West salutes Italian in a sari

LONDON : An Italian in a sari, screams France 's Liberation . Born in Italy , ready to rule India , The Vancouver Sun tells the Canadian province of British Columbia , which became the first to have a premier of Indian extraction. From Italian housewife to reluctant Prime Minister, says Britain 's Daily Telegraph .




Across the West, the press is deeply unsure if Gandhi's win is a simple return to dynasty or a sign of India 's unique political inclusiveness. So it has largely plumped for the dynastic connotations of Gandhi's win while highlighting her foreign origin as an oddity.



The reference to Gandhi poised to become the fourth PM from her family is every where. It's there in The Times , The Guardian , The Independent and even in the The Scotsman . France 's Le Figaro , Switzerland 's Le Temps , Germany 's Die Welt , Dublin 's Irish Times , The Boston Globe , The Baltimore Sun , Seattle Times and Montreal Gazette all recall the dynasty's grip on India .



And in a front-page piece by Salman Rushdie , Italy 's La Republica describes the win as a victory of hope.



But it is Le Figaro that offers the most interesting twist. "It was the Italian woman's revenge," says the paper, referring to unceasing attacks from Hindu nationalists over her origins.



And it commends her for accomplishing what seemed an impossible feat. For good measure, it adds that even Gandhi's "closest associates doubted the ability of ‘Sonia the Italian' to defeat the nationalist camp".



And Le Temps , published out of Geneva , contrasts Sonia's confident win with the days after Rajiv's assassination, when she was walled in by dumbness and sorrow. Praising her as methodical and untiring, it records her journey across far-flung parts of India , beating the drum of uneven economic development. And it salutes her shrewdness in playing the dynastic chart by launching into the political arena her two popular children near the very end of the campaign period. The Vancouver Sun — with its huge, mainly Punjabi population — offers five stories on the elections, adding in one of them that the Congress party has support in the British Columbia community.



Britain 's sage and relatively better-informed press, meanwhile, took upon itself the task of advising Gandhi and the new coalition. With three of four leading broadsheets running first editorials on the shock win, the consensus was Gandhi deserved it. The Guardian saluted her doggedness, suggesting it wasn't a bad place to start the process of governing India . And the Daily Telegraph wondered, along with more than a billion Indians, how does the Catholic daughter of an Italian contractor find herself on the threshold of becoming their PM.

Nice argument. I do not know about other, but I subscribe to this. The English have taken our pride, our freedom and have given us a lot. Little did they realize that they would give India an enormous edge in the upcoming years.

One could put forward a case that if the British di not come to India and channelize the social/ecomonic variables in India, we would be a proud and unified country but getting nowhere.

The nearest equivalent I can think of is that we would a self sufficient and prosperous country like Scotland. Mostly remebered for our peacful and non-interfering lifesytle, good culture and great food and music.

The resliance from foreign rule, added with the leftover standards and metrics latently heled India become a better nation.

IMO, the current situation is incomparable and more importantly and UNFORCED error.

Sonia's gift to YS: Andhrabhavan in ROME.

What was the reason for India driving british out when they worked so much for India.

1. They laid so many roads and railway tracks for us.
250 years ago when the British staked their first pound on the Indian Railways, little did they dream that they were laying the foundations of what would one day become the largest passenger train service in the World. At that time only eight other countries were running railways: Britain, France, Germany, Holland, Italy, Spain, USSR and USA.


2. India was just a myth, never was a country as a whole, infact it was like Europe but British managed to join such vast different cultures into one.

3. they gave a common language which everyone can speak, i.e English.

4. Before British rule, there was no private property in land. The self-governing village community handed over each year to the ruler or his nominee a share of the years produce. East India Company put a stop to this and introduced a new revenue system superseding the right of the village community over land and creating two new forms of property on land - landlordism and individual peasant proprietorship.

5. we could have dated some white girls, if british were in India.

6. they have created a separate muslim state from India, otherwise we would have daily fighting with those muslims in India.

so let us invite British to rule us once again as now we are open to foreign rulers. remember british stayed in india for around 200 years, so they are more indian than we think. some of them stayed for more than 30 years, which should make them patriots as that is what we feel nowadays.
