those questioning sonia gandhi's commitment to india's cause by virtue of her foreign birth are missing a basic point: none of us of the current generation have the right to raise such an objection, because while sonia may lack understanding of the essence of this country, we do as well because we were not born until much after independence. the logic is impeccable further because if you continue to insist that her nationality is an issue, that is akin to insisting that one is born into certain privileges -- an evil against which our nation was founded.
