The White Tiger by Aravind Adiga (Hard bound)

The White Tiger by Aravind Adiga is a dark, gripping novel about Balram Halwai, a poor man from rural India who rises through the social and economic ranks by embracing crime and corruption. Written in the form of a letter to the Chinese Premier, Balram recounts his journey from a low-caste village boy to a successful entrepreneur in Bangalore.

The novel explores themes of social class, inequality, and the consequences of ambition in a corrupt society. It provides a sharp critique of the Indian class system and the challenges faced by those at the bottom of the social hierarchy. With its dark humor, vivid storytelling, and exploration of moral complexity, The White Tiger won the 2008 Man Booker Prize and remains a powerful reflection on modern India.
