" The white Tiger "  by Arvind Adiga , novel provides a darkly humorous perspective of india ' s class struggle in a globalized world. This novel examines issue of religion , caste , loyalty, corruption and poverty in India.
Writers like Arvind Adiga  he wrote the  novel about the darker side of India and his novel supplies a darkly humorous perspective of India’s class struggle in a globalised world. It is told through a retrospective narration from a village boy. We have many examples like Slumdog Millionaire. but, we can also say that writers has freedom of expression, they can write whatever they wants to. Sharmeen, she raise her voice against the male dominance. I am agree with the point and we have to accept the reality and change our self with appropriate situation. 
Palestinian-American scholar Edward Said's critique of Western representations of the Eastern culture in his 1978 book, Orientalism, is a seminal text for postcolonial studies and has spawned a host of theories on the subject. However, as the currency of the term "postcolonial" gained wider use, its meaning was expanded. Some consider the United States itself a postcolonial country because of its former status as a territory of Great Britain, but it is generally studied for its colonizing rather than its colonized attributes. In another vein, Canada and Australia, though former colonies of Britain, are often placed in a separate category because of their status as "settler" countries and because of their continuing membership in the British Commonwealth of Nations. Some of the major voices and works of postcolonial literature are Salman Rushdie's novel Midnight's Children (1981), Chinua Achebe's novel Things Fall Apart (1958), Michael Ondaatje's novel The English Patient (1992), Frantz Fanon's The Wretched of the Earth (1961), Jamaica Kincaid's ASmallPlace (1988), Isabelle Allende's TheHouseof theSpirits (1982), J. M. Coetzee's Waiting for the Barbariansand Disgrace (1990), Derek Walcott's Omeros (1990), and Eavan Boland's Outside History: Selected Poems, 1980-1990.
