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