Sonia Gandhi's memoir, titled 'Belonging', is set to be published by HarperCollins in India on November 10. The book was initially slated for release through Penguin Random House India, which withdrew from the project due to disagreements concerning the manuscript, as reported by The Hindu.

On August 28, Penguin Random House India announced that it would not be the publisher of Gandhi's memoir, leading to the subsequent involvement of HarperCollins. The specifics of the differences that led to Penguin's withdrawal have not been detailed in the reports.

HarperCollins stepping in to publish 'Belonging' adds a notable entry to the landscape of political literature in India, with the memoir being one of the most anticipated political books in recent years, as noted by The Independent.
