My brain sometimes is in Eurocentric mode and that makes Ann crazy. When we where traveling in India she gave me her White Tiger book in a effort to make me understand better the country.
It is a very easy to read book that explains in a very simplistic way how the political system works in the poorest democracy (where the lives of the poor people have no value), the new caste system (people with money and big bellies and poor people) and the differences between the darkness (India small villages on the mainland that are still ruled on a feudalism style) and the Light (The big Indian cities)
White Tiger is a captivating read with a lot of brilliant moments!
