The case for Sonia Gandhi: "Dravidians and the tribals are the only true Indians. All others are hybrids. In fact, till recently some upper-caste communities in the Hindi belt were even proud of their Greek lineage."
The case against Sonia Gandhi: "Miss Hope Cook in Sikkim, who married the chogyal, acquired local citizenship, and got recognised as the queen of Sikkim; Alberto Fujimori, a Japanese citizen who migrated to Peru, acquired Peruvian citizenship, and got elected president; and Mahendra Chaudhry, an Indian who migrated to Fiji, acquired its citizenship, and became prime minister. Indira Gandhi herself suspected Hope Cook of being a CIA agent and asked Indian intelligence to keep her under surveillance. Ultimately, a public uprising brought down the chogyal and Hope Cook fled Sikkim. Fujimori was overthrown in a public uprising. He fled to Japan and re-acquired Japanese citizenship. The Japanese government has refused to extradite him to Peru, on the ground that he is a Japanese citizen, to face trial in corruption and other cases pending against him. Mahendra Chaudhry was overthrown in a military coup and native Fijians have since amended the Constitution to prevent a similar contingency in future. Native Fijians suspected Chaudhry of being an Indian agent who was promoting Indian interests."
Do you think the army chief will not hesitate even once while sharing his views with her on national security or the European Union?
