A Study of Socio-political Realities in Aravind Adiga's The White Tiger

Abstract

Socio-political issues are deeply embedded in the narrative of The White Tiger by Aravind Adiga, offering a critical examination of contemporary Indian society. The novel presents a grim yet realistic portrayal of class conflict, corruption, and social inequality, exposing the widening gap between the affluent elite and the marginalized poor. Through Balram Halwai’s journey from a village boy to a successful entrepreneur, Adiga critiques the systemic injustices that hinder social mobility. The novel probes into the oppressive structures that shape individual lives, highlighting themes such as economic disparity, political corruption, and moral degradation. By portraying Balram as a product of these conditions, Adiga highlights the struggles of those seeking liberation from social constraints. This article examines the socio-political issues presented in Aravind Adiga’s The White Tiger, focusing on themes of class division, corruption, and social inequality. The novel reflects the socio-economic realities of modern India, emphasizing the challenges faced by marginalized communities. Through Balram Halwai’s journey, Adiga critiques systemic oppression, the corrupt political framework, and the exploitative nature of capitalism. The narrative highlights the moral dilemmas arising from social pressures and explores the impact of globalization on India’s economic landscape. By blending satire with realism, Adiga effectively exposes the consequences of entrenched inequality and the complexities of socio-political struggles in contemporary society.
