French President Nicholas Sarkozy has been invited to India as the guest for its Republic Day celebrations. The Indian officials heaved a sigh of relief as he came without her girlfriend Carlo Bruni, as they were unsure whether to treat her as wife of the president or an official. Sarkzoy meanwhile was overwhelmed with India’s red carpet welcome and has asked the prime minister to reciprocate his visit. The French president will preside over the republic day celebrations that will showcase India’s might in the armed forces to the world. Controversial writer Taslima was given the invitation at the behest of the visiting French President, Nicholas Sarkozy, to Paris to award her Prix Simon de Beauvoir, after Indian authorities refused a French proposal to confer the honour on the author in India during Sarkozy's visit. The Prix Simon de Beauvoir is considered one of the best awards for feminist writing the world over.
