what is the qualification of Sonia Gandhi and what she used to do before she got married to rajiv gandhi.?

Answer 1

In addition to the answer from koolbuddy, I would like to forward the following text I received from a friend:

Damn Interesting on why Sonia Gandhi did not become the prime minister.

The President is said to have informed her that according to Section
5 of the Citizenship Act of 1955, she has no right to assume the
office of the Prime Minister of India and that he was seeking the advice of
the Supreme Court on this issue.

Section 5 of the Citizenship Act of 1955 clearly says the rights and
privileges allowed to foreigners who become citizens by application
(not by birth) will only be those as are granted to Indians in the
country of the concerned person's origin (in this case Italy). Which
means that since an Indian cannot be the PM of Italy, even if he is
granted Italian citizenship, then Indian law says that an Italian
who is granted Indian citizenship cannot be PM of India. Period. The
Citizenship Act, 1955 is available for all to read at this link

The President reportedly told Sonia that he had to ascertain the
legal position in this matter as there was no confirmation that all
the rights and privileges granted to persons of Italian origin are
reciprocated by Italy in the case of Indians who become citizens of
that country.

Sonia is said to have decided not to take the risk after the
President's briefing. It should also be noted that the President, in
his letter on Monday, invited her only to discuss assuming the post of
Prime Minister, and not to assume office.

That was the reason why Sonia made such a "huge sacrifice" after
"listening to her inner voice." Just two days ago she did not refuse
when her party elected her the Leader of her party. Thereafter she
said that the leader of the single largest party should, in her
opinion, be the next Prime Minister. And two days later suddenly an
inner voice told her to make a tamasha of a sacrifice. Maybe her inner
voice sounded like the booming APJ Abdul Kalam, a true Indian.

Answer 5

Sonia Gandhi (leader of the Congress Party of India, born Edvige Antonia Albina Maino on December 9, 1946, is an Italian-born Indian politician, the President of the Indian National Congress and the widow of former Prime Minister of India, Rajiv Gandhi. She was the Chairperson of the ruling United Progressive Alliance in the Lok Sabha, until she resigned on the 23rd of March 2006. She was named the third most powerful woman in the world by Forbes magazine in the year.2004[2] and currently ranks 13th. She was returned to Parliament by a margin of over 400,000 votes in the recently held by-election for Rae Bareilly after the office of profit controversy.

Early life
Born to Stefano and Paola Maino, as Edvige Antonia Albina Maino, in Lusiana, a little village 50 km from Vicenza, Italy, she spent her adolescence in Orbassano, a town near Turin being raised in a Roman Catholic family and attending a Catholic school. Her father, a building contractor and former Fascist supporter, died in 1983 [3]. Her mother and two sisters still live around Orbassano.
In 1964, she went to study English at The Bell Educational Trust's language school in the city of Cambridge. While doing this certificate course she met Rajiv Gandhi, who was enrolled at the time in Trinity College at the University of Cambridge. They were married in 1968, after which she moved into the house of her mother-in-law and then Prime Minister, Indira Gandhi.

She initially disliked Indian food and clothes, and caused controversy when she was photographed wearing a miniskirt [4]. It was not until 1983 that she acquired Indian citizenship. The couple had two children, Rahul Gandhi (born 1970) and Priyanka Gandhi (born 1972).
Despite the family's heavy involvement in politics (her mother-in-law Indira Gandhi, daughter of Jawaharlal Nehru, was Prime Minister), Sonia and Rajiv avoided all involvement - Rajiv worked as an airline pilot, and Sonia took care of her family. When Indira was ousted from office in 1977 and when Rajiv entered politics in 1982, Sonia continued to focus on her family and avoided all contact with publicity.

Role in Indian politics and related controversies
During Rajiv Gandhi's five years in office the Bofors Scandal broke, and Ottavio Quattrocchi an Italian business man believed to be involved, was said to be a friend of Sonia Gandhi and had access to the Prime Minister's official residence. [5]
Following her husband's assassination on May 21, 1991, there were calls for her to enter politics by members of the Congress Party.[6] After her refusal, the party settled on the choice of P V Narasimha Rao as leader and, subsequently, Prime Minister. She finally entered politics just before the 1998 national election. She officially took charge of the Congress party as its president in 1998 and was elected to parliament in the elections held in 1999. She was elected the Leader of the Opposition of the 13th Lok Sabha in 1999.
During her campaign, her opponents (mainly the Bharatiya Janata Party) played up her foreign birth, her failure to take Indian citizenship for 15 years after her wedding, and her lack of fluency in Hindi or any Indian language despite her claim that she had "become an Indian in her heart the day she became Indira Gandhi's daughter-in-law". In May 1999, Sonia Gandhi offered to resign from the Congress Party leadership after three senior leaders (Sharad Pawar, Purno A. Sangma and Tariq Anwar) challenged her right to try to become India's Prime Minister, given that she was not born of Indian blood or soil.
In the 2004 general elections, Sonia launched a nationwide campaign, criss-crossing the country on the Aam Aadmi (Ordinary people) slogan in contrast to the 'India Shining' slogan of the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) alliance. After her party's unexpected victory, she was tipped to be the next Prime Minister of India. On May 16, she was unanimously chosen to lead a 15-party coalition government which was subsequently named the United Progressive Alliance (UPA).
Parliament was, however, badly fractured, and despite being the largest grouping of parties in India's parliament, the 15-party UPA was not able to secure a majority and had to depend on outside support from the Left Parties to form a government. After a storm of controversy over her foreign origin, Gandhi declined to the leadership of the Congress Parliamentary Party in the Lok Sabha, the position that would have indicated that she was the party's nominee for Prime Minister. Her supporters hailed this as an act of renunciation while her opponents attacked it as a political move in which the ultimate aim was to gain an absolute majority for the Congress Party in Parliament, subsequent to which she would become Prime Minister.[citation needed]
At the time, several members of the National Democratic Alliance - notably Subramaniam Swamy and Sushma Swaraj - claimed that there were legal reasons that barred her from the Prime Minister's post, and, indeed, from Parliament.[7]. They pointed, in particular, to Section 5 of the Indian Citizenship Act of 1955, which they claimed implied 'reciprocity'. This was contested by others[8] and eventually the suits were dismissed by the Supreme Court of India.[9] The Supreme Court of India also dismissed an attempt to prosecute her for falsely claiming to have graduated from Cambridge University during the election [10].

On May 18, a day before her scheduled inauguration, she nominated noted economist Dr. Manmohan Singh for the Prime Minister's post. Dr. Singh had served as India's finance minister in a previous Congress party government headed by Rao, and is considered by many as the chief architect of India's economic reforms of the early 1990s. Moreover, the fact that he was not known to have any political ambitions and that he enjoyed a good rapport with Sonia Gandhi probably helped him to win the post. Sonia retained the post of the Leader of the Majority and the Chairperson of the Congress Parliamentary Party. This arrangement enabled her to keep political control of the party and to deal with the political fire fights in the giant coalition government while leaving the management of the country in the hands of Manmohan Singh.
Congress President Sonia Gandhi on March 23, 2006 announced her resignation from the Lok Sabha and also as chairperson of the National Advisory Council. According to Indian electoral law, an elected person cannot hold an office of profit (meaning paid posts). She was re-elected from her constituency Rae Bareilly in May 2006.

As chairperson of the National Advisory Committee, she played an important role in making the National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme into law.
