Naipaul has always viewed his novels from a psychological point of view - the racial, moral and cultural crisis of individuals. As an East Indian in the West Indies, Naipaul has been able to capture the experience of the colonized in all its psychological depth. Apparently, Naipaul does not show much faith in individualism, but he has succeeded in transforming personal as well as social problem into a universal one. He presents young people with all the promise of a fulfilling creative life turning sour for, in whichever direction they turn, they discover their dreams to be insubstantial. In turning away, they broke their connections with a known, though unrealised world. The Mystic Masseur is a very exact expression of the Naipaul’s views on the contemporary Trinidadian, and shows the transformation of a religious impostor into a fake revolutionary, yet he succeeds in his role. Key Words: personal identity, people of Trinidad, scientific household gadgets, trade of “masseur” etc.
