Nice,by @rkarnad!
“Love is a word…missing from India’s political lexicon…At a time when “India is governed by a grim, abusive patriarch…(and) has never felt further from love”, Love “sits there flickering in the light of its own daring…”
Imo,this partly explains the timing!
Nobody would commission me to write about Sonia Gandhi's memoir, so l've gone ahead and done it the other way: without reading the book, or anything about it.
So here is a review of the title and cover of Sonia Gandhi's memoir:

This “journalist” is gushing about a (godawful) invite she’s got to a wedding where the “Bahubali” (her words) is “gifting” his daughter ₹3 crores & his new “damad” a Defender.
Btw, this lot has been calling Indira Gandhi elitist & out-of-touch for eating on a dining table…🙄

Hindus making themselves right at home doing what their Diwali-celebrating families back home do - poison the air, litter the streets, and be an obnoxious nuisance…
Videos showing New Jersey streets covered in firecracker waste after Diwali celebrations have sparked a debate over civic responsibility among Indians celebrating abroad.
Clips from areas including Jersey City and India Street show roads strewn with discarded firecracker boxes, wrappers and ash. Firefighters were seen using powerful water jets to clear the debris, while police monitored the situation as crowds gathered.

Poisonous air, filthy river, incongruous music, sycophantic cruise name, the lowest IQ leadership Delhi’s ever had, and NOT ONE person on the boat wearing a mask…
The world’s best satirist couldn’t imagine a more surreal dystopian scene…

Indonesia is such a weird country. Apparently rules there are meant to be followed. To make it worse, they have a functional Supreme Court where Judges ensure laws are enforced even if the person violating it is powerful. They can never become a developed nation by 2047

His great-grandson just served notice on the vote thief.

One should have the courage to say that this is the site where the crime of the demolition of Babri Masjid was committed. It cannot give you spiritual peace, as it keeps reminding you of the sin of destroying a religious place.
@KirtiAzaad stirs the pot. Says won’t visit RamMandir. He’s from Mithila, the birthplace of #Sita who was thrown out by Lord Ram despite the #Agnipariksha. Hmmm
We are living through times that will go down in history as India’s Lost Years of Catastrophic Misfortune…

No better is expected of a criminal regime that’d sell its mother to curry favour with its base, but shame on the timid courts & idiot public bursting firecrackers with abandon…
Unfair that #AirPollution will kill all of us and not just those deserve to face the consequences…
The assessment by the Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology (IITM), Pune, based on real-time scientific data, shows that firecrackers contributed to 71.1% of PM2.5 pollution in Delhi’s air between 1 am and 9 am on November 9 (Monday), immediately after the Diwali celebrations wound down.

Kangana Ranaut seems to point a finger at Sonia Gandhi for the murder / death of Sanjay Gandhi / Indira Gandhi / Rajiv Gandhi.
It is a failure of our Parliamentary democracy and a tragedy that such a perverse person gets elected to LS and is responsible for enacting laws that Govern our nation.
Even in the end of the clip every one leaves but Maneka stays looking at Mrs Gandhi like a wounded little child seeking some comfort may be a little smile or a gaze in her direction, she stays hoping for one sign but nothing comes only coldness and slowly she disappears like she is there but doesn’t exist. Heartbreaking!
On the other hand every one seems to be wrapped around little finger of a mysterious foreign national who bumped in to older son Rajeev Gandhi in a cafe abroad and ever since became inseparable, younger son Sanjay was being formally trained by Mrs Gandhi but he dies mysteriously and his vulnerable young window Maneka was thrown out of his house for random reasons and shortly after that the mother in law and husband were also killed one after the other.
Leaving mysterious foreigner Sonia Gandhi as the head of government, wow!! How convenient!!

So many nasty replies to this (that I’ve hidden as don’t need them on my TL) that prove 1) Being boorish, crude & loud is considered real and “rooted” and 2) We prefer the hypocrisy of pretending what you’re not over the honesty of being yourselves… 🙄
Nice!
+ Calm down, folks.
Of course Mrs Indira Gandhi & family were privileged! How’s that news? 🙄
And this is the early 80s….not exactly the Stone Age! Eg we, a regular family in Delhi, too wore western clothes, ate at dining table, spoke English, had a phone & read books…

How pathetic and shameless it is to use a fake educational certificate while holding one of the highest constitutional positions.

Going by the amount of buzz Sonia Gandhi’s memoir is creating, won’t be surprised if that narcissist is scurrying about looking for a ghost writer to cook up stories and serve up his “autobiography”…!

Yeah, well, not everyone is a privileged entitled ruling regime PM or Minister or MP or party member - with kids abroad so no worries about school/ college - who can up & leave Delhi and expense it to the taxpayer…🙄

Mrs Sonia Gandhi’s autobiography is perhaps the first by an Indian leader, or any prominent Indian, that talks unabashedly about romantic love.
In a country & culture that either ignores or relegates love b/w a woman & man to the footnotes, this alone is worth celebrating! 💕

Maneka is being ignored , sitting quietly while her dead husband’s seat is going to Rajiv Gandhi . Sonia cannot speak in Hindi , English is Italian accent, wearing high fashion western clothes and looking coldly at Maneka as a lowly being . That time I remember , phoned were a luxury, dining tables were aspirational , eating mangoes with fork and knife was elite , we had power cuts while these ppl were living in airconditioned luxury . I think Priyanka Gandhi watches these videos to copy Indira Gandhi style
