Summary, etc. We Indians<br/>There is no better person than Khushwant Singh to place Indian character in the right perspective. He is<br/>objective and is not afraid of saying what many of us may not like. His criticisms are laced with humour<br/>and insights that delight as well as educate. In We Indians he discusses nearly all important aspects<br/>of Indian life: religion, morality, the characteristics of a Hindu, our love of wealth and power, corruption,<br/>flattery, our women, sex in Indian life, our relationship with the British and the Americans, etc. He brings a<br/>special fervour to these essays by his rare ability of effortless writing. Khushwant Singh was educated in Lahore and London<br/>where he was called to the bar. He joined the Indian Foreign Service and functioned as PRO in Ottawa and<br/>London till 1951. He shot to literary fame with his novel Train to Pakistan, and ever since has been<br/>among India's most controversial and widely read authors. He edited The Illustrated Weekly of India and<br/>The Hindustan Times during his distinguished journalistic career for many years.
