Balram Halwai lives in Darkness, and in order to escape this darkness and enter into the light, he must first become a part of this dirty system. His journey will show you every awful and disgusting thing you need to know about India- corruption, poverty, oppression, slavery. Balram Halwai is the son of a rickshaw-puller living in Bihar. If you are an Indian (like me), you are not going to feel proud after you read this novel. The White Tiger is a brilliant story with dark humor.
And what do the rich dream of? Losing weight and looking like the poor.” “See, the poor dream all their lives of getting enough to eat and looking like the rich. The story shows you the contrast between the lives of poor and rich, those from the darkness and those from the light, men with small bellies and men with big bellies. The White Tiger is the voice of every deprived person from India, who is poor, trapped in the system, and wants to achieve something in life selfishly. The story reveals the harsh reality of poor people in India. The White Tiger is one of the most powerful novels I have read. (How the heck can a person be all of these at the same time?) It is the story of Balram Halwai, who is a servant, a philosopher, an entrepreneur, and a murderer. The White Tiger is the winner of the Man Booker Prize 2008, the same year it was published. Search “Best funny Indian novel” on Google, and you will find The White Tiger at the top.
