Summary:
Khushwant Singh is a well known figure in India, his columns are one of the most read. Famous for his caustic remarks directed at public figures, cultures and traditions. He is well known in the Delhi social circle and a mentor for young and old alike. At the sunset of his journey, he reaches for equinox as he tries to bridge the sanity with insanity related to the understanding of God. He tries to raise eyebrows with the tongue-in-cheek title; however, the book is written with an intention of simplifying the philosophy behind all things that surround the knowledge pertaining to God in this physical world.
It takes on your beliefs with a firm hand of logic and reasoning as it questions the organized religion and its flaws. The harm the religion has done to the world and continues to do so with intentions subjugated by greed for expansion or segregation of population. The complexity of God worship is elaborately dealt with as he rejects the ritualistic monotony and questions the authority of the self-proclaimed God-men. Meanwhile, he underlines the beauty and serenity of the holy texts propagating Universal wisdom i.e. The Bhagavad Gita, The Holy Quran and The Granth Sahib.
If you are a non-believer then the book Agnostic Khushwant: There Is No God!, makes you rise above the sentimental disharmony of an agnostic to become a more aware person who still can be an agnostic and to a believer this book is a cure for the illusory notions that he might carry conforming to the popular beliefs. This book will get you in touch with the God within and dispels the myth surrounding the one sitting over the clouds in Heaven.
Review:
Khushwant Singh has come up with a book that was long due, a book on belief of God and all that it ensues. There was no better person to attempt to write this book than Khushwant Singh himself, the torch bearer of intellectualism in the age of diminishing of minds caused due to the commoditization of humanity. The book highlights the point that 'God cannot be reduced to concepts'. The author has explored his agnosticism not with contempt to God but with an insight that touches the depths of your understanding. The dogmas have been set on fire by the clarity of thinking. The author bursts the bubble of blind worshipping of God with a more powerful weapon than required.
