Absolute Khushwant by Khushwant singh with Humra Quraishi (Author)

Khushwant Singh, one of the great icons of our time, passed away at the age of 95. He was a man of contradictions, an agnostic who was well-versed in the holy scriptures, a vocal champion of free speech who supported the Emergency, and a "dirty old man" who saw "the world in a grain of sand and beauty in a wild flower."
Born in 1915 in pre-Partition Punjab, Khushwant Singh witnessed almost all the major events in modern Indian history and knew most of the figures who shaped it. In a career spanning over six decades as a writer, editor, and journalist, his views were provocative and controversial, but they were also profound, deeply perceptive, and always compelling.
In his book Absolute Khushwant, Singh tells us about his life, his loves, and his work. He writes on happiness, faith, and honesty. And, for the first time, about his successes and failures, his strengths and weaknesses, his highs and lows. He tells us what makes him tick and the secret of his longevity; he confesses his deepest fears and what he holds dear. He writes about sex, marriage, worship, and death; the people he's admired and detested. With personal anecdotes and rare photographs, Absolute Khushwant is uncompromising, moving, and straight from the heart.
