Sonia Gandhi, the leader of Indian Congress Party eventually declined to become the country's next prime minister following outrage on the part of Hindu Nationalists over the prospect of having a foreign born prime minister. Inspite of her being a foreign-born, since the assassination of her husband, Sonia Gandhi has become the symbol of Nehru-Gandhi dynasty.
She led Congress party to a glorious victory and then sacrificed the coveted post of a prime minister of the largest democracy in the world.
