Why is everyone here so triggered by the White Tiger? That’s how the majority of India lives, please get outside your white collar bubbles. And stop saying “the media always shows poverty”, they also released shows like Bollywood Wives and Indian Matchmaking.

Glorifying poverty from a third world country is like saying lets show hungry kids from Africa to grab eyeballs, does not mean it doesn’t exist, just means its exploitative and kinda stereotypical

So it should not be shown?

First of all they did not make the movie to portray India one way or the other - it based on a book - written by an Indian ; go read it first and then get triggered 😃

Loved the book! It was way better than the movie

It's a freaking fantastic movie. I read the book ages ago, it was good and, I don't say this often, the movie adaptation is even better.

What’s there to be triggered about? There is a difference between poverty porn making/adapting a movie whose clear and honest objective is to show the class divide. Exploitative movies were Bandit Queen, City of Joy made purely for the western audience’s pleasure

Interesting. Let’s see if the uptick In cases continues to drive an uptick in hospitalizations and then in fatalities. Depends on how many of the cases are incidental or in very young people not prone to severe cases. But either way, look at the hospital capacity utilization figures! This is the untold story. Were we bending the curve to avoid unnecessary deaths due to overcrowded hospitals, or were we bending the curve to buy time for treatments and vaccine, or just to slow fatalities?
