She is doing something, which we should all do for our nation. As per the Italian culture, she could have married anyone and could have lived her rest of her life in a way which any western woman would do. She was also not keen to join politics. She just came at a point when congress was about to split in to many parties. She is the one who saved congress. If you can accept Annie Besent and Mother Teresa then you can accpet Sonia too. She lost her husband and was left with two kids with no in-laws and no siblings!! Money and fame is not everything... she has sacrificed a lot for the nation... Atleast show some sympathy to her. I am not a congress supporter, but I still respect Sonia.
