Not a good ideaBy: Arun | Friday , 10 Apr '09 21:24:56 PM Reply | Forward The literature was simple and great in that book, but i don't feel he has the enough maturity to criticize many things in that book.. for example he said Tamils are Negros and Aryans are superior..who will buy these sayings..it's really absurd..He really need to think more before commenting the whole community..hope he'll get the right maturity soon..

The White TigerBy: Indrasish Banerjee | Wednesday , 19 Nov '08 12:06:50 PM Reply | Forward The White Tiger, at one level, can be thoroughly dismissed as another India-bashing book. It takes a grim view of everything Indian and slams every Indian evil – caste system, poverty, poor-rich divide, etc. – that has already undergone enough literary battering by several Indian authors writing in English. Sometimes the book makes you feel bad for being an Indian; sometimes the book makes you feel bad that you are reading it despite being an Indian.But, sadly, each time you put it down, the what-happens-next curiosity gets the better of you and you start reading it again. There lies the strength of The White Tiger. The novel is a breath-taking piece of storytelling: it is a fun read with simple language, minimal plot detours (the subplots have been skillfully weaved into the main narrative and don’t keep the reader waiting to know where the main plot is headed) and wry humour.

confused.....to congratulateBy: dinesh | Wednesday , 15 Oct '08 18:54:54 PM Reply | Forward At first i was happy,now after going through Mr Raj's comments i am confused.i reserve my congratulations to Mr Adiga.If he betrayed this country in his book certainly he doesn't deserve any appreciation from the true lovers of this land
booker prizeBy: ton | Wednesday , 15 Oct '08 15:02:50 PM Reply | Forward A fitting reply to all these boot-licking, antihindhu, literary hacks would be to organise a nice book burning like some "aryans" did in Germany in the thirties. Mr Advani and his party could even light the torch.
Best wishesBy: Venugopal | Wednesday , 15 Oct '08 14:56:06 PM Reply | Forward Heartiest Congratulations Mr Adiga!! A pround moment for the Indians! Well done and I look forward to read the "The White Tiger" at the earliest!!With fond regards
