Congress leader Sonia Gandhi says her upcoming memoir, *Belonging: A Journey of Love*, is intended to correct inaccuracies and exaggerations about her life, and that it may prompt a reassessment of her public image. In a video she shared on X, she frames the book as a response to “others” who have spent decades telling her story, saying she is now “telling” it herself.
Across reports, Gandhi also references her relationship with Rajiv Gandhi during a key political moment. She says she was against Rajiv becoming Prime Minister after Indira Gandhi’s assassination, and that her decision to write is influenced by her belief that previous accounts of her views and actions were incorrect or inflated. Several outlets describe her prediction that the release of the memoir could spark controversy and attention, using the term “tamasha,” which she uses to describe the public reaction to the book.
