I am an avid reader and has read some of V.S.Naipaul's works. I do admire his writings. However, his disgruntled attitude towards other writers, and his unprovoked criticisms of the Caribbean, and Caribbean culture; India, and Indian culture are uncalled for and is absolutely repugnant. Mr. Naipaul has now achieved fame through his writings, but, the fact of the matter remained that he was born in Trinidad, he is of Indian descent, and those are what he cannot deny. He wished he was born of caucasian ancestry, preferably British (of the noble birth). Let him riled, let him railed against the whole world, he is nothing but an unhappy and unsypathetic combination of confusion of the mind. Should he be shunned by the literary world, his Noble Prize would worth him nought.
