Contrary View

In discussion on Wednesday, it was mainly agreed that Balram creating a “school of White Tigers” is classified as “Balram creating a school of corrupt people who would one day end up the same way as him and eventually kill their master (which will be Balram) in an attempt to succeed and make it out of poverty”. I thought about Balram’s school of White Tigers and considered from a contrasting and optimistic approach (since it is simple to be optimistic and in favor for the main character). If Balram creates a school for the underprivileged kids, I think the school would be enrolled with White Tigers because the founder/father of the school is a White Tiger. In other words, Balram would be “the father” to the children who attend the school; Balram is the provider and source of this opportunity. “White Tiger” would arise from the “children taking after father” trait. Another reason why the children could take on the title of “White Tiger” is because they will receive an education and benefit from Balram’s “White Tiger” instance. After all, if Balram had not killed Ashock and taken the bag of rupees, the school would not exist. The “White Tiger” is what allows for the opportunity to create the school. In addition, these children who attend the school will receive an education which is a necessary step for their future out of poverty in a calm and peaceful way (Balram’s giving back to the people for his unpleasant incident).
