Congress President Sonia Gandhi is celebrating her 79th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, she is one of the most acclaimed politicians of her generation.

Popular politician Sonia Gandhi has always liked to keep a bit of herself hidden from view. At 79th birthday, she remains a woman of many facets.

Gandhi, a cultural icon

Born Antonia Edvige Albina Maino in Lusiana on December 9, 1946, her career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in Indian history. Gandhi's not just a great politician, she's an inspiration, an icon and a successful business woman. At this point in her career, there seems to be little Sonia hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Sonia Gandhi as she promises more to come. After all, she's only 79.

Happy Birthday, Sonia, you're the best!
