The logic of contemporary history is to understand events as they happen. The wealth of information and the reflected upon recent events suggest an uncanny grasp of politics. In the present work the author has made an attempt with the help of the comments, views and opinions expressed by eminent scholars, journalists, political pundits and diplomats belonging to different walks of life, to bring home his point of view that Sonia’s foreign origin is a non-issue. This boldness, farsightedness, statesmanship and the unprecedented sacrifice and the renunciation of the crown of Premiership by Sonia Gandhi has impressed the entire nation. At the same time the short-sightedness and the malicious and virulent propaganda made against Sonia Gandhi was extremely disappointing. That is what prompted the author to expose the misdeeds of the party which was bent upon taking this country towards communialism and fundamentalism, thereby alienating the minority community from the mainstream. This book is a must for all who want to understand the events that-have happened in the recent past.
