Abstract: Arvind Adiga has emerged as a strong writer who has emphatically given voice to the social evils of our contemporary postmodern and post-colonial world— both rural and urban . His debut novel The White Tiger is a prominent signature in the realm of Indian writing in English. In the novel he has meticulously depicted the social evils like corruption and poverty in India which are really dangerous and causing real nuisance in society. Aravind Adiga through his novel tries to throw light on the ugly side of social problems to show how such problems have created incorrigible circumstances to the under privileged Indians even in the twenty-first century.

Keywords: Caste, discrimination, society, corruption, poverty, rural, Zamindari, identity.
