Balram Halwai,
the White Tiger : servant, philosopher,
entrepreneur, murderer. Over the course of seven
nights, by the scattered light of a preposterous
chandelier,
Bairam
tells his story.
..
Born in a village in the dark heart of India, the son
of a rickshaw puller,
Bairam
is taken out of school
by his family and put to work in a teashop. As he
crushes coal and wipes tables, he nurses a dream
of escape
-
of breaking away from the banks of
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, and their two Pomeranian dogs. From behind
the wheel of a Honda,
Bairam
first sees Delhi.
The city is a revelation. Amid the cockroaches
and call-centres, the
36,000,004
gods, the slums,
the shopping malls and the crippling traffic jams,
Balrams re-education begins. Caught between his
instinct to be a loyal son and servant, and 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
oí
Murder Weekly,
Bairam
begins to see how the Tiger might escape his cage.
For surely any successful man must spill a litde
blood on his way to the top?
The White Tiger is a tale of two
Indias.
Balrams
journey from the darkness of village life to the
light of entrepreneurial success is utterly amoral,
brilliantly irreverent, deeply endearing and
altogether unforgettable.
