The White Tiger is the cynical life story of Balram Halwai as he became a business owner in

Adigas writing style is simple and terse, devoid of difficult words and complex sentences. His
humor is dark and cynical. His stories do not hesitate to exhibit the gory underside of reality.
There is no gloss or glamour, but reality with all its multiplicities and chaos.
