ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

"The White Tiger" by Aravind Adiga tells the story of Balram Halwai, a young man from a poor village in India, as he rises from servitude to become a successful entrepreneur. The novel follows Balram's journey from his days as a tea shop worker to his employment as a driver for a wealthy family. It shows his subsequent escape to Bangalore after murdering his master. The narrative explores themes of social inequality, corruption, ambition, and the dark side of globalization in India through Balram's cynical yet insightful perspective. It is a morally complex exploration of power and freedom in a rapidly changing society.
