Abstract There is no doubting that the concept of identity crisis is the basic and primary concern in postcolonial 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.
