On 'The White Tiger;' and etc,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

This weekend completed reading 'The white tiger'. What has been described as 'Balram’s journey from darkness of village life to the light of entrepreneurial success' is actually a dark tale of the Indian village. But while Adiga tries to highlight the murkiness of Indian society, his tale becomes too dark.He has presented india as a place of brutal injustice and sordid corruption, one in which the poor are always victimised by their age-old enemies, the rich.And in doing so he ends up mocking things that an emotional indian holds high.
His opininion on the rooster coop is okay ..but it is high time Indian writers educated abroad like Adiga understand specks of lights still seep in the Darkness where the indian resides...
