Penguin Random House India, the leading English-language trade publisher in the Indian subcontinent, has reportedly chosen not to publish Sonia Gandhi's upcoming memoir, Belonging: A Journey of Love. The decision comes after a conflict with the author over proposed editorial changes to the manuscript. The book was originally set to be released internationally on November 10 through Alfred A. Knopf, a division of Penguin Random House.
Knopf had initially planned to print 1 lakh copies of the memoir. PRHI had requested specific changes and deletions in a part of the memoir, to which Gandhi refused to make any alterations or omissions. The disagreement ultimately resulted in PRHI withdrawing from the project. This move leaves other publishers, including HarperCollins, in the running to publish and distribute the memoir in India.
The international release of the book is still on track for November 10, 2026, and will be published in the United States by Alfred A. Knopf.
