The White Tiger.
Aravind Adiga in “The White Tiger” tells the story of Balram, a village boy turned “servant” driver turned entrepreneur. In living the rags-to-riches, Indian dream, Balram first suffers from and then participates in India’s imbalance between rich and poor. The book is very one-sided though, as it ignores all of India’s recent economic and social achievements. However, it is as entertaining as it is brutally critical and is an awesome read.
My favorite part is below:
Addressed to the Premier of China: “…despite your triumphs in sewage, drinking water, and Olympic gold medals, [you] still don’t have democracy. We Indians…may not have sewage, drinking water, and Olympic gold medals, but we do have democracy. If I were making a country, I’d get the sewage pipes first, then the democracy.”

I bought this book when I was in Delhi. I loved it! Everyone should read it.
I found your blog through the AIF website and have been following it for the last month. It seems like you are having an awesome experience.
I also just realized how small the world is when you posted a picture of Aniket, I went to Penn with him.
Anyways thanks for the book recommendations, I just bought The White Tiger, I’m excited to read it.
