Mainly members of Hindu community
I'm curious about your edit asserting that: Its inhabitants are mainly members of Hindu community to which Naipaul belonged. Uncle Bhakcu clearly is. I remember reading another of Naipaul's books that the person Bogart is based on was Indian as well. A lot of the characters in the book clearly are not - Toni and Mrs Hereira are described as Portuguese. Based on their names, I'd guess George and Elias were Syrian. A lot of surnames are non-Indian - Morgan, Hoyt, Ricaud, Hilton. Descriptions - Big Foot being called big and black, Laura calling her daughter black and bow-legged. Many of the others present to me as non-Indian, even though it's never specified - Man-Man's crucifixion, for example, would identify him as at least a non-Hindu.

At the very least, this needs a source. Guettarda (talk) 19:22, 6 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Thanks, there is a source somewhere, but as you suggest a mistaken one. I'd better alter this.--Thoughtfortheday (talk) 20:35, 6 March 2020 (UTC)
