White Tiger is quite an interesting story digging into the vices of the society.It is also somewhat frightening as after reading it it is initially difficult to place trust on your own employees.

True; but, if you carefully track the background of the driver and his masters, you will realize that the average urban employer (we) of today are neither that corrupt, nor that tyrant.
Warmly,

Yes, but then you also have to admit the growing divide between the rich and the poor which again instigates the human greed

I am not sure whether the divide between the rich and the poor is really 'growing'. What studies do you have to substantiate it?

Kolkata (help•info) (Bengali: কলকাতা ; IPA: [ˈkolkat̪a]), formerly Calcutta (help•info), is the capital of the Indian state of West Bengal. It is located in eastern India on the east bank of the River Hooghly.[1] When referred to as Calcutta, it usually includes the suburbs, and thus its population exceeds 15 million,[2] making it India's third-largest metropolitan area and urban agglomeration. This also makes it the world's 8th largest metropolitan area as defined by the United Nations.[3] Kolkata served as the capital of India during the British Raj until 1911. Once the centre of modern education, industry, science, culture and politics in India, Kolkata has witnessed intense political violence, clashes and economic stagnation since 1954. Since the year 2000, economic rejuvenation has spurred on the city's growth. Like other metropolitan cities in India, Kolkata continues to struggle with the problems of urbanisation: poverty, pollution and traffic congestion. Kolkata is noted for its revolutionary history, ranging from the Indian struggle for independence to the leftist and trade union movements.
