Abstract

Abstract

In the bygone age the social issues used to be dowry, death, unemployment, child labor, discrimination, casticism etc, are restored by the modern affairs like gang rape, terrorism, prostitution, gambling, crime, corruption, but poverty and illiteracy are the main evils that still exist. The modern Indian novelist Aravind Adiga highlighted mainly these current social issues, poverty, illiteracy and unemployment. In modern epoch you will come across modern affairs like quest for identity, loneliness, alienation, sense of non-belonging and existential crisis which are reflected on the pages of novel The White Tiger. He has an enormous contribution that offers various formulas for the complexities and concerns in the society. Rehabitiliation is one of the most upcoming social matters of contention in the modern era. The writing of Aravind Adiga revolves around the social life of a mundane man. The pathetic condition of underdog is deeply presented by Adiga and what compels a common man to commit murder, to rob people and to force the people to go on off beam path. He has explored the authenticity of the life and presented the intimate views of the social life of common masses. The characters of Aravind Adiga are too much real, his characters and situations are also real rather than supernatural. In the modern literature social affairs are analyzed by the modern novelists? like- Shashi Deshpandey, Rabindranath Tagore, Aravind Adiga and others. They did not only explore the veracity of society but they suggested the proper treatment of evil, which still exists in our society. The perception of this paper is to make people realize their misconception associated to the social evils. People grant their significance to the social troubles rather than solutions. Community issues and problems are not prominent but the right treatment for these kinds of issues is prominent. Because the treatments of the social harms are not to forget but to face and finish otherwise these social issues will become inexhaustible and apart from that ?Prevention is better than cure?. Awareness is the most significant remedy for such societal problems.
