Abstract
There is no doubting that the concept of identity crisis is the basic and primary concern inpostcolonial texts. With the onset of globalization, the movement of individuals from one
country to another has accelerated for various reasons. As a result, one can see the
creation of multicultural land with the concept of variety. When one considers Sir
Vidiadhar Surajprasad Naipaul (V.S. Naipaul)'s novels The Mimic Men and A House for
Mr. Biswas, one can see a sense of rootlessness and identity emerge. The current research
also examines how the protagonists attempt to build identities by overcoming their sense of
rootlessness in a colonial setting. Without a doubt, alienation and isolation are themes that
appear to permeate the current novels as you read them. This painting also portrays the
plight of indentured Indian laborers who traveled to the Caribbean islands in quest of
significance in their life. These books also look into the difficulties that these workers
faced and attempted to overcome.
