Khushwant Singh's Joke Book 3
O tej e-knjigi
Another super collection of naughty and not-so-naughty jokes, humorous anecdotes, comic interludes, hilarious situations and bitchy remarks, selected by Khushwant Singh from amongst the thousands contributed by his readers and fans — and some manufactured by him. All dedicated to getting the humorless Indians to smile and to laugh.
His earlier collection of jokes, Khushwant Singh’s Joke Book and Khushwant Singh’ s Joke Book II nave both been runaway bestsellers having sold over 80,000 copies, a rare phenomenon in Indian publishing. They were widely hailed for “poking fun at Indians and lampooning politicians.” One reviewer paid a rich compliment by describing the books as “designed with malice towards one and all and to give the reader a pain in the belly.”

Khushwant Singh, author and journalist, was born in Punjab in 1915. He was educated at Government College, Lahore, St. Stephen’s College, Delhi, Kings College and the Inner Temple in London. He practiced briefly at the Lahore High Court before joining the Ministry of External Affairs. He shot to literary fame with his award winning novel Train to Pakistan and the two-volumes History of the Sikhs. Subsequently, he edited The Illustrated Weekly of India (1969-1979), New Delhi (1979-1980) and The Hindustan Times (1980-1983) with great distinction. He was a Member of the Parliament from 1980 to 1986. Today as India’s best known journalist and widely read syndicated columnist, he enjoys the unenviable reputation of “holding a mirror to our face... of being frank, but not venomous, fearless but not intimidating.” According to India Today, “Khushwant Singh remains perhaps the most spontaneous commentator and racounteur and has provided Indian journalism with some of its most relaxed, tongue-in-cheek writing.”
