Description
The White Tiger by Aravind Adiga is a gripping and darkly satirical novel that explores themes of class struggle, corruption, and ambition in modern India. The story is narrated by Balram Halwai, a poor yet intelligent village boy who rises from being a servant to a successful entrepreneur in Bangalore. Through letters addressed to the Chinese Premier, Balram recounts his journey from the darkness of rural poverty to the light of wealth and power. His transformation is marked by a shocking act—murdering his wealthy employer, Ashok, to escape servitude and establish his own business. The novel exposes the harsh realities of India's socio-economic divide, where the rich exploit the poor, and morality takes a backseat to survival. Adiga’s sharp, witty prose and Balram’s unapologetic voice make The White Tiger a compelling critique of inequality and the pursuit of success at any cost.
