Sonia Gandhi does own a house, in fact, a home,

but not in India. In Italy! Not an ordinary home, it's

her ancestral home, her emotional connect to Italy.

 

This is not an allegation by a Subramanian Swamy

pointing to her obsession for her motherland, Italy.

It is Sonia's own admission in her nomination form for

the Rae Bareilly Lok Sabha constituency.

Statistically, she is among the millions of poor,

homeless people of India.

 

More, she does not own even a car. So, she is not

among the millions who own cars in this country. So,

in form at least she is among the crores of poor

people of this country who do not own cars. She seems

to suffer further in comparison with the poor. For,

these hundreds of millions of Indians at least own

bicycles or bullock carts. But obviously, she does own

either.

 

Yet, this homeless person does live in one of the

largest and luxurious bungalows in Delhi at No.10

Janpath. Valued in terms of its worth in the market,

it will cost some Rs 100 crores! But that is owned by

the government, but exclusively for her use.

 

Protected under special law, the government has

to provide houses,security-compatible houses, and

cars, bulletproof cars, for her.Thus, it is not that

she does not own houses or cars. She does not need to

own them.

 

Also, owning creates problems which enjoying

without owning avoids.Owning a house for instance

costs lots of money, particularly in Delhi. High

municipal taxes, expensive repairs and maintenance,

water charges and so on. So obviously, by not owning a

house, Sonia is not among the homeless millions of

India. By not needing to

own a house and having a government to own the house

for her, she is in a unique position.

 

So the logic is self-evident: you need not own

anything, should somebody else, preferably the

government, is obliged to own and provide for you. But

this is not what her list of assets would show. Of

course, what the government cannot provide, she has.

The government cannot provide her jewellery. So, she

has them, jewellery worth Rs 21

lakh. She has other assets.

 

But that Sonia does not have a house of her own

in India had remained a national secret. So is the

fact that she has a home in Italy. Thanks to the

mandatory rules of the Election Commission compelling

her to declare their assets, it is now known that she

has a home in Italy, and she only resides here without

a residence, of course. But the EC rules are

inadequate to detect what she enjoys

without having to own!

 

That she is homeless in India may be a political

talking point but,it dents her claim to have become an

Indian. Her claim as Indian rests solely on the

belated nationality papers she secured in 1983. See

this legal gap in her status as an Indian. In law,

that she has an ancestral home in Italy and does not

own a house in India, shows her intention to retain

her domicile, the desire

to settle finally, in Italy. In law domicile means

permanent home. Sonia may hold a certificate of

nationality here, but that decides her political

status, but does not testify that she has abandoned

her domicile of origin, Italy. In private

international law, the domicile of origin of Sonia

case as an Italian continues until she abandons

Italian connections and by choice acquires India as

her new home.

 

Acquiring Indian citizenship does not terminate

her Italian domicile, choose India as her home. Also,

in law, she cannot have Italian and Indian domiciles

simultaneously. That she has been physically resident

in India for long periods does not mean she has

acquired Indian domicile by choice.

Factually, also legally, she does not have a

residence in India at all! However luxurious the

government provided accommodation is, that is only her

postal address, not own home in law. In contrast, she

has her home, ancestral home only in her domicile of

origin, Italy.

 

Retaining her ancestral home in Italy and not

having a residence in India makes it clear in law that

she intends to settle in Italy. Abandonment of Italian

domicile, which is her origin, and acquisition of

Indian domicile require in law strong evidence of

both. Here her deliberate retention of her ancestral

home suggests that she never intended to abandon her

Italian domicile at all. The intention to

abandon the domicile of origin, Italy, to acquire new

domicile in India is completely absent because she has

no residence in India but has a permanent, ancestral

home in Italy. This is the legal position. She resides

here without residence, but, has her home in Italy.

She would have got the best legal advice. Yet, whey

does she retain her ancestral home which dents her

claim as an Indian? The

answer is evident. Despite the risks, she would still

not opt for India entirely.

 

But, what difference does it makes if Sonia, with

Indian

citizenship papers in her name, is domiciled in Italy?

The difference is this. Under private international

law, domicile decides the personal law applicable.

 

Italian domicile will mean she will be governed

in personal matters by Italian, not Indian, law! So,

Sonia, the ruling alliance leader will be Italian

subject in matters of personal law, that is, in

inheritance, marriage and like areas. So, she is

Italian in personal law and Indian only in public law,

that is, law of crimes and like laws. That is, half

Italian and half Indian.
