Its a great lost to journalistic world in India with the sad demise of one of the most active brain at the age of 99 years today. Yes the grand old man Mr. Khushwant Singh is no more.
He was no nonsense writer & journalist. Was editor of many news & literary magazines but become popular amongst many of its reader world over as editor of 'the Illustrated Weekly of India, the Hindustan Times & the National Herald' during 70's till 80's.
He dared to criticized late Indira Gandhi and also protested by returning his decoration Padma Bhushan against raid at the Golden Temple in Amritsar by security forces.
As a common reader I will miss his write ups in Indian journal.
