Sometime ago, a friend asked for a couple of books about India. So far,
I am sure to suggest the following three titles. 

	DISCOVERY OF INDIA by Jawaharlal Nehru 
		(history, memoirs)

	FREEDOM AT MIDNIGHT by Collins and Lapierre 
		(journalistic, records the period around independence)

	MIDNIGHT'S CHILDREN by Salman Rushdie
		(fiction: rich in imagery, one of the best about India and
		 the indians)

Does anyone remember title of the book about tragedies of partition by
Khushawant Singh ? There are some others like R. K. Narayan, V. S. Naipaul
...but I read most of them some years ago and don't remember any specific 
titles. Any other suggestions ? Thanks.
