Focusing on The White Tiger by Aravind Adiga, which is the story of the character Balram Halwai who is "The White Tiger" - the smartest boy in his village. Too poor to finish school, he has to work in a tea-shop until the day a rich man hires him as a chauffeur, and takes him to live in Delhi. The city is a revelation. Balram becomes aware of immense wealth all around him, and realises the only way he can become part of it is by murdering his master. The White Tiger presents a raw and un-romanticised India, both thrilling and shocking.
