The white tiger

The novel is a compelling, darkly humorous story told through the first-person confession of Balram Halwai, a man from a poor village in India who becomes a successful entrepreneur through questionable morality, including murder. The narrative explores the stark divide between the rich and the poor in contemporary India and the systemic oppression faced by the lower classes, which Balram metaphorically calls the "Rooster Coop," a social trap he is determined to escape at all costs
