Chief Minister of the northern Indian state of Uttar Pradesh Mayawati smiles after her birthday celebrations in New Delhi in this January 15, 2008 file photo. For a leader dubbed the ''Untouchables Queen'' who runs one of India's poorest states, it was indeed a birthday bash fit for royalty. Dressed in a diamond necklace and matching earrings Mayawati stood as her mostly higher-caste party aides and the state police chief each scooped up slops of her 52nd birthday cake in their hands and finger-fed their boss.
