"I was overcome by remorse. I haven’t taken the life of bird or animal for over 50 years. On the contrary, I became a passionate preserver of wild life and took a leading role in persuading many states to impose a blanket ban on shikar to honour the memory of Jain Mahavira."


Typical! Overdo things, get bored or remorseful and then try to stop everyone having the pleasure you once enjoyed.

Khushwant Singh is a clown who deserves to cut smutty jokes and do little else. A bootlicker for Indira and Sanjay Gandhi who supported the horrors of the Emergency has no business talking from a "moral" standpoint. Someone ought to tell the joker to shut up - a Sikh who enjoys his Chicken Tikka with Scotch whisky every night (preferrably free from someone who wants to be seen with Khushwant) has no business talking about Jainism. Mahavira Jina himself ate meat as Jains who are shown ancient scriptures embarassingly admit.
