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.

You make a valid point. There is no point in questioning Sonia Gandhi. She has been the fulcrum of UPA and undertaken the responsibility with aplomb. We have a well established two-pole polity now, thanks to stability within UPA. UP parties like SP & BSP have been not quite in these formations, and hence the Communist speculation of third front. if SP joins either NDA or UPA and BSP the other, the polarisation which Prez Kalam recently spoke of, would be complete; thereby paving way for a very long term social stability in whole of India.

Supporting a foreigner and a family only shows the bankruptcy of the political party in a democratic country and it is the signal that they are still likes to become a slave of the foreigners.
