Meet the Author

Khushwant Singh (1915–2014) was a legendary Indian writer, diplomat, and journalist. He spent years teaching comparative religion at institutions like Princeton University. He is globally revered for his masterworks, including Train to Pakistan and his definitive two-volume academic work, A History of the Sikhs

Book Summary

- The highlight of this 272-page anthology is its expansive, autobiographical opening chapter, written in Singh's characteristically raw and honest style. This section serves as one of the most complete, transparent self-portraits the author has ever painted. Moving past personal memoirs, the subsequent chapters dive deep into his anguish over historical crises like the situation in Punjab, his profound understanding of natural ecosystems, and his deep-seated academic respect for theology and comparative religion, making it an essential read for anyone who appreciates unvarnished thought.
