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.
