ABOUT THE BOOK

Big Book Of Malice by Khushwant Singh

Big Book Of Malice full book reading time: ~3.74 hrs at average pace, ~ 1.87 hrs fast

"When humor turns savage, truth laughs the loudest."

Big Book of Malice is a scathing, fearless, and wildly entertaining collection of Khushwant Singh’s most outrageous writings. With his trademark irreverence, Singh skewers politicians, pokes fun at godmen, ridicules hypocrisy, and pulls no punches—especially when society seems desperate to maintain appearances.

This isn’t just a book of jokes. It’s a literary weapon. Singh’s malice is never mindless; it’s intelligent, pointed, and deeply informed. His essays, short pieces, and satirical columns collected here may make you uncomfortable—but they’ll definitely make you think. He goes after religious dogma, political pretenders, and even himself, with equal intensity. No sacred cow is spared.

Behind the humor lies a razor-sharp mind and a deep understanding of India’s social and political psyche. Singh uses wit as a scalpel, dissecting everything from censorship to corruption, nationalism to morality, with shocking candor and sparkling prose.

If you enjoy literature that isn't afraid to be controversial, if you believe laughter can be a form of resistance, or if you just need a break from the overly sanitized, Big Book of Malice is your fix.

And best of all? You can download it right now on Bookdio as a free pdf download, or grab the free books download version—no filter, no price tag, and definitely no apologies.
