Book Summary –

A Tiger for Malgudi is a philosophical and imaginative novel that tells the story of a tiger named Raja, who narrates his own life journey—from the wild jungles where he roamed free, to captivity in a circus, and ultimately to spiritual peace under the guidance of a sage. The novel opens with Raja in a cage at a zoo, and he begins recounting his experiences: his early life as a powerful predator, his capture, the harsh life in a circus under a brutal ringmaster, and finally, his escape and encounter with a gentle monk who teaches him compassion and self-awareness. Through Raja’s eyes, R. K. Narayan explores deep themes like freedom, suffering, transformation, and enlightenment. The story is set in the fictional South Indian town of Malgudi, a recurring backdrop in many of Narayan’s works, and blends simple prose with profound spiritual and moral questions.
