Congress leader Sonia Gandhi’s upcoming memoir, Belonging: A Journey of Love, is highly anticipated by many readers. While the book promises to reveal her private life, she first shared personal stories during a 2007 speech at the Netherlands-based Nexus Institute. This rare account showed how politics eventually chose her path.
Congress Parliamentary Party (CPP) chairperson Sonia Gandhi’s promised memoir, Belonging: A Journey of Love, is among the most anticipated books in India this year — not only for its political content but also for the glimpse it offers into the private life of one of the country’s most ‘private’ public figures.
She has promised that the book is bound to create a ‘tamasha’ as she tells her story in her own words. But almost two decades before the memoir, Ms. Gandhi offered a rare account of her private world in a speech at the Netherlands-based Nexus Institute.
