Thinking activity: The white tiger


Thinking activity: The white tiger

  • Hello my dear readers. This task about white tiger by Aravind adiga's. Task given by Dr Dilip barad sir.



About : Aravind Adiga



Born: 23, October 1974 in  Chennai.
Aravind Adiga is an Indo-Australian writer and journalist. His debut novel, The White Tiger, won the 2008 Man Booker Prize.What does writer by saying that somethings are better said in English language?

1) All  do not Know better English Lagrange so Better said in English language . We write freely and truth in English. While we write about religion and politic in Gujarati so many people conflict with us. But we write in English so many people do not know  perfectly English so we write freely , better and truth.     



2 )Howfar do you agree with the India represented in the novel The White Tiger?



Yes of course I agree India presented in the novel The white tiger. I agree about curation, Religion and tradition marrieds.and many situation.While many situation present by Balram Halvai character of white tiger novel. Vikram Hallway gave to importance of education. He want to study of him son. so I See many Parents want to their children get to education.So I agree novel present situation of India. While Curation,Education, Religion, And Tradition, class conflict,job situation,  But many people belong to nonviolence in India.

3)Do you believe that Balram's story is the archetype of all stories of 'rags to riches'?

Yes, I believe that Balram's story is the archetypal of all stories of 'rags to riches' because Balram is an ordinary and driver. He want to become rich for that he has done alot of work hard. He observed everything and makes plan and then atlast he succeeded. We have numerous examples of big person who have succeed because of their hard work not because of their luck.


4 )Whatblog on similarities between The White Tiger and Slumdog Millionaire. Include following points:

  •  Narrative structure - Wanted Poster # KBC show

 Both have same narrative structure but aim are different.  while KBC show  in Jamal ween in KBC show . So he become hero. Jamal ween in KBC  because of He struggle with situation. and Balram character different because He became hero by wanted poster. Balram want become rich and he accept  short cut style. but Jamal Face all situation next he become rich. Both accept different style. Jamal character good but Balram character not good. I think Jamal is good narrator but Balram narrator is accept Wrong dissension.Both want to become rich but both are different.

When Balram  use wrong style become rich. One people ask about wanted poster of Balram so Balram give to answer wrong he say about I keep terrorist so one man believe about balram is hero so that is wrong. and Jamal ween in KBC because He passed in all situation.


  • Indianness

We can see in novel and movie represent of indianness. While Purity, hard work, struggle, politics, religion ext. And movie represent of Dirty place of India. when Jamal is guide the tourist at that time ,her brother and his friends stolen the car and it's thing,there the director has vanished or try to make more beautiful other citizens rather than India. They are not so good or kind by heart as they are described. hat is condition of Laterin in our India is directly showing in movie.  
the director has vanished or try to make more beautiful other citizens rather than so that is problematic .

  • On what grounds can u deconstruct the film with reference to post colonial tools / theories

  Example: Danny Boyle  represent real India in movie but Indian Director dint represent real India. But Danny Boyle represent of British people are good in movie.it is not perfect  when British visit to India that time Jamal Guide of British. Jamal brother and friend steal car of British so Indian driver to hit of Jamal so British save of Jamal and British say of Jamal. You steal car . However  we gave money. 




  •  Compare with Texture and Treatment of subject content in film and novel.




 About treatment and texture there are same context like : poverty,issue of family, politics, power of money, slavery, corruption, scene of murder and Education. Here I say that I much like Movie's Texture and treatment because there was a deep thinking and it covers education. Whatever happens with Jamal but he never goes on bad way ,in the sense with knowledge and observations he taught alot.




Thanks my dear readers
