Sonia Gandhi (born Edvige Antonia Albina Maino on December 9, 1946) is the President of Indian National Congress, one of the major political parties of India. She is Italian-born daughter-in-law of the late Prime Minister of India, Mrs. Indira Gandhi. After her husband Rajiv Gandhi's assassination in 1991, she was invited by the Indian Congress Party to take over the Congress but Gandhi refused and publicly stayed away from politics amidst constant prodding by the Congress. She finally agreed to join politics in 1997 and in 1998, she was elected as the leader of the Congress.

Since then, Gandhi has been the President of the Indian National Congress Party. She has served as the Chairperson of the ruling United Progressive Alliance in the Lok Sabha since 2004. In September 2010, on being re-elected for the fourth time, she became the longest serving president in the 125-year history of the Congress party. Her foreign birth has been a subject of much debate and controversy. Although Sonia is actually the fifth foreign-born person to be leader of the Congress Party, she is the first since independence in 1947.

Dr. Subramanian Swamy who has been a Prof. in IIT Delhi, Harvard & a successful parliamentarian can not be ignored. Mr. Swamy raises questions over educational qualifications & nationality of Sonia & Rahul Gandhi & which are well supported by prima facie evidences with him. The country must investigate about these allegations, Do these (Pseudo) gandhies deserve the treatment Indians give them. I certainly have my doubts. Why can't there be somebody other then gandhies a congress leader. How long this sycophancy prevail.

IF NATIVE INDIAN HINDUS DONT TAKE CHARGE AND FACE ISLAM FAIR AND SQUARE IN INDIA, THIS WILL BE SHAPE OF INDIA IN 2047. THOSE WHO FORGET THE LESSONS OF HISTORY ARE CONDEMNED TO RELIVE IT. There is an anti-Hindu establishment led by congress I (Islami-Isai) and its agents like corrupt anti-national media (NDTV, Bennet and Coleman) obfuscating through deceit the lessons of history. Al quaeda, taliban, pakistan, indian muslims all have a common denominator, hate ideology called totalItarian islam. MESSAGE TO MANMOHAN SINGH: When you should have targetted islamic terrorism, you sent ATS after "Hindu Terror" - a nonexisting entity and what was a despicable attempt to taint spiritual unorganized Hinduism with the same brush as the organised terror ideology of islam knowing well that there is no moral equivalence. You as a smart person, should have known the anti Hindu legacy of congress I, its divide and rule vote bank politics. In the anti-Hindu frame work of congress, Hindu/Sikh lives have little value. You have failed in asserting our Civilisational values and would do well to resign and not be used by the antonia maino (aka sonia gandhi) cabal. Please declare that we need Narendra Modi to handle terror and that congress is incapable of protecting India. YOU WILL BE DOING INDIA A BIG FAVOR IF YOU DO THIS. THAT WILL BE AN ACTION WE NATIONALISTS WILL APPRECIATE AND YOUR STATURE WILL GO UP. Consider joining BJP. Blaming foreign nations and doing nothing about it will expose u as <b>...</b>
