Writer Biography/Profile: Khuswant Singh
Khuswant Singh was born in Hadali, a small village in the Punjab province of India in 1915. He grew up in the custody of his grandparents after his parents shifted to Delhi. His childhood reminiscences often crafted the themes and characters of his stories. He studied at Government College, Lahore and at King’s College and the Inner Temple in London.
Singh practised law in Lahore and after independence he joined the Indian Ministry of External Affairs as information officer in London. The official boredom drifted him to literary pursuing. The Mark of Vishnu (1950) acknowledged his authorship. Singh resigned his job and wrote the first historical account The Sikhs on the religiosity and ideology of his community. His most notable fiction Train to Pakistan was published in 1956. The story recounts the tale of a somnolent village named Mano Majra, apparently undisturbed by communal clashes. The village resembled a self-sufficient unity until the train from Pakistan laden with slain corpses of Hindus, Sikhs, refugees and militants shattered its peace and tranquillity.
Singh’s short spell of service for All India Radio in Delhi and UNESO in Paris was followed by his plotting for the novel I Shall Not Hear the Nightingale. He was then at the crossroads of professional juxtaposition of full-fledged writing and substantial living. The Rockefeller Foundation ascribed him the project of a collaborative research of Sikhs. A History of the Sikhs and university readership further opened writing avenues for him.
Singh became a Member of Parliament in 1980 and served there until 1986. He had been the editor of the Bombay-based Illustrated Weekly from 1969 to 1978. Singh’s novel Delhi had been written over a period of twenty year and was sold hugely. Singh is regarded as the most distinguished columnist and journalist. He is accredited with the publication of more than sixty books on history, politics, travel, jokes, translations and essays. Khuswant Singh was died on March 20, 2014 at 99 Years age.View or Read more Books of Khuswant Singh
