ABSTRACT:
This research paper explores the sociopolitical commentary and character analysis in Arvind Adiga's novel "The White Tiger". Through an analysis of the novel's themes, characters, and narrative structure, the paper argues that Adiga's work offers a sharp critique of the socioeconomic and political realities of modern-day India. Moreover; it examines the themes of social mobility, corruption, and exploitation, as well as the character of Balram Halwai, whose transformation from a meek servant to a ruthless entrepreneur highlights the harsh realities of survival in a cut-throat society.
