Meet Balram Halwal, the ' White Tiger': servant, philosopher, entrepreneur, murderer. Over the course of seven nights, by the scattered light of a preposterous chandelier, Balram tells his story? Born in a village in the dark heart of India, the son of a rickshaw puller, Balram is taken out of school by his family & put to work in a teashop. As he crushes coal & wipes tables, he nurses a dream of escape of breaking away from the banks Mother Ganga, into whose murky depths have seeped the remains of a hundred generations. His big chance comes when a rich village landlord hires him as a chauffeur for his son, daughter-in-law, & their two Pomeranian dogs. From behind the wheel of a Honda, Balram first sees Delhi. The city is a revelation. Amid the cockroaches & call-centres, the 36, 000, 004 gods, the slums, the shopping malls & the crippling traffic jams, Balram's re-education begins. Caught between his instinct to be a loyal son & servant, & his desire to better himself, he learns of a new morality at the heart of a new India. As the other servants flick through the pages of Murder Weekly, Balram begins to see how the Tiger might escape his cage. For surely any successful man must spill a little blood on his way to the top? THE WHITE TIGER is a take of two Indias. Balram's journey from the darkness of village life to the light of entrepreneurial success is utterly amoral, brilliantly irreverent, deeply endearing & altogether unforgettable.
