Default Re: Aravind Adiga: The White Tiger

It's Indian critics this time:

Indians fear Aravind Adiga's 'The White Tiger' says too much about them - Telegraph

These Indian use words like "stereotype", "tedious", "unfunny". I think the core of the matter is that the man is a privileged outsider, writing about what it's like to be a poor person. Something doesn't square somehow.
