In the heart of India, where social hierarchies and rigid castes define one's destiny, Balram Halwai forges his own path from a destitute rickshaw-puller's son to a cunning entrepreneur. 'The White Tiger' narrates Balram's unflinching ascent in a raw account that pierces through the darkness of Indian village life. Hailed as the smartest boy in his dilapidated village, Balram's ambitions are far greater than what fate had seemingly allocated him. When an opportunity to become a chauffeur for a wealthy family presents itself, he is whisked away to the bustling streets of Delhi. Here, he becomes engulfed in a world of corruption and glaring inequalities. Balram's eyes are painfully opened to the vast divide between the rich and the poor, igniting a desperate and dangerous desire for change. Resolute and unapologetic, Balram's journey to success is marred by a heinous act of betrayal—the murder of his master. This act steels his resolve and forever changes his moral compass, setting him on a road towards an unfettered existence, even if it means having blood on his hands. In this gripping, Booker Prize-winning narrative, Balram's story is a jarring exploration of a society in flux and a man's inextinguishable thirst to break free from the shackles of his caste.
