Aravind Adiga's "The White Tiger" - Theme is like God of small things. This novel talks about how servants are treated by Indian masters, like the rookies in the coop and how a white tiger breaks it and comes out in a most dishonest way. However the white tiger justifies his action in the climax.The mind change of Balram Halwai from a loyal servant to a cruel cheat was well captured. The bad side of India including corruption, pollution, rich-poor unfairness, caste bias and hypocrisy are explained in a detailed way. So what you get? booker prize! Something like Slumdog wins Oscars. If you are more patriotic about India, skip it!
