bwoy. Naipual is so significant. an Indian from Indian could not see wat he saw. he had to be west indian to see it.
Indians in the west indies doh sing naipaul as he shud be sung. he too Black fuh dem..radical. west indians call Naipaul racist. I did not find so but he may have been. but I doh care. racist or not his value is without calculation
but see at can happen to nd with west indian man. Naipaul shud only be your guide...why? you are west indian yuhself. you know by expeprience
Of course I know by Upbringing !
My street and village had a more colorful cast than Vidya's ~
