Book Summary:

Absolute Khushwant by Khushwant Singh is a candid and engaging memoir that offers an intimate glimpse into the life, thoughts, and beliefs of one of India’s most iconic writers and journalists. Written in conversation with Humra Quraishi, the book covers a wide range of topics including religion, politics, sex, death, and Singh’s own experiences with aging. With his trademark wit, honesty, and irreverence, Khushwant reflects on his personal journey, from his early days as a lawyer and diplomat to his literary career and controversial editorial stances. He speaks openly about his opinions on God, communalism, the Partition, and the role of religion in society. At its core, the book is a reflection of a man unafraid to speak his mind, offering sharp insights, humorous anecdotes, and a no-holds-barred perspective on life, love, and India.

About The Author:

Khushwant Singh was one of India’s most prominent and provocative writers, journalists, and public intellectuals. Born in 1915 in Hadali (now in Pakistan), he was educated at Government College, Lahore, and later at King’s College London and the Inner Temple. He began his career as a lawyer and diplomat but found his true calling in writing. Known for his sharp wit, fearless commentary, and secular outlook, Singh authored numerous novels, short stories, and essays, with Train to Pakistan being one of his most acclaimed works. He also served as the editor of major publications like The Illustrated Weekly of India and Hindustan Times. Over his long literary and journalistic career, he became known for tackling taboo subjects, criticizing political hypocrisy, and celebrating humanism. Awarded the Padma Bhushan in 1974 (which he returned in protest) and later the Padma Vibhushan in 2007, Singh remained a candid and influential voice in Indian public life until his death in 2014 at the age of 99.
