The mysteries of India.

She has to be the Cleopatra of modern India who could charm men at will so that years after a bitter divorce a former husband helped her to murder her daughter who may also have been her sister. The amazing thing is that, from her newspaper photos, Indrani Mukerjea is no beauty worth dying for, let alone worth killing for. Yet she has a share in a Rs 8 billion fortune with her present husband. She must have thought that she had got away with it as she apparently got away with siphoning large sums of money from INX Media, a company she founded with her latest husband, Peter. Why they returned from England, which is a safe haven for an assortment of the worst criminals of the world, is a mystery. Will this be the 'rarest of the rare' case where the murder is proved in a court of law and the guilty sent to prison before most actors die of old age? We shall see. Another mystery is how little we know about the woman who ruled India for 10 years from 2004 to 2014, which resulted in a near collapse of the economy, a destruction of education and a loss of an entire generation from the employment market. Some believe that Ms Sonia Gandhi is worth $6 billion and the reason why she refused to be prime minister was because a prime minister never travels alone so it is difficult to transport riches. Even her visits to the US for apparent surgery are top secret like in North Korea where Kim Jong-Il's death was kept a secret for 51 hours. Her son, Rahul is the Vice President of the Congress and is expected to wear the crown should he be able to lead the party to victory at the next election. He is supposed to have studied in England, which harbors some of the worst rogues of the world, and apparently worked at the Monitor Group which went bankrupt and was taken over by Deloitte. Mr Rahul established Backops Services Private Limited but it is not clear whether it has ever done any business. At present it is located at a Delhi address and has 2 directors, one Manoj Muttu and Ms Priyanka Gandhi, sister of Rahul. Never heard of Mr Muttu? Neither have we. He is apparently a distant relative of the Gandhis and is very media shy. Apart from Backops he manages, not shyly we hope, several trusts belonging to The Family. We do not know how much money is managed by those trusts. Mr Gandhi has claimed to be a Brahmin. We Hindus do not convert so it is not possible for someone to become a Brahmin. His grandfather was Feroz Khan, a Muslim, who apparently changed his name to Gandhi, a Parsi, to marry Ms Indira Nehru. So either he is a Muslim or a Zoroastrian but a Hindu he is not. But if Congress is so secular as it claims to be why proclaim your religion? No wonder India is known as a land of mystery.
