Sonia Gandhi Debuts on Instagram, Shares First Look of Memoir 'Belonging'PreviousNext

Congress leader Sonia Gandhi made her Instagram debut by sharing the first look of her memoir, 'Belonging: A Journey of Love,' set for release on November 10, 2026. The memoir chronicles her journey from Italy to India, her marriage to Rajiv Gandhi, and personal tragedies including the deaths of Sanjay, Indira, and Rajiv Gandhi. The book's Indian publication faced delays after Penguin Random House India withdrew over editorial disagreements, with HarperCollins India now publishing it. Sonia Gandhi's post highlighted themes of love, duty, loss, and belonging.
