Naipul is great and was right on every topic he touched. The problem with some intellectuals with third world backgrounds living in western enlighted countries is that they find it hard to acknowledge the excellency, however many its mistakes and imperfections, and achievements of the west, causing them to have ambivalent feelings towards western culture in general. Naipul understood all this. He was a realist and not afraid to value western culture for what it is and accept for what it can not and could not be. Being myself born, raised and educated in the European continent I admire Hinduism, its wisdom and culture, although it never gave humanity the medical science and technology the Western world offered. Naipul understood this. No surprise all critics of Sir Naipul in the BBC documentary are muslims.
Not at all. She is only answering the questions addressed to her and fills in towards the end when Mr. Naipaul looks like he would like to retire and doesn't seem to have any energy left to speak further.
I'm supportive of many types of criticism, but this is just pure unkindness. If you have a specific area the interviewer can improve, name it. Otherwise take your general griping elsewhere.
I think the interviewer did a fantastic job. He was very knowledgeable about the guest's life and works and dealt very deftly and considerately with the interview despite Naipual's hearing and speaking challenges.

I love Naipaul's works. Studied some in High School and University. Working with students presently: THE MIMIC MEN
Loved this interview. Unhurried. Paced naturally to work with V S Naipaul’s pace.
Thank you very much for sharing. Very happy to see Mr. Naipaul in good spirits.
There is a lessening of Naipaul's indentured ancestry. Still a brilliant talk.
Hi first wife was apparently quite a literary partner in his writing.And apparently he was quite bad with her even in her dying days.
vs naipol so exciting man
Has anybody else ended up hating Lady Naipaul by the end of the interview? Let the man speak , damn it!
Why hate her? She is valiantly trying to save the situation as he is snoring next to her it seems
Not at all. She is only answering the questions addressed to her and fills in towards the end when Mr. Naipaul looks like he would like to retire and doesn't seem to have any energy left to speak further.

In most of the recent interviews, Nadira acts as if she's responsible for Naipaul's literary greatness
she's a proud wife, do you have one?
The interviewer is quite terrible. He should do something different in life.
