Sonia Gandhi, the former president of the Indian National Congress, has officially joined the social media platform Instagram. Her debut on the platform was marked by the release of a video clip in which she discusses her forthcoming memoir, 'Belonging'.

In the video, Gandhi is seen interacting with her daughter, Priyanka Gandhi Vadra. While leafing through the pages of the book, Gandhi remarks on the inclusion of numerous photographs, noting, "lots of pictures, Priyanka," as she presents the volume to her daughter. The memoir is expected to provide a personal look into her life and experiences.

While the platform debut has generated interest among followers and political observers, the primary focus of the initial content remains the promotion of her literary work. There are no reports of political commentary or policy statements accompanying the launch at this time. The move marks a shift in how the veteran politician engages with the public, utilizing a visual-heavy social media medium to reach a broader, potentially younger audience as she prepares for the book's release.
