12. To sum up……..
The White Tiger by Aravind Adiga is a darkly humorous social commentary on modern
India.
In his novel, Adiga has potrayed the real picture of common India man who was
passing his life as other human beings in India but creating a different character of
Balram Adiga shows that if a person will do something great he or she will definitely
achieve his/ her goal in their lives.
Adiga has focused on the changing trends, mindsets, value systems in post globalization
Indian society. Adiga try to break the mould of stereotypical portrayal of rural life.
