The story portrays religion in Trinidad, whether Hindi or Christianity, in wry—if not outright satirical—terms. Hari, the pundit, is ridiculed by Mr. Biswas for bringing bad fortune upon houses and people he blesses; and Dorothy, the westernized wife of Shekhar, is disdained by Mrs. Tulsi's daughters for her pretentiousness.
