Penguin India Refuses Sonia Gandhi Memoir Publication in India

Penguin Random House India announced it will not publish Sonia Gandhi’s memoir, “Belonging: A Journey of Love,” locally, refuting claims that the decision stemmed from editorial disagreements. The publisher emphasized its standard fact-checking practices and noted ongoing confidential discussions with the author. The memoir, set for a global November release via Knopf, explores Gandhi’s personal life, political experiences, and India’s socio-political landscape. This follows recent controversies involving Penguin India’s withdrawal of other titles, including Joe Sacco’s work on the Muzaffarnagar riots and General M.M. Naravane’s memoir.
