become citizens of India by taking the prescribed oath of allegiance
but this became legally possible only in 1955 when
the Citizenship Act was enacted for the first time. Till then the only
citizenship known to Indian Law was the one arising under Article 5
reproduced above. The Hon'ble Home Minister of India,
Shri LK Advani is a citizen of India pure and pristine by virtue of Article
5 of the Constitution; Sonia Gandhi is not.

Paul McKenna--- Now would you give me an answer for the following?

Bhau--- I thought we were on the same frequency.. Got out of phase somewhere, I guess..
Never mind.



MM--- Nothing wrong if children are capable and efficient to lead the country[/b]

Bhau--- Always wanting to remain in power by whatever means necessary is different from being capaable to efficiently lead the country.

MM--- Sonia gandhi rejected the Prime minister post for an indian born candidate.

Bhau--- Use of the word 'rejected' is a good way to glorify her but she could have 'rejected' even before the elections started. That is, if she really wanted to. The foreign-born issue is atleast as old as the Sharad Pawar lead Nationalist Congress Party.

MM--- Who'll do that much sacrifice?

Bhau--- That's the point. Nobody does that much sacrifice. Unless they are forced to.

MM--- And it shows that family's truthfullness and determination to the nation

Bhau--- It shows that the family is aware of the differences between what's actually going on in people's mind, what's being projected by the media, and what's being told to them by the obsequious crowd surrounding them all the time.

It is used shamelessly by newspapers to boost their sales; If you look, for instance, at an average Times of India front page, it proposes to its readers lots of cricket, quite a dose of sex, some scandals, Bollywood gossip and very little of politics. The Times of India thinks it is wooing the young and hep in this way, but in the long run, a national newspaper of this stature which offers nothing of substance is committing suicide.
