In her tell‑all memoir “Belonging: A Journey of Love”, Congress leader Sonia Gandhi says she has never seen the photograph of former prime minister Rajiv Gandhi’s remains taken after the LTTE suicide bombing that killed him more than three decades ago.

Commentators such as Nishikant Dubey have questioned her portrayals of Sanjay and Rajiv, while other reviewers note occasional factual errors, such as the year of Ahmed Patel’s death.
