Everybody but (the answer is at the end of this article, don't cheat, wait till the last line!) wants Sonia Gandhi to become prime minister of India. It is true there is nothing wrong with Sonia Gandhi, not even her white skin, contrary to what the RSS may say. In fact she is probably a good person, certainly a devoted mother, who educated her children with dignity and protected them the best way she could, after the terrible death of her husband (and her mother-in-law before) which must have shattered them all. Surely also, she possesses other qualities which endear her to fellow party workers. She may even like India in her own way. Thus her Western origin is no bar to her becoming PM of India. After all, India had a Sister Nivedita, born in Ireland, very white looking, who was not only the most faithful disciple of Swami Vivekananda, but also loved her adopted country so much that she -- a member of her Majesty's empire -- did not hesitate to encourage and help nationalists such as Sri Aurobindo.
