Without malice towards Khushwant Singh

Khushwant Singh, the grand old daddy of Indian journalism, is still standing tall and writing big at the ripe old age of 98. In a country presided over by a Sikh gentleman, and another overseeing the working of the Planning Commission, Khushwant Singh is one of the most recognizable Sikh faces in not just India, but the world.

I recently finished reading a collection of Khushwant Singh's essays and profiles (Why I Supported the Emergency: Essays and Profiles), and my word, I was blown away. In a media world filled with hypocrites and writers with views as fickle as a hysterical female, Khushwant Singh serves a reminder that honest and unbiased writing still exists.
