Negotiating the Socio-economic Veracities and Inequalities in the White Tiger and Ghachar Ghochar

Abstract

The White Tiger" by Aravind Adiga reconnoiters leitmotifs such as social discrimination, the skirmish for ascendant kinesis and the possessions of globalization on contemporary India. The innovative probes into the unembellished split between the opulent and the meager predominantly through the lens of the protagonist, Balram Halwai, who upsurges from his penurious contextual to become an efficacious tycoon. One bulbous refrain is the sleaze and manipulation that pervade Indian culture as seen through Balram's familiarities occupied as a chauffeur for an affluent clan. Balram wrestles with his own distinctiveness as he traverses the intricacies of social class and status in India, eventually counterfeiting his own trail in a swiftly varying realm. Overall, "The White Tiger" tenders a derisive appraisal of the socio-economic landscape of contemporary India while also providing a nuanced probe of discrete agency and the quest of sovereignty.

“Ghachar Ghochar” is bursting with sardonic whimsical streaks like that one where Shanbhag, and his decipherer, Srinath Perur have rendered sentiments and even arbitrary thoughts in semantic that's as pungent as those zings the clan is publicizing. Shanbhag boons as trimly incrusted a social hallucination of Bangalore. Shanbhag's Bangalore is crammed with mysterious skivvies and the ease lineups and teachers and other "intellect arrows" who are crammed in the middle. When our raconteur espouses, his consort, whose appellation is Anita and her clan belong in that last sort and that's a delinquent. Anita interrogations the clan set-up too copious. She derisions the craving her spouse and in-laws have on that somewhat warped uncle who tracks the clanz in realm. Perplexing that uncle could cost our raconteur his opulence.
