Sir Vidiadhar Surajprasad Naipaul (1932 - 2018), knighted (1990) and awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature (2001), is commonly known as V. S. Naipaul. Born in Trinidad and educated in England, his grandparents had left India to work in Trinidad's plantations as indentured servants in the late 19th century. Naipaul first visits India in 1962. He sees a country paralyzed by entrenched resignation towards poverty & suffering. This painful year's stay is the subject of his acclaimed "An Area of Darkness" (Book 1 of the Indian trilogy) This, being Book 2, is a masterpiece of journalism & cultural analysis. Heart wrenching, unsentimental portrait of a complex society incapacitated by repeated foreign invasions & dominance. 175 pgs, 8 chapters in 3 parts: Part I, A Wounded Civilization; II, A New Claim on the Land; and III, Not Ideas, but Obessions.
