6. Conclusion
V.S. Naipaul's non-fictional works constitute a valuable document of social criticism. He has been travelling through the world for the last several years with an eye sharp enough to find material for a disillusioned interpretation of the world and its ways. His disinterestedness would have extracted appreciation from Matthew Arnold who regarded it as the best merit in a critic. He has scrutinized society individual relationship and its ever changing dimensions. Religion has emerged as the controlling power in the modern world and Naipaul studies its role in the present day context with great skill.
