Naipul, if I'm not mistaken is from W.Indies. A lot of Indians/Hindus settled in Windies (Mauratius etc) have jealously protected/guarded the traditions their ancestors took from India. Recently in Florida, in a co-operative condo-complex, one elderly retired couple from Windies were given eviction notice by condo-management since they had a traditional family/cultural flag flying outside their door (supposedly no-no per condo-by-laws, but some hindu-religious tradition for these folks).
Now this elderly retired couple (translation: limited income kinda folks) took the matter to court and won. It's amazing that traditions which even most Hindus aren't aware off, were observed and held so dear by people.
