Unveiling the Realities of India in Aravind Adiga's The White Tiger and Kiran Desai's The Inheritance of Loss

Abstract

This research paper endeavors to demarcate as well as summarize the most important issues as well as the explorations for the realization of the plot and plan in Aravind Adiga’s The White Tiger and Kiran Desai’s The Inheritance of Loss. Adiga’s The White Tiger exposes all that lies beneath the glossy appearance of present India. His development from the India Darkness to the India of Light undergoes many changes. It is through these changes that he learns many facts about India. He is born in a poor family of a typical village representing the rural India where people are living a very miserable life. Balram names this rural India the paradise of India. Kiran Desai’s The Inheritance of Loss, shows a shifting focus of strategically speaking, the constant shift between insurgency in India and the immigrant experience in New York with the alternation of the two plot-components of the novel dealing with the predicaments of Sai and Biju respectively, not only develops the spectrum of the discourse of women and the subaltern in the novel, but also shapes the narrative purpose of re-situating these issues in the perspective of postcolonial trauma of alienation in a globalized and multicultural world.
