  • Abstract:
  • Aravind Adiga’s The White Tiger (2008) presents a penetrating critique of social, economic, and moral inequality in modern India. Through the voice of Balram Halwai, the novel exposes the grim realities of class stratification, corruption, and exploitation that persist beneath India’s façade of globalization and progress. This research paper explores how Adiga portrays inequality as an entrenched and cyclical system, perpetuated through poverty, servitude, and moral decay. Drawing upon postcolonial and Marxist frameworks, the study examines how Balram’s narrative becomes both a symptom and a subversion of India’s socio-economic imbalance.
