Rahul's grandfather, Feroze Gandhi, was used as a secret courier by Congress
detainees like Nehru. When stopped in the wee hours for violating curfew regs,
the Cambridge educated Parsee would tell the police he was Irish, and walk.
In
later years, Indira, the 'bonne vivante,' would abandon the ascetic Marxist
for
the comfort of the mansion on Dilli's Kingsway.
As Big 'G' wanders around the even bigger Outback, I continue to wonder : to
which Hindustan do we consign Rahul and Priyanka ! Mamma Soniya blends to two
Hindu origins, the Kaltic Atrusi (Etruscan) out of Antalya/Turkey, and Nile
Delta Phoenician-Romani. His papa's Persian tradition places the Afghan Range,
along with the Indus Plain, within the romantic zone of Farsee-Avasti-Sanskrit
lore.
I tell gawkers outside church that I am a Hindu who honours a Yodh who
was crucified in the Egyptian suburb of Kanaan. eric/arrik.

UG BARAD has now accepted that White man/woman do have a role to play in
India. I too accept this notion. Via Sonia! Viva Rahul. ( as you see I have
used White man's salutation)
