Abstract
This paper focuses on the postmodern aspects of Aravind
Adiga’s book “The White Tiger”. There is a vast representation of
capitalist mindset, Marxist approach, fragmentation, paranoia,
irony and intertextuality in this novel. The image of modern India
had acquired such media hype and its success stories started
receiving so much massive attention that the sufferings of the vast
majority of the deprived both in the urban and rural India
remained unheard in the noise. The economic, scientific and
technological boom in India had attained the new value of the
grand narratives of the country. This image of a successful India
whitewashes the sufferings of the poor and the socio-economic
problems that challenge the growth and development of the nation.
This paper tries to re-inscribe the imagination of the present
generation about the sordid deprivation of majority of the people
so that the research scholars, political leaders and policy makers
get new directions to address. This paper has expounded how the
landlordism, poverty, ill-equipped education system, poor health
facilities, corruption in government agencies and moral decline
have been aggravating the sufferings of the poor and decelerating
the development of the nation.
