If you are looking for answers to eternal questions like which came first – love or lust – or debates pertaining to celibacy, chastity or arranged marriages, Khushwant Singh delivers his expose on such intimate matters within the pages of this volume. Whether he is analysing the fine dividing line between obscenity, pornography and erotica, his description of sex from ‘Chaturbhani’ (200-350 B.C.) or describing his ideas of a composite Indian woman. The book abounds with Indian as well as foreign myths, legends, proverbs and poems ranging from Chaucer, Shakespeare, Whitman to Kalidasa, Iqbal and Faiz.
