November 10, 2026 A memoir bysenior Congress leader and former party president Sonia Gandhi went on sale on Tuesday, with its pages offering a rare insight by the private politician into how she came from humble Italian origins and went on to become the matriarch of India's most powerful political dynasty — the Nehru-Gandhi family.
这本书名为《归属:一段爱的旅程》,由哈珀柯林斯印度公司出版。
The book called "Belonging: A Journey of Love" has been published by HarperCollins India.
“关于我的家人已经有很多文章,但很少有文章真正洞察他们是谁、他们的动机、他们的挣扎,以及他们非常人性的缺陷。我想诚实地描绘他们,作为我认识和爱的人,”79岁的甘地本周早些时候在《印度教徒报》上写道。索尼娅·甘地是谁?
"Much has been written about my family, but rarely with real insight into who they were, their motivations, their struggles, their very human flaws. I wanted to portray them honestly, as people I knew and loved," 79-year-old Gandhi wrote in The Hindu daily newspaper earlier this week. Who is Sonia Gandhi?
索尼娅·甘地1946年出生于意大利维琴察附近的一个小村庄,原名索尼娅·迈诺,她在英国剑桥市的一家餐馆里遇到了拉吉夫·甘地——印度第一任总理贾瓦哈拉尔·尼赫鲁的孙子。
Born Sonia Maino in 1946 in a small Italian village near Vicenza, she met Rajiv Gandhi — the grandson of India's first Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru — at a restaurant in the United Kingdom's Cambridge city.
两人于1968年在新德里结婚,当时拉吉夫的母亲、尼赫鲁的女儿英迪拉·甘地正担任印度总理。
The two got married in New Delhi in 1968, when Rajiv's mother and Nehru's daughter Indira Gandhi was serving as India's prime minister.
将近二十年后,索尼娅在1984年一起暗杀事件后,发现自己正抱着浑身是血、垂死的婆婆。英迪拉的保镖开枪将她击毙,是为了报复她镇压一场起义,这场起义最终导致一次名为“蓝星行动”的军事进攻,目标是锡克教最神圣的圣地金庙。
Nearly two decades later, Sonia would find herself holding her bloodied and dying mother-in-law in her arms following a 1984 assassination that saw Indira's bodyguards shoot her to avenge her suppression of an insurgency that culminated in an army assault, called Operation Blue Star, on the holiest Sikh shrine, the Golden Temple.
索尼娅的丈夫拉吉夫·甘地是一名飞行员,在母亲去世后被推入政坛,40岁时成为印度最年轻的总理。他也于1991年在一起自杀式爆炸中遇刺身亡。索尼娅·甘地后来进入政坛,成为国大党任职时间最长的党主席。
Sonia's husband Rajiv Gandhi, a pilot who was propelled into politics after his mother's death, became India's youngest prime minister at 40 years old. He too was assassinated in a suicide bombing in 1991. Sonia Gandhi later entered politics, going on to become the longest-serving president of the Congress party.
索尼娅·甘地的新书揭示印度政治影响力巨大的尼赫鲁—甘地家族 尼赫鲁—甘地家族为印度培养了三位总理。在她的新书中,索尼娅·甘地谈及自己2004年决定不担任世界上最大民主国家总理一职的事。
Sonia Gandhi's book sheds light on India's politically influential Nehru-Gandhi family The Nehru-Gandhi family gave India three prime ministers. In her book Sonia Gandhi talks about her 2004 decision to not take up the top job as prime minister of the world's largest democracy.
在《印度快报》刊登的书摘中,索尼娅说,她的孩子们——如今的国大党高级领导人普里扬卡·甘地·瓦德拉和反对党领袖拉胡尔·甘地——当时曾与她讨论过她母亲可能担任总理一事。
In an excerpt from her book, published in The Indian Express, Sonia said her children — and now senior Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra and leader of opposition Rahul Gandhi — had then discussed with her, their mother's possible prime ministership.
书摘写道:“其中一个人直截了当地问我,万一我们的党赢得选举,我是否会接受这个职位。‘绝对不会,’我几乎是愤愤不平地说。”
"One of them asked me straight out whether I would accept the post, just in case our party pulled off a victory. 'Absolutely not' I'd said, almost indignantly,' the excerpt read. "Neither Rahul nor Priyanka felt that I should become prime minister.
“拉胡尔和普里扬卡都不认为我应该担任总理。他们经历过祖母遇刺和父亲惨遭谋杀的创伤。在他们心中,担任那个职位与更高的危险息息相关。他们说完后看起来松了一口气,而我,第一次就这个问题公开表达自己的观点,也感到轻松了些,”索尼娅写道。
They'd lived through the trauma of their grandmother's assassination and the brutal murder of their father. In their minds, holding that office was intrinsically linked with heightened danger. They looked relieved and I, too, felt lighter, having said my views out loud on the question for the first time," Sonia writes.
执政党人民党指责索尼娅·甘地“美化历史”索尼娅·甘地表示,她的回忆录不是“政治书”,而是“个人”著作。

But with the Tuesday launch, the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) of Prime Minister Narendra Modi attacked the Congress veteran.
人民党全国发言人C·R·凯萨万说,索尼娅·甘地应该把书名定为“美化历史”,他指责这本回忆录“美化了尼赫鲁—甘地家族犯下的历史错误”。该书的发布正值国大党试图在对抗人民党的过程中重新夺回阵地之际,索尼娅的儿子拉胡尔·甘地在过去一个月里,通过一系列抗议活动团结印度的反对派政党。
BJP National spokesperson C R Kesavan said that Sonia Gandhi should have named her book "whitewashing" as he accused the memoir of "sugar coating the historical wrongs perpetrated by the Nehru-Gandhi family." The book has also been released at a time when the Congress party looks to regain ground against the BJP, with Sonia's son Rahul Gandhi rallying India's opposition parties in a series of protests over the last month.
