"The White Tiger takes a sharp and unblinking look at the
reality of India's economic miracle. Its antihero and
narrator, Balram Halwai, is a cocksure, uneducated young
man, the son of an impoverished rickshaw driver. By lying,
betraying and using his sharp intelligence, Balram makes
his ascent into the heady heights of Bangalore's big business."
