Sonia Gandhi's Memoir Sparks Debate on 1984 and 2002 Riots

Sonia Gandhi’s memoir “Belonging: A Journey of Love” has ignited political debate in India, touching on the 1984 anti‑Sikh riots, the 2002 Gujarat violence, and the Ayodhya dispute. While Gandhi frames the book as a personal love story, critics, especially the BJP, accuse her of whitewashing Congress’s role. The work also reveals family tensions with sister‑in‑law Maneka Gandhi, driving the book to bestseller status amid ongoing controversy.
