Indiaclub.com Description

Volume – One

The trouble with us Indians is that while we like laughing at others we cannot laugh at ourselves. However we do enjoy humorous writings, says the author. This big mega seller bears witness to this testimony. This book is a masala mix of desi buffoonery, political jibes, communication gaffes, social blunders...

Volume – Two

Khushwant Singh is at his best when poking fun at Indians. There are dozens of Sardarji jokes, all of them charmingly told… and many quite delightful ones on Pakistan.

Witty, ribald, hilarious... No string of adjectives would suffice to describe this selection by the wittiest Sardarji of them all, and designed to give the reader a pain in the belly.

About the Author

Khushwant Singh was born in 1915 in Hadali, Punjab. He was educated at Government College, Lahore, and at King's College and the Inner Temple in London. He practiced at the Lahore High Court for several years before joining the Indian Ministry of External Affairs in 19477. He was sent on diplomatic postings to Canada and London and later went to Paris with UNESCO>

He began a distinguished career as a journalist with All India Radio in 1951. Since then he has been founder-editor of Yojna, editor of the Illustrated Weekly of India, editor of the National Herald, and the editor of The Hindustan Times. Today he is India's best known columnist and journalist.

Khushwant Singh has also had an extremely successful career as a writer. Among the works published are classic two-volume history of the Sikhs, several novels - including Train to Pakistan, which won the Grove Press Award for the best work of fiction in 1954, I Shall Not Hear the Nightingale and Delhi - and a number of translated works and non-fiction books on Delhi, nature, and current affairs. His latest novel, The Company of Women, has since been released.

Khushwant Singh was a Member of Parliament from 1980 to 1986. Among other honors he was awarded the Padma Bhushan in 1974 by the President of India. He returned this decoration in 1984 in protest against the Union Government's siege of the Golden Temple, Amritsar.
