Memoir Or Political Manifesto? Sonia Gandhi's Take On India's Defining Crises

In Belonging: A Journey of Love, Sonia Gandhi revisits some of the most defining and controversial moments in modern Indian history, from the Shah Bano case and the Babri Masjid demolition to the Godhra riots and beyond. The memoir offers a detailed defence of key Congress-era decisions, sheds light on Rajiv Gandhi's thinking, and presents the Gandhi family's perspective on events that continue to shape India's political discourse. But as the BJP accuses Sonia Gandhi of selectively interpreting history and attempting to whitewash the Congress legacy, larger questions emerge: Is this a personal reflection, an ideological roadmap for the Congress's future, or an effort to reshape the narrative before 2029? Tonight, we decode the revelations, the political messaging and the controversy surrounding Sonia Gandhi's most candid account yet.
