 "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."
