'I'd quake in my seat': Sonia recalls Indira's temper, early days as bride in memoir

Sonia Gandhis memoir, Belonging: A Journey of Love, offers an intimate account of Indira Gandhis temper, recalling how staff were made to stand in corners, a senior Congress leader ordered to face a wall and others ignored for days. Sonia also describes Rajivs reassurance during her mother-in-laws outbursts, Indiras domestic routines, love for sarees and photographs, and how grandchildren gradually softened her temperament.
