Truth, Love And A Little Malice, the autobiography of the famous author and journalist Khushwant Singh, was published by Penguin India as new edition in 2003. He chronicles in this book some of the seminal historical and political events that have marked the Indian socio-political scene in his lifetime, i.e. since 1915. Crucial amongst these events are the Partition of India, the Emergency and Operation Blue Star, all of which have influenced and shaped the lives of Indians, and particularly that of Sikhs (the community that he belongs to), in very specific and tangible ways.

However, what makes Singh’s autobiography unique is that he shared personal and professional equations with many eminent personalities throughout his life, which includes the leaders of the country. His insightful, witty, and irreverent recollection of several incidents in the lives of those personalities, as well as in his own, makes this book a read that is as voyeuristic and controversial as its author.

Alongside the glamorous encounters and anecdotes are some of the most personal and unadulterated truths from Singh’s own life. Through this book, we discover about his somewhat rocky relationship with his wife, his first sexual encounter, the pitfalls and achievements in his professional career, and his overwhelming sense, at age 85, that death was just around the corner. Truth, Love And A Little Malice is available in paperback.

Key Features:

Read all about the complex, fascinating and glamorous life of Khushwant Singh in his own inimitable style of writing in his self-proclaimed swansong.

"Truth, Love & A Little Malice" is a compelling literary journey that delves into the intricacies of human relationships, revealing the delicate balance between honesty and affection.

Likeable Old Man from Delhi!

Reviewed in India on 8 August 2015

Verified Purchase

Truth, Love and a Little Malice is the autobiography of the late Mr. Khushwant Singh. Mr K.S is a prolific writer, Journalist, Diplomat, One-term Member of Parliament (Upper House), and a Lawyer ( a bad one, in his view). He is better known as “The Dirty Old-man of Delhi” for his jokes and provocative fictional writings like “The Company of Woman”. His fictional works might reinforce the image of “The Dirty Old-man of Delhi” especially borderline-erotica like “Delhi”, “The Company of Woman”. His fictional work didn’t strike a chord with me and haven’t properly read a K.S book until now. But since his passing in 2014, I developed an interest in K.S and his work especially after watching one of his old interview. I decided to read his auto-biography and I’m glad that I did.

K.S was born into a wealthy Sikh family in Hadali, West Punjab. K.S takes us through his remarkable life of an Upper-class Indian under the British-Raj. He also shares many anecdotes about eminent personalities of his time and his friendship, feuds with his famous friends/frenemies.

I was expecting a serious introspective analysis of his life and times since he is an esteemed writer/journalist but the work turns out to be a light-hearted, funny, at times superficial nonetheless entertaining. K.S comes across as a likeable, friendly, honest person who doesn’t take himself seriously. He is also a bit of a tattletale who doesn’t mind to drop names and his honest opinion of them.

I really had a good time reading it. Looking forward to read his other works.

a very good autobiography

Reviewed in India on 22 November 2014

sir
Mr khushwant sigh^s autobiography is fully truthful simple and lucid language. I am his follower and fan since my college days when he became Editor of Illustrated Weekly of India in year 1969. Then the war with Pakistan has broken out in 1971 and he covered it very immensely. and extensively. After the war he published war stories in many issues and extensively covered Pakistan. He covered the misdeeds of General Yahya Khan by writing ^The women who destroyed Pakistan, he published the issues of Pakistani prisoners,published interview of General Tikka Khan. The Pakistan was his forte. I followed him like a snake and unfortunately he was dismissed by Times Of India management, and after his departure it did not wrote two lines in his honor It was really sad.. He went to National Herald, and then to New Delhi and lastly to The Hindustan Times. It was clear that he did not enjoy freedom of press that is found in England and other Western Countries. He did not loose heart and did what his soul felt. He wrote obituaries of many men of repute truthfully and criticized even great men. I have been reading him continually and half of the tale is already told earlier. The Penguin India has done right thing to publish his autobiography., as some publishers commit serious mistakes in fact and language. I was reading a book published by Rupa ^Naulakha by Rudyard Kipling and date of Novel Prize to him was given as 1970, while Kipling died in 1936, I don't know if they now corrected or not. The Penguin has some standard and there is no such thing. I purchased ^ Return of the King^ and date of death was given of Mr Auckland Governor General to be 1899 while he died in 1849 while i consulted British Edition it was correct.He was good writer f English Language in India and has so many books to his credit. It would be almost a year to his death but he would remain in the minds of his lovers.

I had never read Khushwant Singh in his lifetime of 99 years but was curious to read his books since his death recently. Turned out I had a number of his books at home. I picked this autobiography that he wrote in 2002. It is an engaging book, written in an honest style that traces his birth in pre-independence India, his privileged upbringing as a Delhi builder's son, his deep curiosity for the opposite sex, the many people he encountered in his long life ( he remembers anecdotal stories in great detail), his career in govt, how he turned to become a writer & his tryst with the Gandhis & his views on life, dying, being agonistic yet identifying with his Sikh culture, his thoughts on who his parents were, his relationship with his wife ( despite their differences, they kept their marriage right to the end). His life was rich in encounters & experiences, he highlights his own flaws, miscalculations. I found the experience of his book humbling & his candour refreshing.

Khushwant Singh's Truth and Malice

Reviewed in India on 17 July 2014

Verified Purchase

Khushwant Singh was (is) the most the readable Indian English writer as long as you do not take him too seriously. His autobiography was a very pleasant read for me this Indian summer. One could critique it many counts such as not providing more depth and coverage to some of the more historic events which occurred during his life and he was a close observer as well as close to many of the participants in these events. It was an entertaining few hours for me. While I assume that most of the truth in his book was true, the malice he dished out to friends foe alike provided fun to the reader.

Khushwant died a few months ago. looking at his old interviews on tv made me scroll youtube and see more of him. I chose his autobiography to be read before I read train to pakistan. I could not stop reading the next line. His sense of humor is impeccable. I laughed, smiled, felt sad while reading this book. It is full of emotion; by emotion I refer every kind of emotion. I felt like watching an excellent 90 year long movie.
Overall, a must read book.

Worth a read!

Reviewed in the United States on 8 August 2011

An honest novel. Kushwanth singh novels always appealed readers. His writing style has been the most compelling. He talks about his childhood memories, first sexual encounter, his wife and his life at various news agencies. He also talks about his relationship with the Gandhi's. This book is infact a tribute to all the relationships he had created over a period of 80 odd years which includes his relationship with his dog .

Kushwant Singh, as people believe,has the best sense of humour, this book does live up to it. Must read if you are an indian, not for patriotism, but there are many things that you could relate to. Worth a read!!!
