Truly Saptarshi

This man claimed to be an atheist but then when the Indian army raided the Golden Temple, he had burst out and returned his Padma Bhushan in protest of the incident. Had been a very secular thinking person but had studied and written about Sikhism in depth and had criticized all religious believes majorly often barring Sikhism for some unknown reason or a very simple reason which goes without saying that he was a Sikh at heart. But above everything else he was a man of substance, a man whose writings were delight indeed and literary pleasure. Khushwant Singh and Amitav Ghosh were the two men holding whose hands i came to the world of adult literature.

Its high time that we (men and women) start respecting women truly for what they are. Especially women should start respecting one another because unless they understand and stand for one another, no one can help them. All men should start understanding that real men do not need to prove their manline...
