{"product_id":"the-good-the-bad-and-khushwant-singh-9788129124432","title":"The Good, the Bad and the Ridiculous: Profiles","description":"In the course of almost a century of living, Khushwant Singh has been witness to the making of more public and private histories than most of us have read about. He has encountered, and frequently crossed swords with, many of the men and women who have been central to these histories-and he has written about them with glorious candour. This collection brings together the very best of these pen portraits, some of which have never before appeared in a book. Among those profiled are Jawaharlal Nehru, Krishna Menon, Indira Gandhi, Sanjay Gandhi, Amrita Sher-Gil, Begum Para, Muhammad Ali Jinnah, M.S. Golwalkar, Mother Teresa, Faiz Ahmad Faiz, Dhirendra Brahmachari, Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale, General Tikka Khan, Phoolan Devi, Giani Zail Singh and Bhagat Puran Singh. Insightful, provocative and unabashedly entertaining, The Good, the Bad and the Ridiculous is, in many ways, an intimate, irreverent modern history of the subcontinent by one of India's most celebrated literary and cultural icons.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Khushwant Singh\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 8129124432\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9788129124432\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Rupa Publications India\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/01\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 220\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.54lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.00w x 0.50d","brand":"Khushwant Singh","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44201977413887,"sku":"9788129124432","price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_bfe4b037-e9e0-4daa-b96b-207365f2c2d6.jpg?v=1691492519","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-good-the-bad-and-khushwant-singh-9788129124432","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
