Social disruption and disparity in Aravind Adiga's the white tiger
Authors
Salman Khan
Abstract
The present research paper effectively highlights how Aravind Adiga, in his debut novel titled 'The White Tiger' depicts the dark side of India. Social disruption and societal conflict/disparity have been successfully depicted in the novel by raising befitting issues like poverty, hunger, tyranny, social disparity, and unfairness based on the basis of caste, religion, and class through the story of Balram, the protagonist who rose from a humble background to achieve success in the upper class of the Indian society. Adiga makes a noble effort to exhibit the experiences which poor Indian people go through their entire lives. Also, this paper explains how Adiga portrays socio-cultural challenges in India; especially in power-politics, the Caste system, and master-servant society. Balram represents the voice of poor class people symbolically as a rooster coop. In order to release from social restrictions imposed on the deprived class by the upper class he practised unethical deeds including the murder of his own boss and betrayal to his own family. Adiga tries to bring the reformation in the socio-economic and rich-poor system by eradicating existing social problems in Indian society.
