She left her country for Rajiv Gandhi. She lost the love of her life and had every reason to leave India. But she chose to stay.
Despite everything she endured, Sonia Gandhi chose love over hate, courage over fear, and India over leaving.
Belonging: A Journey of Love ❤️
Food has always had a special place in my story. It was while looking for a good meal that I met Rajiv, and fell in love.
Years later, India came to me the same way, one meal at a time. At first the variety amazed me and the spice scared me. Now dal chawal is the taste of home, and I can't go a day without it.
For decades, people who knew so little about Sonia Gandhi ji's life questioned her love for India, her identity and whether she truly belonged here.
I often wonder what it must have taken to leave everything familiar behind, build a life in a new country, lose the person you loved, raise a family through unimaginable grief, turn down the opportunity to become Prime Minister, and still face years of personal attacks.
And through it all, she rarely chose to answer those who questioned her.
Today, holding Belonging: A Journey of Love in my hands, I feel there's so much about her journey we still need to understand.
For once, I don't want to hear what others have to say about Sonia Gandhi ji. I want to hear it from her. ❤️
“I have come to the conclusion that demonetisation is organised loot and legalised plunder.”
— Former PM Dr. Manmohan Singh Ji
Narendra Modi’s disastrous decision to impose demonetisation completed 10 years yesterday. The PM should debate its successes with Rahul Gandhi Ji.

"The values that I learnt growing up survive. I have tried my best to be true to them: loyalty to family and friends, sincerity and feeling for others, the idea of being dutiful and responsible. I think I can say that in these I am the same person Rajiv met sixty years ago." - CPP Chairperson @SoniaGandhi

A long time ago Rajiv and I realised that there was no point in trying to keep up with all that had been written about us. But, as I say in the book, there came a time when I felt that I should tell my own story.

The IAF Sports Complex has a long history and has,over the decades, served many public purposes, as well as being an integral part of the Indian Air Force social infrastructure. The Modi Govt’s actions are an absolute disgrace and show utter disrespect to the entire IAF family.
