  "account": "Rahul Gandhi expressed deep joy upon sharing the cover of his mother Sonia Gandhi's memoir, \"Belonging: A Journey of Love,\" set to release in November. In an emotional message on X, he reflected on the challenging times Sonia endured after her husband Rajiv Gandhi's death, acknowledging that only he and his daughter Priyanka truly understood her struggles. He praised her courage and dignity in enduring life's trials, stating that he was both happy and proud that her story would finally be shared with the world. The memoir, published by Alfred A Knopf, offers an intimate look at Sonia's journey, including her marriage into the Nehru-Gandhi political dynasty and her decision not to seek the prime ministership. Sonia herself emphasized that her story provides a unique perspective on the social and political changes she witnessed over six decades in India.",
