Sonia Gandhi's Memoir Details Political Journey, Family, and Views on Modi Government

Analysed 10 Nov 2026·101 sources analysed·London, United Kingdom·Politics
Sonia Gandhi's Memoir Details Political Journey, Family, and Views on Modi GovernmentPreviousNext

Sonia Gandhi's memoir, 'Belonging: A Journey of Love,' offers a personal account of her life, political decisions, and family experiences, including her limited interactions with Prime Minister Narendra Modi, whom she describes as avoiding eye contact. She reflects on declining the 2004 prime ministership, choosing Manmohan Singh instead, and recounts family tragedies like Rajiv Gandhi's assassination. The book also addresses ideological differences with Modi, critiques the BJP's governance, and reveals internal Congress dynamics, while receiving criticism from BJP for allegedly whitewashing Congress's past.
