Not very familiar with controversies surrounding VS Naipaul or the movie. I have only recently come in contact with people of the Indo-Caribbean community at the temple here in Toronto.

ahem.
*sticks nose in air*
The correct term is...Phagwah.
Holi is for the europeans and peasants who can't pronounce the word.
Oh...and Mystic Masseur was sooooo European.
It failed to accurately capture the accents, style and heritage of the
caribbean life that VS Naipaul lived.
And *that* pretentious bastard shouldn't be called a Trinidadian in the
first place.
I say Ni to you, sir.
Ni...Ni, ni, ni.
Humph.
*struts off*

Yes, Happy Diwali!
The one celebrated with the coloured water and powder is Holi.

it.
