Central thought and summary of Arvind Adiga's novel The White Tiger.

 White Tiger is Arvind Adiga's first novel. It was first released in 2008 and won the same year's 40th Man Booker Prize. A retrospective narrative by Balram Halwai, a village-boy turned into a servant, a servant turned a philosopher, an philosopher turned into an industrialist, and an assassin turned over, the novel presents a dark and humorous aspect of India's class struggle in a globalized world. Balram recounts his journey through the seven unforgettable nights journey.

              The novel examines problems of religion, caste, allegiance, corruption, and poverty in India in detailing Balram's voyage first to Delhi, where he works as a chauffeur to a wealthy landlord, and then to Bangalore, the place to which he flees after murdering his master and stealing his cash.

            Balram Halwai, born in a shaddy village, in "the darkness" in Bihar, the son of a rickshaw puller, recounts with colossal composure and regret his experiences. Removed from college and compelled by his family to work in a teashop, Balram embraces his existence. While working in the teashop, he starts to know from the discussion of the customer about India's government and economy. Balram defines himself as a poor servant and chooses to become a driver.

          Although Balram belonged to a group deep in rural India's "darkness," after studying the driving art, he receives his break. He receives the stork's son's driver job, Ashok. The stork is a Balram's village landlord. With Ashok and his wife Miss Pinky, Balram moves to New Delhi. It's a town of shocks and surprises for Balram.  As he drives his master and family to shopping malls and call centers, Balram is becoming more and more conscious of the tremendous wealth and chance around him. Throughout their time in New Delhi Balram is exposed to the extensive corruption of India's Government. One thing strikes him hard : he knows very well that he will never be able to compete with the world or even get access to the humanity that he sees around him.

As Balram broods over his condition, he understands there's only one way he can become part of the sensational new India, and that's my assassination of his employer Ashok. He kills Ashok one raining day by bludgeoning him with a broken bottle of liquor. Balram escapes to Bangalore as well. There he bribes the inorder of the police to assist begin his own driving service. When one of his drivers kills a Balram bike messenger, the family and police are paid off. Balram describes that for Ashok's mom, his family was almost definitely murdered by the stork. Balram moderates his actions at the end of the novel by saying that his freedom is worth the lives of Ashok and his family.
Balram, the protagonist, is not blamed for his misconduct; Adiga attempts to reveal the country's social, political and financial situation by showing a dark comic perspective of modern life in India through the narration of Balram Halwai, the novel's primary protagonist. The contrast between the increase of India as an existing universal financial system and the individuals of the working class living in serious rustic paucity is amazing. Corruption and politics,  domestic devotion and self-government,  religious tensions and global disparity- everything is served with earnestness and authenticiy.
