A good insight into Punjabi culture
A must read for those who want a a brief overview of Punjabi culture and the impact it has on India. Being my first Kushwant Singh book which I read, I am intrigued to explore more of his work. The writing is crisp, coherent and provides a lot of insights into how the author views Punjabi contribution to Indian culture.
