Abstract

Aravind Adiga's novel, "The White Tiger" presents a complex and often unflattering image of contemporary India, offering a searing critique of the nation's socio economic landscape through the eyes of its protagonist Balram Halwai. The novel delves deep into the heart of modern India, exposing the stark contradictions and moral ambiguities that define its rapid transformation in the 21st century. Through Balram's journey from a poor village boy to a successful entrepreneur in Bangalore, Adiga portrays a nation that grapples with stark socioeconomic disparities, endemic corruption, and a rigid caste system that continues to shape individual destinies.
