Sonia Gandhi Makes Instagram Debut and Shares First Look of Her Memoir

Congress chairperson Sonia Gandhi made her debut on Instagram on Thursday, October 22, 2026, launching the first look of her upcoming book from her office in New Delhi.

Memoir Details

Titled 'Belonging: A Journey of Love', the book is published by HarperCollins and scheduled to hit stores on November 10. In her debut post, the Congress leader shared a video posing with the book, which recently stirred a controversy due to its publication shift. Her daughter and Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi Vadra was seen distributing sweets to her mother to celebrate the moment.

Publication History

According to the reports, the memoir was initially supposed to be published in India by PHRI. However, that publisher later withdrew from the project following differences over the manuscript.

Context

Memoirs by prominent political figures often attract significant public attention as they offer a personal view into decades of public service and private life. Social media platforms now serve as direct channels for public figures to announce major milestones without relying solely on traditional press releases.
