TimesOnline declares Sonia Gandhi as the President of India!
India's Sonia Gandhi may have renounced the post of Prime Minister of India a few years ago thus commiting the mother of all sacrifices... This deed definately increased her popularity. And as usual accolades were soon to follow. One of the recent recognitions that has come to her way was being declared as one of the top ten most powerful women in the world. And.. what has lead her to this rank? she is not the prime minister nor does she look after any crucial ministry... So how do we justify her place in the top ten?
This was probably the question that haunted the TimesOnline website. So how did they solve it? Well, simple they declared her the President of India!!! Yes, she is a president but that of the national party named India National Congress... but not many people may have heard of the local Indian party's name. So TimesOnline decided.. lets declare Sonia Gandhi President if India.. that'll make it more interesting ;)
Following is the link where I observed the hilarious typo on TimesOnline web page - http://timesonline.typepad.com/
For people who cant wait.. following is the screenshot. Enjoy!
