About the author

Khushwant Singh, novelist, storywriter, historian, editor, essayist and translator, was one of the best known contemporary writers of the Indian subcontinent.

Though his mother-tongue was Punjabi and he was culturally more aligned to Urdu, he chose to write in English but remained soaked in Punjabi, Urdu and European literature throughout his life. He was also equally prolific in translations. He read much, and translated much of what he enjoyed.
