This is Priyanka Gandhi, one of the candidates which the `secular' Congress has projected as its main hope for the future.
Indeed, this is evident from Priyanka's open admiration for Indira Gandhi and her self-proclaimed intention to "emulate" Indira.
Whether Priyanka shall manage to exterminate as many Sikhs as Indira Gandhi, and whether she shall succeed in castrating as many Sudra men in enforced sterilisation drives remains to be seen.

Her marriage to Feroze Gandhi was controversial and because of it, was celebrated less simply than the marriage of Rajiv or Sanjay.
Indira Gandhi explained the situation thus to an interviewer: 'The whole nation was against this wedding because Feroze was of a different religion.
But Mahatma Gandhi rightly pointed out that under any other circumstances be himself would want that; but with a wedding as controversial as this people would think that my father didn't want to do anything for my husband and me, and this, he said, would not be fair to my father or to us.

Sonia Gandhi, understandably, had her reservations — not as the keeper of the dynasty, but as a mother: sources close to Sonia say that she was worried that Priyanka was getting into the marriage blindly.
Robert, after all, was the only boyfriend she had ever known — her decision, she feared, was made from inexperience rather than love.
Robert, apparently, had been toying with the idea of publicly disowning his family, but it was Sonia who reportedly tried to dissuade him, as she felt that ‘‘when it gets out, it will be undignified’’.

Gandhi: These same leaders who today are very happy with technology and claim that India is moving forward, when these policies were put in place by my father they scoffed and said, 'India does not need computers.' My father put in place this vision, the communications revolution a long time ago, 15 years ago.

When he decided to marry Priyanka, Robert must have been aware that he would have to modify his lifestyle to fit in with the requirements of his in-laws, who are perennially under the scrutiny of both the public and the media.
Robert’s grandfather-in-law, Feroze Gandhi was similarly conscious that once he married Indira Nehru he would have to subjugate his personality.
The late B K Nehru confided to Indira Gandhi’s biographer, Katherine Frank, that he was shocked at the way the Nehru household neglected the shy and highstrung Kamala and seemed utterly indifferent to her poor physical and mental state.

 IMC India - Foreign origin not the only issue against Sonia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
Foreign origin of Sonia Gandhi is not the only issue that disqualify her from occupying high official positions in the Bharat country but her deliberate non-involvement with the spirit and soul of Bharat.
Gandhi, he said, had made a ``false claim in her biography published in [the] Lok Sabha's Who's Who but had to retract [it] after I gave the Speaker a letter from the University of Cambridge denying that she was ever a student there.''
Congress President Sonia Gandhi's does not have "competence" for the prime ministerial post, as "she has never been able to speak in Parliament without a written text." Apart from the issue of Sonia Gandhi's foreign origins, the people should be worried that she might eclipse the development of Bharat.

Sonia Gandhi was in a real joy as she happily kept nodding to the sycophant Congress leaders telling her that "Rajiv Gandhi" had taken the rebirth in the family and explaining to her the Hindu mythology of rebirth.
