Further reading and viewing from The White Tiger

A House for Mr. Biswas by V.S. Naipul explores the psychology of breaking free of a stratified society. The story takes place in Trinidad and the characters are part of the Indian dispora the British brought to the Caribbean. It's a slower read than The White Tiger but more nuanced and well worth checking out.

Deepa Mehta's Water depicts India in 1947 through the eyes of a group of widows. Set against the backdrop of Ghandi's transformation of the country, the film portrays the rigidity of traditional Indian society.
