Abstract

The paper entitled "Negative impacts of Globalisation in Aravind Adiga's 'The White Tiger' attempts to explore the unequal results of globalization that is negative impact of globalization. Obviously globalization helps to develop a nations' growth on the other hand it brings changes in our own culture, widen the gap between the rich and the poor and it affects our own language. It kindles people's desire to become rich. Through kindle people's desire it changes the character of the people. Globalisation changes the mundane as murderer. Adiga, in 'White Tiger' through the character of 'Balram'clearlyportrays all these changes. By his writings Adiga showcases how the impulse to become rich makes people act less compassionate and humane in the age of globalization. He has got The Man Booker Prize for his real portrayal of this society as 'The White Tiger'. It explores how the greed to become rich makes people more self-centred and provokes them to do dirty, unimaginable things to other fellow-beings. In reality, globalization, which seems to have contributed to the growth of developing nations, actually has widened the gap between the rich and the poor in developing nations. Because of globalisation the unquenchable desire for wealth drives the middle class and thunder privileged to indulge in criminal activities. An attempt has been made to explore this reprehensible acquisitiveness of the people which makes them more self-centred and inhumane with reference toAdiga's 'The White Tiger'. It paves way for multiculturalism. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
