@Randeep_Sisodia I am 100% certain that this Book will be a major major self-goal for congress.
This book will raise 000’s of ugly questions which Sonia & Congress can’t/will not answer
It was only yesterday that I learnt that, before Rahul Ji, Sonia Ji and Rajiv Ji had another son, born in early 1969, whom Rajiv Ji and Sanjay Ji buried at their farmhouse in Mehrauli.
In the book, Sonia Ji speaks of him with tenderness:
“Rajiv took me to see him, a tiny, perfectly formed boy, with thick, black hair and long, slim fingers. We fell in love with him immediately.”
She also recounts how Rajiv Ji, despite his stiff-upper-lip upbringing, broke down in tears when the baby died just hours later. She writes, too, of the guilt and depression she experienced in the aftermath.
Leaving politics aside, I wonder how many people can relate to this grief - the grief of a young parent who has lost their child.
Let this book humanise Sonia Ji. Let it extend to her the “privilege” of being seen as human, and not just a politician.
Though I haven’t yet read Sonia Gandhi’s personal memoir “Belonging”, yet; I can imagine that it must be unputdownable & a more gripping story that any novel can be.
What an absolutely remarkable life!
An Italian marrying the son of an Indian PM. Then seeing the emergency and Mrs Gandhi going out of power. Then seeing her going to jail and her remarkable political comeback. Then seeing her assassination & her dying in her arms!
Then seeing her husband become the PM in the biggest political landslide ever. Then watching him lose the election & then being brutally assassinated. Then as she watched the Congress party disintegrate, she reluctantly took the reins of the party & led to its revival & return to power. She abdicated her natural claim to be the PM in favour of Manmohan Singh. Yet she shepherded 5 remarkable pro people laws (The RTI Act; NREGA; The food security Act; the Forest Rights Act; The new land Acquisition Act), through her National Advisory Council. Then finally watched the Congress party humiliated & the rise to power of Modi/Shah who brought in their own brand of communal fascism. All through this, she was subjected to the worst kind of abuse & name calling.
There is little doubt that this personal memoir will cause a political earthquake in India!
@Prisha42i The girl is standing in front of the mirror. But the objects in mirror behind her are not similar to the actual objects and girl behind her.

मंदिर चाहिए हिंदुओं को,
दीपावली मनानी है हिंदुओं को,
करवाचौथ मनाना है हिंदुओं को,
नवरात्रि मनानी है हिंदुओं को।
अगर ये सारे उत्सव मनाने हैं,
तो फिर योगी जी को तीसरी बार लेकर आना पड़ेगा।
Is Edvige Antonia Albina Maino a deep asset planted by foreign intelligence to stop India from becoming a major power by “hooking” Rajiv Gandhi?
Did that someone also facilitate Indira Gandhi killing to elevate Rajiv Gandhi?
Not to forget Sanjay Gandhi, who was killed in an air crash (how convenient!), and who was more into politics than Rajiv Gandhi.
And later assassinate Rajiv Gandhi to bring their asset to the Number 1 position?
Point to note: no further attacks on the Gandhi family after Rajiv Gandhi’s death. Sonia Gandhi is firmly in place and safe after Rajiv Gandhi.
Mission accomplished?
