Hell, it had taken such a long time just to know the real name of the revered author. Wish somebody had told me when I had requested:) Seems me was not worth of knowing but the popularity has no boundries, has it?

The unimitable K Chettri writes:

"V. S. Naipaul, the Oxford-educated British writer, born in Trinidad to an immigrant family from North India."


From North India, eh?
How about from our own dear old Nepal?

In his Nobel acceptance speech, this is what Naipaul himself told the world:

"I know nothing of the people on my father's side; I know only that some of them came from Nepal. Two years ago a kind Nepalese who liked my name sent me a copy of some pages from an 1872 gazetteer-like British work about India, Hindu Castes and Tribes as Represented in Benares; the pages listed - among a multitude of names -those groups of Nepalese in the holy city of Banaras who carried the name Naipal. That is all that I have."

Here's some additional masala:

"What is Nobel Laureate Vidia Sagar Naipaul?s ances-try? Dare we say Nepal? A century or so ago a mass of indentured labourers from Bihar and what was then the United Provinces traveled to the sugarcane plantations of the West Indies, Fiji and Africa. As a result, Trinidad today is full of Gangetic surnames such as Kanjai, Kallicharan, Ramadhin, Ramprakash, Ramsumair, Chanderpaul, Asgarlai ? Naipaul. Interestingly, there is no surname in the Ganga maidaan today that comes close to ?Naipaul?. On the other hand, we know this was one variation of the spelling the British used then for Nepal ? Nipal, Nipaul, Nepaul, Naipaul... As for tradition, many Nepalis do take on Nepal as a surname even today (Madhav Kumar Nepal is the head of the Unified Marxist-Leninists of Nepal), and it is used by dalit families who want a neutral identifier. Vidia Sagar, who is a fourth generation Trinidian (and hates it, evidently), had this to say about his ancestry in a speech delivered in 1990, ?We were an agricultural immigrant community from India.? Per-haps you are wrong there, Sir. And Nepal has always wanted a Nobel Laureate, and this would be just a little more in-terested than being listed in the Guinness World Record Book for this or that exploit, no?"

monks ke cha ? mich u :d

I have to agree with Sitara here... what she said was,
""V. S. Naipaul, the Oxford-educated British writer, born in Trinidad to an immigrant amily from North India."

If V.S. Naipaul's immigrant family came from Nepal, I'll give you a cookie. She's talking about his parents, not his forefather.

Hi Ashu; Long time! How have you been? "unimitable!", indeed. Indeed, like you, like everyone else. :)

Thank you for posting those masaladar pieces. Made good for reading. But as thugged out aptly put it, my focus was on his parents' origins not the ambiguity of his ancestry.

In Naipaul's "Literary Occasions", a collection of autobiographical essays the author himself reasserts, " We were an immigrant Asian community in a small plantation island in the New World. To me India seemed very far away, mythical, but we were at that time, in all the branches of our extended family, only about forty or fifty years out of India. We were still full of the instincts of people of the Gangetic plain, though year by year the colonial life around us was drawing us in." After which he dedicates a whole chapter to "his personal India" (as opposed to the historical/political India we read about) with naught a mention of Nepal. However, Naipaul knew his audience well when he flirted with the concept of a Himalayan ancestry in his famouse speech!

Houston, good observations. I thought about that while reading "magic Seeds"; he himself seemed bored out of his mind while writing the book. As for the other, Willie does not go whoring in India like he did in Africa.

Hello, Anonymous, Newuser, Methodman; thanks for dropping by.

Deep ji; height of exaggeration?! :)

No problem Sitara, enjoyed your article..

* goes back to sleep *

These days somehow I am more attracted to non-fiction (the little I read), so your recommendation matters. Do you recommend the book, Sitara?

Hi NK;

If you like fast paced, "Magic Seeds"would not be one I'd recommend to you.

उता अभिबादन गरें, नजर भएन। अब यतै आएँ। कताको बढाईचढाई हुनु नी। सत्ते हो खतरा लागेको रामो राम।




Solitude I see, I thought -
Chaos inside me- then
Now, the course's reversed
Know and don't what I missed
Say I don't- but I did.

मैले त title को plot-less लाई POT-LESS झैं देखेछु र केही गरिहाल्न पो सकिन्छ कि भन्दै scouting गर्दो भा'को

कुरो आर्कै दुनियाको पो रहेछ त ।

All the best

Keep rolling...

Solitude you sought-- I thought,
Chaos you shadowed-- Blindly,
Now Your course is reversed-- I see,
I read what you miss--Now,
Not what You lived--Then!

Dhanyabad Deep ji for taking the trouble.



Shree5, Grow your pot in a karesa bari;
You'll live a pot-less life. ;)

darn katrina,

I almost missed this thread...had read "The house of Mr. Biwas" many years ago....buwa loves his books, they are marvel.

check out some other books written by indian writers:

choker bali - Tagore
the god of small things - Arundhati Roy ( one of my favorites)
Satanic verses - Rushdie
A suitable boy - Vikram Seth

Deepji, I hope you didn't mind the "you" is a generic "you".

:)

John Galt, did you just call me "Katrina"? !!!! hummmmmmmph!

You've got a good list there, though.

No Sitara.....how dare I?

We just survived the wrath of Katrina for few days and the power came back few moments ago.

John Galt,

I was there just last week for a convention. The tour guid was explaining how strong the levees were :)

well...the tour guides of N'orleans need to be updated houston. The levees were made ages back and they all have sustained the wrath of all regulation hurricanes. It was time one could question about their reliability.

Even if there were no any hurricanes, the ever splashing waves of lake pontchartrain would weaken the bulwark over the period of time.
