Balram Halwai is a poor Indian who is smart and looking for a way out of his poverty. He ends up as a driver for a wealthy family in Delhi and begins to learn their secrets and how things work in politics and business. Balram starts thinking about leaving the "rooster cage" a way in which poor people are held back even by their peers in India. Everything is structured to keep people from moving between classes. In the end, Balram takes a chance and grabs an opportunity. He ends up a successful businessman now playing by the rules of the system he loves to hate. I listened to the audio version of this book and enjoyed the reader immensely.
