The White Tiger (eBook) by Aravind Adiga

The White Tiger is Balram, the son of a lowly rickshaw puller who is taken out of school early and put to work in a teashop. As he smashes coals and wipes tables, he nurses a dream of escape, of breaking free from a life of poverty and servitude.
When a rich village landlord, Mr Ashhok, hires him as a chauffeur for his son and daughter-in-law, Balram’s re-education begins. In New Delhi he finds himself among cockroaches and traffic-jams, slums and shopping malls, 21st-century technology and medieval superstition. Trapped between his instinct to be a loyal son and servant, and his desire to better himself, and under the scrutiny of 36,000,005 gods, he discovers a new morality at the heart of the new India. Gradually Balram comes to see how the Tiger might escape his cage.
