There is something special about the rare and extinct things in this world. It is celebrated as a wonder when it is found and made to be fondly remembered. Likewise, there is this animal which is remembered for its appearance and the attitude which is thrown out - The white tiger . This is the tiger which is a rare breed in the cat family that is seen only in certain places.

The White Tiger is a novel written by Aravind Adiga which one many notable awards . The story is all a metaphor of the protagonist being compared with the features and actions of the white tiger . The story adheres to the concept of difference between rich and poor caste people. Here the story involves a talented and able to do anything small boy who is so productive and loves to study. On one fine day , a guy comes and conducts a talk-over session with the boys in the village and our protagonist balram stunts with his great fluency and the interviewer offers a scholarship to balram . Balram turns happy and cherishes it .

Later, as we all knew not all sailing is a smooth one ! Balram also had bad sailing but it ruined his entire life and made him to work in the coal centre for his rest of the time . After working for many long days in the same place , Balram gets fed up and decides to act brilliant and joins as a driver in his zamindar's house . Later, after months of working as a driver, Balram was later instructed to work for zamindar's younger son named Ashok . Ashok has moved out of his house due to some chaos and started to live alone with his wife Pinky .

As expected, Balram was not treated that great , he controlled all his anger and decided to react back on the right time like hitting on the nail. Balram reacted right on time and killed his master Ashok . He stole the money which master Ashok had at the time of his death and Balram escaped to bangalore and started to use the ideas given by his master to him and started a call taxi business and named the company as " White Tiger Travels " .

Then Balram is known as an established entrepreneur among the city and the history like what happened to his father is repeated .

This story was a great inspiration and was written in a well-mannered manner. This story was also made as a netflix film which got released by this january and running successfully . Even Though the story written is not exactly screened in the film and added some commercial elements , it has given some life to the writer's imagination . Head out to watch white tiger and drop in your views about the film .
