Aravind Adiga’s The White Tiger:The Voice of Underclass-A Postcolonial Dialectics

In the post colonial dialectics ‘subaltern’ or ‘underclass’ occupies prominent place which incorporates the entire people that is subordinate in terms of class, caste, age, gender, and office, or in any other way. It is the subject position that defines subalternity. Even when it operates in terms of class, age and gender, it is more psychological than physical. The lack and deprivation, loneliness and alienation, subjugation and subordination, the resignation and silence, the resilence and neglect mark the lives of subaltern, even when they resist and rise up, they feel bounded and defeated by their subject positions. They have no representatives or spokesperson in the society they live in and so helplessly suffer and get marginal place or no place at all in the history and culture of which they are the essential part as human beings.
