After killing his wife, I suggest he joins the sai baba organization or makes a special visit to his holiness Dalai Lama

@ZachClooney And Naipaul reads on till 49:05. What a shame that the Q&A was so short.

@Magenta408 I know what you mean about "That woman" who constantly distracts Naipaul and the audience. Interestingly, that is his wife, Lady Naipaul. Just imagine having to live with someone like that, seven days a week! She probably tries to be helpful. But she fails to realise what a nuisance she is making of herself.

Sir V.S. Naipaul comes on at 17:45 Thank you so much to 'cuatchannel13' for this upload.

@isateq ....U should have started with Ali Mazrui's 'The African, a Triple Heritage. Therein u begin to see the divisions of Africa between a few European kingdoms and the Arabs. In the case of Christianity, the English via David Livingstone lucidly elucidate the Empire's intentions: 3C's.....Christianity, civility and commerce. I could add more books to your report that would grow a beauteous report. BTW, this is an impressive excerpt.
