The author, one of India's most original thinkers, remained keenly engaged all his life with the nature of belief and faith; with God; and the many foibles- some significant, others laughable- of organised religion.
And after having intensely and extensively introspected on his own spirituality, the author evolved a personal credo everyone would do well to bear in mind- that human beings must work out their own religion as it best fits their lives.
This book brings together some of Khushwant Singh's most evocative writing that includes his explorations of the concepts of morality and reason; his unsparing skewering of the many customs and habits which masquerade as religion and faith; and recountings of the delightful encounters he had with the god women of his times.
