Aravind Adiga’s Man Booker Prize winning novel “The White Tiger” is a bitter critique of treachery, sordid corruption, lack of identity, slavery, labouring and brutal injustice in India. The narrator’s journey from the darkness of village life to the light of entrepreneurial success is utterly unethical, brilliantly irreverent and deeply endearing. The novel offers a dark comical view of modern day life in India through the narration of Balram Halwai, the main character. The overall main theme of the novel is the contrast between India’s rise as a modern global economy and the working class people who live in crushing rural poverty. It is a rags-to-riches story, the unscrupulous way. The paper attempts to show the image of modern India from Aravind Adiga’s The White Tiger.
