'The White Tiger' is a capturing read about the still strong class system in India. The story is told by a young man who was born into a low caste and so was expected to work as a servant his entire life. However, the man will not accept this fate and plots a way for himself to get out of his low position in the society.
The novel is an eye-opening read on how the society in India operates. The differences between those higher class and those from lower class are revealed through the author's life story. A must read for anyone taking an interest in such issues or hoping to learn about South Asian culture.
