  • Description

    Khushwant Singh was a man who had the opportunity of meeting and talking to many British Sahibs who came to India who were very appreciative of the country. They all had their share of beautiful experiences in the country. This book is a record of those fond memories.

    Summary of the Book

    The book consists of writings that were collected by Khushwant Singh during his time as the editor of the Illustrated Weekly of India. All the writings reveal the deep respect and love that many important Britons have for India. It gives us an amusing display of British attitudes, experiences, observations and fond memories.

    About Khushwant Singh

    Khushwant Singh was an Anglo-Indian writer, advocate, politician and journalist. A Padma Vibhushan awardee, Mr. Singh is best remembered for his humour, love of poetry and his vigourous treatment of secularism in his writings, most evident in: The Company of Women, Truth, Love and a Little Malice, With Malice towards One and All, The Mark of Vishnu and Other Stories and Delhi: A Novel.
    A graduate of Government College, Lahore, St. Stephen's College in Delhi and King's College London, he read for the Bar at the Inner Temple and served as a practicing lawyer for nearly fifteen years before entering journalism. He has worked with the Illustrated Weekly of India, The National Herald and Hindustan Times. A prolific writer, Mr. Singh wrote till the grand old age of 99, releasing his last work The Good, The Bad and The Ridiculous a few months before his passing in March 2014.

    Good...but the extracts tend to get monotonous and repititive.

    People who are genuinely interested in the independence era India can take it. Its good. But please dont expect to get enlightened in the process. Also the role of khushwant singh is for namesake. He has not contributed any article. He was only the chief editor of the illustrated weekly of india when these articles got published in it.
