        abstract = {Aravind Adiga's notable novel, ‘The White Tiger offers a piercing and often skeptical examination of the socio-economic conditions in modern India. This paper argues that Adiga consistently exposes and critiques the systemic erosion of core human values such as integrity, empathy, justice, dignity, and compassion across various levels of Indian society. Through a detailed textual analysis of his novel, this study will demonstrate how Adiga employs satirical, ironic, and starkly realistic narratives to highlight the widespread distortion and commercialization of these values, driven by rampant capitalism, political corruption, and the relentless pursuit of social advancement. By examining the complex interplay between personal ambition and societal pressures, this paper aims to provide a nuanced understanding of Adiga’s deep engagement with the ethical dilemmas of a rapidly modernizing India.},
