Here's a potted description of
The White Tiger from Wikipedia:
Quote:
The White Tiger is the debut novel by Indian author Aravind Adiga. It was first published in 2008 and won the 40th Man Booker Prize in the same year.[1] 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.
<snipped for plotty points>
...the novel examines issues of religion, caste, loyalty, corruption and poverty in India
