Sonia Gandhi's memoir Belonging revisits some of India's most defining political moments, from the Shah Bano controversy and Ayodhya to Operation Blue Star. Her account of Indira Gandhi's reported remorse after Blue Star has drawn sharp criticism from the BJP, which accuses her of selective recollection and demands accountability for the 1984 anti-Sikh violence. The Congress defends Sonia's right to share her family's perspective on history.
