The White Tiger

Balram Halwai narrates his epic, darkly humorous journey from an impoverished, lower-caste village upbringing to becoming a wealthy, self-made entrepreneur in modern India. After securing work as a submissive personal chauffeur for Ashok and Pinky—the affluent heirs of a corrupt landlord—Balram navigates the stark realities of servitude and class entrapment. When his wealthy employers attempt to frame him for a fatal hit-and-run to save themselves, Balram awakens to the brutal mechanics of exploitation and resolves to break free from India's perpetual social hierarchy using sharp wit, cunning ambition, and uncompromising survival tactics.
