prateekdwv 's review for:
The White Tiger
by Aravind Adiga
A criticism has to be constructive, not humiliating.
The book while was moving ahead in time from a boy in Dhanbad to an entrepreneur in Bengaluru, it just brought only the darker side of our country. Of course, that was the whole objective of this book. However, reading all that the author has written felt like India never progressed from the image of people riding on Elephants and defecating in public.
Aravind Adiga once said, "criticism by writers like Flaubert, Balzac and Dickens of the 19th century helped England and France become better societies".
In reply to which I say "That was something need of the hour. What brought England and France here will not take us there".
