Recently, I read Arvind Adiga's 'The White Tiger'. This was recommended by one of the very close friend. Along with it, the fact that Arvind Adiga won Booker prize for this book, motivated me enough to read this novel.
The start is impressive as 'The White Tiger' addresses a letter to Chinese President. The initial pages suggest that this novel will be full of India-bashing. However, as I move along, I found this novel of a kind of 'eye-opening'. It gives a certain view of how poor people thinks, what are their small-small dreams, the prevailing cast system, the problems associated with day-to-day life of a poor, and more importantly, the increasing rich-poor divide.
Certainly a worth reading.
