What's behind this
Nishikant Dubey has publicly questioned Sonia Gandhi’s depiction of Sanjay Gandhi as a villain and Rajiv Gandhi as a hero, a view presented in her memoir Belonging: A Journey of Love. The book, which traces her transition from an Italian woman who married Rajiv Gandhi to a leading political figure, also recounts early family tensions with Maneka Gandhi and growing political divisions after Sanjay’s death, as well as other personal anecdotes such as a 1968 pregnancy news and a 2010 conversation about Pranab Mukherjee’s ambitions. Critics have also highlighted errors in various chapters of the memoir.
