Babri, Godhra, 1984 Riots: 5 Biggest Flashpoints In Sonia Gandhi’s Memoir
Sonia Gandhi’s autobiography, Belonging: A Journey of Love, has triggered a fresh political confrontation between the BJP and the Congress. The book revisits several contentious chapters of India’s political history, including the 1984 anti-Sikh violence, the Babri Masjid demolition, the 1975 Emergency and the 2002 Gujarat riots. It also makes striking revelations about former Prime Minister Pranab Mukherjee’s reported ambitions to become Prime Minister and raises questions about the Bofors controversy. While the BJP has accused Sonia Gandhi of selectively presenting history and shielding the Gandhi family’s political legacy, the Congress has defended the memoir as her personal account. From historical controversies to unanswered political questions, we examine the five major flashpoints that have turned Sonia Gandhi’s autobiography into a political battleground.
