The Big Fat Joke Book: Hilarious, Bold and Witty Jokes on Life, Society and Politics by India’s Beloved Humorist, Khushwant Singh
Khushwant Singh has long occupied a rare place in Indian letters, a writer whose sharp wit and cheerful irreverence made him genuinely beloved. This collection gathers the strongest material from his vast comic catalogue, spanning cheeky observations on sex, pointed jabs at political life, and jokes about God that would make the pious squirm. It's bold stuff. Singh never shied away from the provocative, and that willingness to court mild outrage is precisely what gives his humour its bite. Short, punchy, and occasionally quite rude, the jokes here reflect a man who understood that laughter at society's absurdities is one of the more honest responses available to us. You'll find plenty here to quote at dinner tables, and probably one or two you'd think twice about repeating in polite company.
