V.S. Naipaul
(1932 - 2018)
Novelist V.S. Naipaul was born in Chaguanas, Trinidad; the majority of people in his area were Indian. “When I was born,” he said upon receiving his Nobel Prize in literature in 2001, Trinidad “had a population of about 400,000. Of this, about 150,000 were Indians, Hindus and Muslims, nearly all of peasant origin.”
