In The Name Of The Father is Rahul Singh's biography of the 'Sex,Scotch and Scholarship' icon of India - his father, Khushwant Singh. From schoolthrough college, the 'not a nice man to know' distinguished himself more as aprankster and a tennis pro than as a student. A turbulent courtship with thebeautiful Kaval Malik culminated in marriage. The Lahore High Court plagued with'touts' was traded for diplomatic postings in England and Canada. A stint at theUNESCO in Paris followed. Much to the disappointment of his father, Sir SobhaSingh, he cut short a diplomatic career for an assignment with All India Radio.An outstanding journalist and columnist, Khushwant Singh has earned respect and'malice' in equal measure. An accomplished historian and novelist, he returnedthe Padma Bhushan in protest against Operation Blue Star. He was a Member ofParliament from 1980 to 1986. This book is also a tribute to afather who helped out with love, and 'an occasional bottle of rum'.
