Penguin Says It Is Not Publishing Sonia Gandhi's Book 'Belonging', Was Keen To
· Entertainment · NDTV
Penguin Random House India has said it is not publishing Congress leader Sonia Gandhi's book 'Belonging', even though it was keen to do so. The statement comes amid reports that the publisher backed out after Sonia Gandhi refused certain 'editorial' changes. The nature of the disputed edits, the stage at which talks collapsed, and which party initiated the break remain unclear. Sonia Gandhi has not publicly commented on the matter. The book was being positioned as a personal-political account tied to her life and years in public life, though the exact scope and publication status are yet to be confirmed by either side.
Why it matters
The dispute touches on editorial independence at one of India's largest publishers and raises questions about the line between authorial control and publisher demands for a politically sensitive memoir ahead of any release.
