Primary
The film's central thesis explicitly critiques systemic class inequality and the exploitation of the poor by the wealthy elite, portraying a society where social mobility is nearly impossible without radical, morally ambiguous actions.

The White Tiger features an entirely Indian cast, reflecting its setting and story of class struggle. The narrative offers a strong and explicit critique of traditional power structures and socio-economic inequality within Indian society, portraying the oppressive elite negatively through the protagonist's journey for liberation.
Secondary

Through Balram's cynical narration, the narrative critiques these societal manifestations as problematic, showing his journey as a rejection of these constraints to achieve liberation.
