Khushwant Singh donned many a cap over the course of his life. After beginning his career as a lawyer in Lahore, Singh would go on to become a journalist, a diplomat, and even a politician.

While his death came at the ripe old age of 98, Singh’s acidic wit, caustic humour and skillful way with words left an impact on people that will stay beyond his time.

This is a previously unpublished interview with Khushwant Singh that was recorded in 2009 by Dr. Kiran Bala, just after Singh turned 94.

Producer: Vishnu Gopinath
