Known for his sharp wit and fearless honesty, Singh presents himself as an agnostic—someone who does not deny the existence of God but refuses to accept it without evidence. Through personal anecdotes, philosophical musings, and critiques of organized religion, he questions blind faith, religious dogma, and the misuse of religion in society. Co-authored and curated by Ashok Chopra, the book also includes interactions and reflections that give insight into Singh’s intellectual journey, his respect for ethical living, and his belief in humanism over ritual. It’s a candid, often humorous, and deeply reflective work that challenges readers to think independently about faith and reason.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"998\" data-end=\"1915\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"998\" data-end=\"1037\"\u003eAbout the Author – \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1037\" data-end=\"1040\"\u003eKhushwant Singh (1915–2014) was one of India’s most prominent and provocative writers, journalists, and public intellectuals.
