Center-Left Owned by Siasat DailySonia says Bhagavad Gita helped her overcome fear of politics
What's behind this
Sonia Gandhi told The TFI Post that she finally chose to write her memoir, Belonging: A Journey of Love, calling it a love story and a tale of her growing attachment to India, while recalling the hurt over the foreign‑origin row and the 2004 decision. She said she always disliked politics and was at war with herself after Rajiv Gandhi’s assassination, but the Bhagavad Gita helped resolve those doubts. She defended Indira Gandhi’s 1975 Emergency as constitutionally done, noting that Indira later publicly expressed regret and apologized for its excesses, and warned that Congress workers have faced persecution and that the government has caused “great damage to India.”
