The White Tiger - Aravind Adiga




Mr.Adiga wanted to portray the ''mirthless humorless weaklings from the 'Darkness' of India without a trace of sentiments'' and that he did exactly in 2008 in his debut novel The White Tiger  and bagged Man Booker Prize for the same. Splendid ! This dark parody set in contemporary India makes the reader laugh n hoot as well as provokes to ponder on the much cliched topics like poverty, caste, corruption, globalization, freedom, individuality etc.

Brilliant.
