Khushwant Singh's last big public interaction

In December 2009, Khushwant Singh appeared on an episode of 'On the Counch with Koel', the first episode in the series which was held in front of a public audience. This was Khushwant Singh's last big public interaction. Khushwant Singh said that of the many people he had never expected to ring his doorbell was the former President Dr.APJ Abdul Kalam.

Whatever people may say about him, Sardar Khushwant Singh was someone the like of him we shall never see again. He was simple, down to earth, had immense knowledge about nature, about literature, about politics, and above all, about people. He started as a lawyer because his father wanted him to be a building contractor which Mr Khushwant Singh detested, and then moved into a writer. He proved his mettle as an editor of magazines and newspapers. I had the privilege of meeting him on a few occasions when I was only a lowly staff of an organization, but he didn't show any condescension and talked to me as an equal. The most down-to-earth person one would see in life. A true Sardar, a true Sikh, who believed in equality of all. I consider him as my guru, like the other ten gurus that we Sikhs have. I bow to his memory and hope he has his Scotch every evening like I have today since I'm still alive. Ajaib Singh Kochar

[@zulfiqarahmad8757]

The lady couldn't contain her hatred. against Pakistan and called Khushwant dichotomous that was totally incorrect and unwarranted.

Looks like Indian Bukowski

He called out Godi Media while on their interview 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@waqasahmed7655]

god is uncreated. for example we think that god made every thing but who made god? suppose someone says then who made god and suppose some one says ' god is made by another bigger god... so who made that bigger god, suppose another biggest god.. so if we keep going back, the answer is bigger n bigger god but at lastttt we have to stop on the last god. who must be uncreated. because our existence and such a perfect and profound system in this universe is proving that there is wise being up there who tunned this universe in a perfect manner. as we know that god is telling human beings from thousands of yrs that " i am one and only. i have no sons and parents. almost every religious book from thousands of yrs saying the same thing that' god is one. realistically god does not need sons or helpers .. so is one god and always be one.. he will not produce sons(other gods) to run this universe. cos he is god this universe is small piece of dust for him. he can manage every thing. so there is no doubt that he is one and only and he is from for ever. khudhwant has same thinking as some people have, they think that they will only believe go if he comes to this world n they see him and experience his power and god answers their every question. but god has made us the only speciy which has very powerful brain and our understanding level is much much higher than the other animals. god gave us this brain to think and analyze. if real god comes to earth no body will deny him. they will never disobey him because of his might n power... so we would have acted like robots. god gave us brain and free will to recognise him and right o wrong. we have to find god through this extra ordinary brain power. i hope , i answered khushwants singhs question.

Sardar was a recent hindu. His juri moustache,+beard need to be amended by pundit choti.

[@nikikaurkhalsa]

I don't know why the person who is interviewing has to scream in to Mr. khushwant singh's ear to ask him questions! she is annoying!

[@asadali2311]

Niki Kalia he had a hearing problem. That's why.

[@shivamsharma9225]

@15:13 he said ' I can't hear very well"

[@guruword8378]

if he doesn't believe in god then he is not a Sikh and should remove his turban and stop acting like a Sikh and his arguments for there being no god can be answered and it is his misunderstanding of at least what Sikhs say if not other religions and bhindranwale was not preaching hatred but rights and justice

[@guruword8378]

***** he even admits he doesn't

[@guruword8378]

+harmansingh bains I am a Sikh he falsely represents the Sikh community

[@guruword8378]

***** if you are not a Sikh then you disregard the Sikh turban which represents the Sikh community which khushant singh was not

[@sukh2k]
