Sonia Gandhi says limited contact with Modi, notes shared concerns

Former Congress leader Sonia Gandhi said in her memoir that she has had little direct contact with Prime Minister Narendra Modi, though she acknowledged that they share some concerns. She had earlier told The Hindu that the book, titled "Belonging: A Journey of Love," reflects on her life, political experiences and the state of Indian democracy. In the same interview she criticised the current government's impact on institutions, defended the Congress party and recounted her evolution from a young bride to a political figure.

The Guardian reported that she also reflected on the assassinations of Indira and Rajiv Gandhi and offered her assessment of Modi's administration. NDTV noted that the memoir will focus on her personal and family story rather than politics and is scheduled for release in India on November 10.

    It’s striking how these big political shifts always end up hitting ordinary people hardest, the ones who just want stable institutions to protect their daily lives. I wonder how much the current turmoil weighs on those who have no power but still bear the brunt of weakened democracy.
