Talk:The White Tiger (Adiga novel)

Problems regarding the article
I don't quite know how to edit the talk page, but I'll just put my comments here. I must take issue with this article. First of all there is a "Trivia" section, discouraged by Wikipedia, and there was usage of the first person i.e. "Suffice to say that I was reminded of..." It's the person's own view, and a highly personalized literary analysis. That's not how an encyclopedia article should be. I'd fix it myself but I have yet to read the book and I'm very busy, so sorry to seem like a hypocrite. Anyway... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.55.85.58 (talk) 07:35, 11 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Agreed. I'll put in a template to indicate the problems of this article. I haven't read the book either, so I wouldn't be the first guy to correct the POV crap in the article. I guess putting in a notification (which I'll do in a few moments from now) will at least indicate that the article is not perfect.Leif edling (talk) 17:15, 11 November 2008 (UTC)


 * I've tried to hack the article down to remove personal opinion (and over-reliance on [incoherent] quotations from reviews). I've reverted to a version from a few weeks ago and tidied up a little bit.  I've subsequently add a couple of paragraphs to describe the novel's structure / framing device more clearly.  Anyway, I hope this helps.  Cheers, --P LUMBAGO  13:38, 26 November 2008 (UTC)
 * P.S. In passing, I finished the book last night and was just curious to see what WP had to say about it.

There is a section which states that Balram quotes 36,000,004 Hindu gods. He actually states there 36,000,000 Hindu gods, one Muslim god, and three Christian gods for a total of 36,000,004. I changed it to 36,000,000 and had it edited back. I'm going to change it to 36,000,000 again. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dyersgoodness (talk • contribs) 20:38, 14 April 2010 (UTC)

Damn did someone decided to copy and paste their entire high school English critical analysis essay into this page or what???? There is an entire section that’s written like that and is not how an encyclopaedia should be like — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.229.27.17 (talk) 19:58, 12 May 2015 (UTC)

Title Disambiguation
I suggest that the title be changed to The White Tiger (Adiga), consistently with The White Tiger (Nathan).--Ithunn (talk) 13:24, 8 September 2010 (UTC)

Critical Reception
Needs a critical reception section. I'm to lazy to write this. Somebody else do it. xx — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.42.72.32 (talk) 20:38, 5 March 2013 (UTC)
