Dear Lawrence H. Summers ,

With due respect I wish to bring to your notice about an
ex-Student of Harvard  . Mr.Rahul
Gandhi is running for public office in India , he is projected by media and his
party as , "Harvard Graduate " , 
"Harvard Educated" ( Appendix ) . According to our information
though he studied at Harvard he didn't completed his Program .

Mr.Subramanian Swamy hold a faculty position at Harvard
openly stated that Rahul Gandhi left Harvard without qualifying for a degree in
a letter to Ms. Vasundara Raje ,Minister of State in charge of Personnel Dated , 
March 31, 2001.

Also we learnt from numerous sources that he didn't
completed his degree . Indians regard  Harvard 
as a Sacred Temple of Education and fountain of Knowledge , many students
from your esteemed University contributed to the development of India and have
occupied high positions . India is a largest Democracy in the world ,
unscrupulous persons who couldn't able to complete their degree are misusing
"Harvard" as a Marketing tool for running to Public 
office , by doing so they are not only doing a great disservice to the
Society but also lowering the dignity an respect of Harvard 
University .

This is not the first time such lies are spread to Indian
Public , please allow me to quote 2 instances .

1.Late Indian Prime Minister Mr.Rajive Gandhi claimed that
he was qualified  Mechanical
Engineer  from the Cambridge
University UK.  Subsequent enquiry
with University officials revealed that "Mr. Gandhi was in residence as an
undergraduate at Cambridge for three years, from 1962 until 1965; his subject of
study was Mechanical Sciences. During his time here he did not pass any
University examinations, and so he left Cambridge without qualifying for a
degree " . His name was removed from the Children's Encyclopedia by The
World Book Inc. of Chicago . But it was too late , he was able to successfully
dupe the Indian Public .

2. Ms.Sonia Gandhi wife of Rajive Gandhi 
has bluffed Indian Parliament in the Who”s Who wherein she states (p.
291) that she was educated in Cambridge University and received Diploma in
English . 

In this regard we request you to check the records of
Mr.Rahul Gandhi and issue a statement as early as possible in the interest of
general public

With Regards

S.Kanthi

The Harvard-educated Rahul currently owns a computer
consultancy firm in New Delhi. His candidacy, ironically, runs counter to a
ruling by his mother that two members of the same family should not be given
tickets to the same election! In any case, the Congress hopes that the 'politics
of pedigree' will see them through. However, it must be said that Rahul does not
enjoy the advantages that his father and grandmother had when they entered the
fray.
