What's in a name? 60+ years of a country's history

What's in a name? Well the next time you raise this question, remember the following.......

Sonia Antonia Maino a.k.a. Sonia Gandhi (religious affiliation Christianity) W/O Rajiv Gandhi F/O Rahul Gandhi CB/O Varun Gandhi S/O Maneka Gandhi (religious affiliation Sikhism) W/O Sanjay Gandhi S/O Feroze Gandy a.k.a. Feroze Gandhi (religious affiliation Zoroastrianism) H/O Indira Priyadarshini a.k.a. Indira Gandhi D/O Jawaharlal Nehru S/O Motilal Nehru (religious affiliation Hinduism)


Forbes..........thoughts........
Sonia Antonia Maino - Nobody
Sonia Gandhi - World's 6th most Powerful Woman (2007)

I was considering religious affiliations at birth, I could not come up with religious affiliations for some people mentioned above, reason being bit too confusing for me.

Also, if you know the list of Indian Prime Minister's, you may come to a conclusion that a donkey has a better chance when he/she is from Gandhi family than yourself, if you both are considering to contest for India's Prime Ministership. Sorry Sonia, truth hurts baby.
