The paper entitled "Negative impacts of Globalisation in Aravind Adiga's 'The White Tiger' attempts to explore the unequal results of globalization that is negative impact of globalization. Obviously globalization helps to develop a nations' growth on the other hand it brings changes in our own culture, widen the gap between the rich and the poor and it affects our own language. It kindles people's desire to become rich. Through kindle people's desire it changes the character of the people. Globalisation changes the mundane as murderer. Adiga, in 'White Tiger' through the character of 'Balram'clearlyportrays all these changes. By his writings Adiga showcases how the impulse to become rich makes people act less compassionate and humane in the age of globalization. He has got The Man Booker Prize for his real portrayal of this society as 'The White Tiger'. It explores how the greed to become rich makes people more self-centred and provokes them to do dirty, unimaginable things to other fellow-beings. In reality, globalization, which seems to have contributed to the growth of developing nations, actually has widened the gap between the rich and the poor in developing nations. Because of globalisation the unquenchable desire for wealth drives the middle class and thunder privileged to indulge in criminal activities. An attempt has been made to explore this reprehensible acquisitiveness of the people which makes them more self-centred and inhumane with reference toAdiga's 'The White Tiger'. It paves way for multiculturalism. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper aims to critically evaluate Mohsin Hamid's How to Get Filthy Rich in Rising Asia as a critique of globalisation and its harmful impact on Pakistan's economy and society. Hamid s novel discusses globalisation as an economic world order, which has failed to ensure economic development in terms of eliminating economic class divisions, and poor living and health conditions amongst unprivileged groups in developing countries, such as that of Pakistan. The text highlights globalisation as the expansion of global capital, which has established the hegemonic power of the multinational corporations and financial institutions, weakened the control of the state, and, with its 'market ethos' and through its corporate networking, promoted a culture of materialism and commodity in Pakistan. The author also draws our attention to the absence of a coherent economic and social policy in Pakistan, which can administer the free flow of capital and accordingly encounter profit-oriented workings of business corporate. As a result, as the text illustrates. Pakistan has failed to improve Us economy and social conditions. The text offers numerous references concerning unplanned urban sprawl, urban and rural slums, a lack of power and other living facilities, a lack of proper education and health services, corruption and environmental degradation.all ofv.'hich. when combined, show that globalisation, with its free flow of capital, technology and new media, has failed to achieve its developmental aims in Pakistan.
