Real estate developer Dharmen Shah rose from nothing to create an empire, and hopes to seal his legacy with a building named the Shanghai, which promises to be one of Mumbai's most elite addresses. When Shah offers a generous buyout to the residents of a crumbling apartment building on whose site this luxury high-rise would be built, they can't believe their good fortune. All but one: a retired schoolteacher called Masterji, who refuses to abandon his home.

Summary/Abstract |
Meet Balram Halwai, the 'white tiger': servant, philosopher, entrepreneur, murderer… Born in a village in the dark heart of India, the son of a rickshaw puller, Balram is taken out of school and put to work in a teashop. As he crushes coal and wipes tables, he nurses a dream of escape. His big chance comes when a rich landlord hires him as a chauffeur for his son, daughter-in-law, and their two Pomeranian dogs. From behind the wheels of a Honda, Balram sees Delhi and begins to see how the Tiger might escape his cage. For surely any successful man must spill a little blood on his way to the top? The White Tiger is a tale of two Indias. Balram's journey from the darkness of village life to the light of entrepreneurial success is utterly amoral, brilliantly irreverent, deeply endearing and altogether unforgettable.
