Khushwant Singh's Joke Book
Khushwant Singh, humorist, racounteur, editor, short-story writer, novelist, commentator, has earned a new accolade - "the master spinner of jokes." He has been clubbed together with Birbal, Tenali Raman and Gopal Bhore as one of India's all time great humourists. His ability to make Indians laugh at themselves, and at their own foibles, has earned him a readership and fan following that is unparalleled. As India's best known journalist and syndicated columnist, he is admired and lambasted in equal measure because of his often irreverent and controversial views. However, even his staunchest critics agree that he is eminently readable Born in 1915, Khushwant Singh received his education in Lahore, Delhi and London. After a brief law practice at Lahore High Court and a stint with the Ministry of External Affairss, he shot to literary fame with his award-winning novel Train to Pakistan and the two-volumed History of the Sikhs. He distinguished himself as editor of the Illustrated Weekly of India (1969-1979), and the Hindustan Times (1980-1983).
