ABSTRACT:
Diasporic novels occupied a special position in the literary horizon that paints the diasporic art with multiple colours. V S Naipaul wrote three travelogues regarding his visit to India. An Area of Darkness (1964), India: A wounded civilization, and India: A Million Mutinies now (1990). This paper tries to explore the diasporic aspects of Naipaul’s first travelogue ' An Area of Darkness'. The chief theme of this novel are ‘Alienation’ and ‘Isolation’. It focuses the false attempt of Naipaul to settle in India, where Naipaul marks a painful confrontation with the Indian society, culture as well as it’s civilization that took care of him in earlier years which was honestly personal. It says about the uncertain relationship of Naipaul from being both an Insider and Outsider, which faced serious socio political criticism. This factor flatered and failed because of the same expressive responses of various writers.
