HarperCollins to Publish Sonia Gandhi's Memoir After Penguin India Withdrawal
Sonia Gandhi's memoir, 'Belonging: A Journey of Love,' will be published in India by HarperCollins on November 10, 2026, following Penguin Random House India's decision to step away amid reported disagreements over editorial changes to politically sensitive content. The memoir traces Gandhi's life from post-war Italy to her political career in India, offering personal insights and reflections. Penguin India denied claims it dropped the book due to editorial disputes. The international edition will be published by Alfred A. Knopf, with the Indian release coinciding globally.
