Read this amazing book by Arvind Adiga...White Tiger which is also the winner of The Man Booker Prize 2008 is a dark comedy on our Indian society....Its a satirical account of our Indian society and its norms where on one side we claim that we are on our way to be a superpower and on the other hand we are still clinging to old ways of suppressing the poor and downtrodden....
The author has wonderfully portrayed the way in which servants are treated in the smaller cities and villages and the mentality of both master and servants. Its a satire on the entire indian family system which writer has compared with a chicken coop and how one servant rises up to rebel and treads his way towards his own "start up" in this booming economy where entrepreneurship is the most happening thing currently.
All in all a very interesting read :)
