Sonia Gandhi’s memoir, titled “Belonging,” is set to be published in India by HarperCollins after Penguin Random House India withdraws from the project. HarperCollins India announced the decision, and the deal follows a public dispute about publishing plans for the book.
Multiple outlets report that Penguin Random House India said last week that it would not publish the memoir, citing an unspecified “particular issue.” While outlets differ on how they describe the dispute, they broadly agree that Penguin’s withdrawal created a change of publisher. HarperCollins India’s announcement presents “Belonging” as a memoir that blends personal reflections with political experiences.
HarperCollins also indicates that the Indian release date aligns with the international schedule. Scroll.in reports the memoir will be released on November 10, the same date as its international publication. The coverage focuses mainly on the publisher switch and the surrounding controversy, rather than the memoir’s specific content or excerpts.
