“The White Tiger” by Aravind Adiga is a piece of literature that talks about India left and right. A book that can be half fiction half true. It talks about the fortunate and the unfortunate‚ the rich and the poor. The irony shown in this book about corruption‚ oppression of the poor‚ reality of India vs. the images foreigners have of India help portray our understanding of this novel. The irony in “The White Tiger” shows the corruption in India. Balram Halwai is a student in a school with a teacher
