Before seeking shelter on the Indian side of the border during Partition, Khushwant Singh was leading a life of luxury and splendour in Lahore, entertaining friends who were writers and artists, and art critics, starting a literary circle (which is how Singh’s literary career was born), and drinking (mostly Indian-brewed liquor).

Not many Indians believed that the British would willingly relinquish their Empire in India but Singh knew that his days in Lahore were definitely coming to an end.

Read on, as Singh describes the horrors he witnessed during the run-up to Independence, a stark contrast to the life he was leading mere months before.
