Meet Balram Halwai, the 'White Tiger': servant, philosopher, entrepreneur and murderer. Balram, the White Tiger, was born in a backwater village on the River Ganges, the son of a rickshaw-puller. He works in a teashop, crushing coal and wiping tables, but nurses a dream of escape. When he learns that a rich village landlord needs a chauffeur, he takes his opportunity, and is soon on his way to Delhi behind the wheel of a Honda. Amid the cockroaches and call-centres, the 36,000,004 gods, the slums, the shopping malls, and the crippling traffic jams, Balram learns of a new morality at the heart of a new India. Driven by desire to better himself, he comes to see how the Tiger might escape his cage...

I wanted to read this because it won the Man Booker of 2008 and my dear deadendmind gave it to me as a gift for Christmas. Thank you!

Well, it was ok I guess... I didn't bore me to death and I like this kind of 1st person storytelling. But it wasn't much to like. It wasn't like I learned many things about India. Yes, the slaves part was interesting, how they live all their lives under their master's will and all, but that's it. Nothing more there...
