Abstract

With Aravind Adiga's debut novel The White Tiger winning the prestigious Man Booker Prize for Fiction in 2008, a master-servant connection emerged, emphasizing a harsher picture of Indian social life. The White Tiger is a book about two India’s “in one: a Light India and a Dark India” (p. 14). The purpose of this study is to investigate the common system of hierarchy among Indian social classes and how Adiga interacts with it. The imaginary connection between Balram Halwai and his master, Mr. Ashok, reveals the economic difference between the affluent and the poor. The work “shocked and delighted in equal measure,” according to Michael Portillo (Portillo, 2008). The split between those who are well off and the less wealthy may have an unsafe impact in case it is unsettled. However, the poor n India hasn't rebelled against mean conduct and double-dealing by the rich individuals, there is an inclination of hatred and who can say for sure when this stifled feeling is changed into insurgency.
