Journal Title: International Journal of English and Literature (IJEL) - Year 2017, Vol 7, Issue 1
Abstract
Aravind Adiga, who is an Indian as well as Australian Journalist and author, has won Britain’s most prestigious literary award – The Man Booker Award for his book “The White Tiger.” In his novels, there is a strong social criticism and message that unruly situations will only increase, until social inequalities are removed. Adiga explores power-relations, the quiet anger of the subaltern of those who are oppressed whether it is the minorities or poor. Regarding characterization, Adiga’s pains taking description of people from all spas of life makes him an efficient critic of the modern India. And about his style, like Charles Dickens and R.K. Narayan, he has described the beauty, simultaneous simplicity and complexity of mundane life in India. Aravind Adiga, a socially committed novelist has produced a good deal of literature. His novels fall mainly into two categories, social and autobiographical. He has focused his attention on the sufferings, misery and dejection of the destitute as a result of the exploitation of the downtrodden citizens of the Indian Society. Religious hypocrisy, feudal system, the place of women in the society, poverty, hunger and exploitation are some of his common themes. In all his novels Aravind Adiga sends a social message to the people of India pertaining to modern Indian Society and how the poor people survive in crushing poverty. His great works represent to us the lives of India's poor in a practical and sympathetic manner.
