        abstract = {This paper explores the failure of India’s class system as represented in Aravind Adiga’s novel The White Tiger (2008). Using sociological and postcolonial theory, it argues that Adiga depicts class hierarchy as a failing system—one that sustains inequality, moral corruption, and institutional decay. The novel’s protagonist, Balram Halwai, embodies both the victim and the product of systemic injustice, revealing how ambition, exploitation, and violence intertwine in a neoliberal context. The analysis demonstrates that the Indian class system fails not only economically but morally and institutionally, eroding the ethical foundations of society and exposing the contradictions of modern India.},
