Using recycled concrete aggregates (RCA) for pavements is crucial to achieving sustainability. Implementing RCA for new pavement can minimize carbon footprint, conserve natural resources, reduce harmful emissions, and lower life cycle costs. Compared to natural aggregate (NA), RCA pavement has fewer comprehensive studies and sustainability assessments.

interning at the Financial Times.
He was hired by TIME, where he remained a

During his freelance period, he wrote The White
Tiger.
3. Aravind Adiga's debut novel,
The White Tiger, won the 2008
Booker Prize.
He is the fourth Indian-born
author to win the Booker Prize,
after Salman Rushdie,
Arundhati Roy and Kiran Desai.
4. The style of the novel is narrative and satirical
The White Tiger is a tale of two Indians
It studies the contrast between India's rise as a
modern global economy and the lead character,
Balram, who comes from crushing rural poverty.
5. The novel takes the form of a series of letters written
late at night by Balram Halwai to Wen Jiabao, the
Premier of the State Council of the people’s republic
of China, on the eve of his visit to India.
In the letters, Balram describes his rise from lowly
origins to his current position as an entrepreneur in
Bangalore, as well as his views on India’s caste
system and its political corruption.
6. The novel provides a darkly humorous perspective of
India’s class struggle in a globalized world as told
through a retrospective narration from Balram
Halwai, a village boy. In detailing Balram’s journey
first to Delhi, where he works as a chauffeur to a rich
landlord, and then to Bangalore, the place to which
he flees after killing his master and stealing his
money, the novel examines issues of religion, caste,
loyalty, corruption and poverty in India
7. . Ultimately, Balram transcends his sweet-maker
caste and becomes a successful entrepreneur,
establishing his own taxi service. In a nation proudly
shedding a history of poverty and
underdevelopment, he represents, as he himself
says, "tomorrow."
8. Born in a village in heartland India, Balram the son of
a rickshaw puller, is taken out of school by his family
and put to work in a teashop.
As he crushes coals and wipes tables, he nurses a
dream of escape – of breaking away from the banks
of Mother Ganga, into whose depths have seeped
the remains of a hundred generations. Balram’s
journey from darkness of village life to the light of
entrepreneurial success is utterly amoral and
altogether unforgettable
9. Balram is the White Tiger of the book- a title he
earns by virtue of being deemed the smartest boy in
his village, Laxmangarh (a fictional village in Bihar),
a community deep in the Darkness of rural India.
The son of a rickshaw-puller; his family is too poor
for him to be able to finish school, and instead he
has to work in a teashop, breaking coals and wiping
tables.
10. Through these experiences, Balram learns much
about the world and later states that the streets of
India provided him with all the education he needed.
After learning how to drive, Balram gets his break
when a rich man from his village, hires him as a
chauffeur, allowing him to live in Delhi.As he drives
his master and his family to shopping malls and call
centres, Balram becomes increasingly aware of
immense wealth and opportunity all around him,
while knowing that he will never be able to gain
access to that world.
11. As Balram broods over his situation, he realizes that
there is only one way he can become part of this
glamorous new India - to murder his employer’s son
Ashok.
Recently returned from a stint in America, Ashok is
conflicted by the corruption and harshness of life in
India. However, his complicity in corruption leads to
his demise and Balram’s chance to become an
entrepreneur, and thus a cog in India’s new
technological society.
12. • The White Tiger by Aravind Adiga, has once again
drawn the attention of thousands of Indian readers
not only for winning the Man Booker Prize 2008 but
primarily for its realistic and graphic picture of some
of the most canny truths about India. It is perhaps
the most drastic and bitter facts that have impressed
the judges, who have got a revealing inside into
India.
13. • The novel is an excellent social commentary on the
poor-rich divide in India where Balram represents the
downtrodden sections of our society juxtaposed
against the rich.
Its about the problems of our country:
Inequity
Exploitation
Casteism
