Answer: Khushwant Singh is a prominent Indian novelist and journalist. Singh's weekly column, "With Malice towards One and All", carried by several Indian newspapers, is among the most widely-read columns in the country. An important Indo-Anglian novelist, Singh is best known for his trenchant secularism, his humor, and an abiding love of poetry. His comparisons of social and behavioral characteristics of Westerners and Indians are laced with acid wit. He served as editor of several well-known literary and news magazines, as well as two major broadsheet newspapers, through the 1970s and 1980s. He studied at Modern School in Daryaganj [now school's location is Barakamba Road, Delhi]. The school's principal was Kamla Bose. Unlike most other boys in the school, Khushwant Singh came from a village background and did not know English. At his school, Urdu was also taught.
