Re: Aravind Adiga: The White Tiger
What kpjayan said, although by and large even fiction in our Indian languages touches more on the oppression of the so-called lower castes more often than it plays out scenarios of vengeance or come-uppance. Some of those on the privileged side of the fence try to call this a non-issue, but the evils of casteism are very much alive and well, while a small percentage of monied people from these castes soak up all the benefits intended for their still downtrodden brethren.
