One who is closely watching the performances of the above two 'S' (Sania Mirza) and (Sonia Gandhi) can see meteoric rise in their career charts.
When Sania, the one and only Indian woman Tennis sensation in international tennis circuit, came into prominence, it was literally like a bolt from the blue. That pretty, fair skinned, tall, Hyderabadi lass, attired in her classic tennis suits, played her match, one after the other, in almost all the Grand Slam events in the world, none ever thought that she would make such sensational performances, by lifting up her career quite gradually from nothingness. After finding a place within the hundred tennis greats, she aimed for to place herself within the fifty greats. And after achieving that goal, she so relentlessly clings on so as now to place herself within the 30 greats. In that, her prideful moment came recently when she defeated one of the former No.1 - Martina Hingis in the East West Tennis classic. Along with her single events, she also pursued the doubles as well and gained several victories that kept her morale high. If she continues this chart, undoubtedly she would reach that level where in at least one of the Grand Slam events she may give some tough fights to some of the reigning women champions and may even clinch at least one for this country. I give all the credit to her parents who overlooked all the challenges, criticisms that came from some of the fundamentalists who even objected to her presentation in a dress code that is forbidden for Muslim women. But the much moderate parents and the convent educated Sania, whom the whole nation watches with extreme hope to bring some laurels in the coming years, didn't mind much of such narrow minded views. May the Mighty God lead, guide and enable her to achieve her goal at the earliest.
The other woman on whom the nation pinned its hopes is Sonia Gandhi. Recently, when there was heated debate over the Presidential candidate to replace Dr APJ Abdul Kalam, though Madam Sonia Gandhi in the capacity as the Congress President as well as the Chairperson of the UPA Co-ordination committee put forth several veterans but none of them suited the demands of the UPA constituents vis-à-vis the supporting Leftists. Ultimately, Sonia Gandhi was authorized to come up with a different candidate of her own choice. And when she came up with the candidature of Ms Pratibha Patil, though the main opposition NDA and another newly formed UNPA vehemently opposed it, casting several aspersions against Ms Patil, yet, Ms Pratibha Patil is now occupying Raisina Hills, winning the first ever hotly contested presidential election to become the first ever woman President in this country on the eve of its celebrating the 60th year of Independence. Remember, it was the same Sonia Gandhi whose nomination as the Prime Minister of this country was so vehemently opposed by the Bharatiya Janata Party led NDA in 2004. Some women parliamentarians of the BJP like Sushma Swaraj and Uma Bharati took such vows that were quite unparalleled in contemporary Indian history. So what, doubtlessly, Sonia Gandhi is now the de-facto Prime Minister vis-à-vis the all powerful woman in Indian polity. Whenever one thinks about the secret behind her strength and success, one can only conclude that her strength lies in her silence. In the much troubled and much maligned Indian politics, this Italian born, Indian settled Bahu of the Nehru parivar rolled so well to the requirements of time that perhaps this was the true meaning of 'our tryst with destiny' which her great grandfather-in-law meant in his speech at the stroke of midnight on 14-15th August 1947 while unfurling the tricolour thereby heralding the freedom of this great nation.
