India is a vast and diverse nation where numerous dialects are spoken by the individuals of various castes and religions. The theme of India or the Indian identity is a well-conferred area in literature mostly in Indian Writing in English. The White Tiger is a pressing commentary on the socio-cultural and political India. It presents itself as an unravelling of the hidden darkness of India and as a voice of the underclass. The success of the Indian writers has been their ability to bring out the flavour of India, its regional systems, Society at large and the ways of its polity and officialdom. Aravind Adiga's The White Tiger actually paints a contemptuous and demeaning picture of Indian society. He actually through this literary work addresses the malaise of social inequality in India. He brings across the social aspirations of an ambitious but impoverished youth and his struggle to move into the upper echelons of society without scruples. The novel is essentially a social form, and it explores the conditions and circumstances of human beings of a particular class and their mental struggle and actions leading to this narrative. The present assessment of this paper appropriately incorporates the social issues inside the novel.
