Blog Task: The White Tiger

Respected sir,

·        In the novel Arvind Adiga represents real India and also presented is salve mentality of Indian peoples. And also talk about the certain cash, Satire on Education System, great Socialist, Marriage, and Lesson breaking coals and also talk about the Bronze statue of Gandhi leading the people from darkness to light.  Pollution, prostitution, unemployment, poverty, dirty politics, corruption, changing morality etc. presented here.

·         Yes, I believe that Balram story is the archetype of all stories of ‘Rag to riches’. Because Balram himself narrated his situation and then level and murders his master Ashok. In this world everyone crave for more money or more facilities but main concern of the person chooses a right path for reaches this higher that he has to climb this status and for this he chooses the Path of dishonesty, or amorality. But for him it is a right way to defeat his master. So if we look at other Perspective we find he is individual thinker. He think, that it is only the path for reaches the higher level.  

·        If we pick up any word it has various contexts and language itself is very complex.  Derrida’s ‘Deconstruction’ theory we can apply in this text ‘The White Tiger’. When we find any negative word or phrase in the novel we can easily deconstruct this idea. Here in this novel Balram used the word for himself as a ‘half-baked Indian’ and in this point we can deconstruct the idea.
