The White Tiger: Booker Prize Winner 2008 by Aravind Adiga [Paperback]
The White Tiger by Aravind Adiga, winner of the 2008 Man Booker Prize, is a darkly satirical and gripping tale that explores India's stark social and economic divisions. Balram Halwai, the titular "white tiger," narrates his journey from being a poor village boy to a successful entrepreneur in Delhi. Born into poverty, Balram works his way up as a chauffeur for a wealthy landlord's son. Witnessing the deep corruption and exploitation in Indian society, he schemes to break free from his oppressive "cage."
Through morally ambiguous actions—including murder—Balram carves out his own version of success, offering a biting critique of class disparity and the harsh realities of ambition in modern India.
