One Can Be A Saintly Person Without Believing In God And A Detestable Villain Believing In Him. In My Personalized Religion, There Is No God! Khushwant Singh, Over The Decades, Has Built Up A Reputation For Coming Up With Something New And Controversial In Each Book, And He Does Not Disappoint His Readers This Time Too. He Begins With A Chapter On The Need For A New Religion Without God , In Which He Questions The Relevance Of God. He Then Moves On To Describe How Religion Has Proved To Be More Harmful Than Beneficial And, In The Process, Debunks Astrologers And The Breed Of So-Called Godmen .
However, He Is Not Dismissive Of Religion. Through His Lucid Writing, He Brings Out The Beauty And Significance Of Holy Books Such As The Bhagvad Gita, The Quran And The Granth Sahib. He Provides Relevant Extracts To Highlight The Poetry And The Music In Such Books. The Author Next Tries To Dispel The Prejudices Held By Many Non-Muslims Against Their Muslim Compatriots By Giving Down-To-Earth Examples. He Also Emphasizes The Importance Of The Ramzaan Fast. Khushwant Singh S Description Of The Life And Times Of Guru Nanak And Guru Gobind Singh And His In-Depth Analysis Of The Granth Sahib Throw New Light On A Particularly Troubled Period In India S History. The Chapter Devoted To The Interaction Of The Author (A Confirmed Agnostic) With The Dalai Lama (Probably The World S Most Renowned Spiritual Leader) Makes For Fascinating Reading. Here S One Book Containing A Wealth Of Knowledge And Information That You Would Want To Read Or Consult Again And Again.
Widely respected for his columns, his autobiography opens on the day Pakistan Resolution was passed in Lahore in 1940 and takes us on a journey through Indias story of a nation working on its foreign policy, development plans, relations with neighbouring countries, and dealing with coalition politics among others. From events of historical and political relevance like Tashkent Declaration and the 1971 war and the liberation of Bangladesh, to interviewing Zulfikar Ali Bhutto and Mujibur Rahman and from meeting Pakistans father of nuclear bomb, Dr A.Q. Khan, to his close association with Lal Bahadur Shastri and Jayaprakash Narayan, Nayars narrative is a detailed inside view of our nations past and present.
