Detailed Solution

Chutney music is well-known in Trinidad and Tobago, Jamaica, and other Caribbean countries. Chutney music is a fusion of Indian folk music, specifically Bhojpuri folk music, local Caribbean calypso, and soca music, as well as Bollywood music.
Drupatee Ramgoonai of Trinidad and Tobago coined the term chutney soca in 1987 in her first album, Chutney Soca, which featured a mix of Trinidadian English and Trinidadian Hindustani versions of the songs. It is a contemporary creative expression of post-indentured experiences.
In the Caribbean islands, indentured workers continued to be an uneasy minority. Early works by V.S. Naipaul expresses this feeling of estrangement and grief.
Thus both Assertion and Reason are true, but Reason is not the correct explanation of the Assertion.
