Hello , Readers!!!!!
Very warmly welcome to my Academic work page. Here is my blog on Thinking activity about"The White Tiger" by Arvind Adiga. I hope u enjoy while reading my blog.so, here I am presenting my views upon novel .
• "The White Tiger" by Arvind Adiga:-
Que :- 1] How far do you agree with the India represented in the novel The White Tiger?
Ans :- If I say according to my point of view, then i am strongly agree with that the India is very well presented in this novel.Till India is known as Progressive country, dirty, full covered with religion and rituals, low education, Believers in god, fully kneeting with politics. So, these all features are somehow presented in the novel by Adiga on it proper place.On the other side, here in novel , it represents the real India , not the dramatic or fantasy world. It represents our India as it is.One scene in movie when villian are taking main actress from Jamal ,at that time he was helpless, he is not able to do anything. So, in real it is happening while in movie,it is quite more Masaledar.
• India's election,politics,Democracy :-
Indian faith on God:-
sides—the temple. Inside, you will find an image of a saffron-colored creature, half man half monkey: this is Hanuman, everyone's favorite god in the Darkness. Do you know about Hanuman, sir? He was the faithful servant of the god Rama, and we worship him in our temples because he is a shining example of how to serve your masters with absolute fidelity, love, and devotion. These are the kinds of gods they have foisted on us, Mr. Jiabao. Understand, now, how hard it is for a man to win his freedom in India.In India many of the people who are uneducated and they want to make money by putting faith in God. They want to become more richer and richer. So, Here Arvind Adiga represents the story of an ordinary man named Balram who is a driver and want to become rich.
Que :- 2] Do you believe that Balram's story is the archetype of all stories of 'rags to riches'?
Ans :- Yes, I believe that Balram's story is the archetypal of all stories of 'rags to riches' because Balram is an ordinary and driver. He want to become rich for that he has done alot of work hard. He observed everything and makes plan and then atlast he succeeded. We have numerous examples of big person who have succeed because of their hard work not because of their luck.
Que :- 3] Write a blog on similarities between The White Tiger and Slumdog Millionaire. Include following points:-
• 1. Narrative structure - Wanted Poster # KBC show:-
Ans:- So, We can find same Narrative in the novel and the movie . In novel and movie both are using different kind of gymic. As in movie Jamal is describing with #KBC show. In novel Balram is reading poster one by one and he is seeing some wanted pictures as he kills his master. But when we look into the movie,than Jamal is very brilliant, intelligent and fast observer boy. When he is giving answer than it opens some pages of his past, story is folding with some new kind of chapter.Both Narration goes parreral as both are talking about India and it's culture or history (past). Novel and movie both reaches on their top and trying to showing us best.
• 2] Indianness:-
So ,if we talk about how far Indianness is presented or not?Arvind adiga has potrayed the real picture of India with it's dirtiness,local bad language,it's politics, it's lifestyle which we don't like to see . One example of laterin which is a big issue of that time and also repeat in current time also.What is condition of Laterin in our India is directly showing in movie. In movie there was a scene when Jamal is guide the tourist at that time ,her brother and his friends stolen the car and it's thing,there the director has vanished or try to make more beautiful other citizens rather than India. They are not so good or kind by heart as they are described.So, there are some up and down with minor thing.Otherwise India is well presented by it's thought,views, culture and so on.

Que :- 4] On what grounds can u deconstruct the film with reference to post colonial tools / theories.
Ans :- On the one example I want to deconstruct the film, which I have already given above. The scene of Britishers who came to visit and take Jamal as a guide and when Jamal's brother steal their car at that time they are portraying as so kind and helpful,in real it is not so. As they believe them as superior and Indians as inferior or less.The director has to keep note that if hw want to put truth in movie than he should not much clear the scene of Britishers, he has to put it normal only than it would be effective.
Que :- 5] Compare with Texture and Treatment of subject content in film and novel.
Ans :- About treatment and texture there are same context like : poverty,issue of family, politics, power of money, slavery, corruption, scene of murder and Education. Here I say that I much like Movie's Texture and treatment because there was a deep thinking and it covers education. Whatever happens with Jamal but he never goes on bad way ,in the sense with knowledge and observations he taught alot things. With the support of Eduardo he became rich. To build a strong plot with the education is a hard thing. Both leading character wants to become rich, reach on same place, but the way they have choose are different.so,in that case movie is more important and reliable.
Thank you.......
