This shows us that Mr Ashok doesn't understand how difficult and tough the lives can be of the poorer people. By mr Ashok saying he wants to be a simple man
Like Balram shows to the readers that he obviously doesn't know what it would actually be like.

I chose this because it resembles the corruption in India about the elections and their system

The rich eg. Ashok's Family bribes the politicians in favor of their party so that everything goes in their way and not in to the poor (people living in the Darkness)

The theme would be corruption as it would represent India as a corrupt country compared to America as it is a consistent theme throughout the novel

This quote highlights that the elections in India are corrupt. This relates to the rest of the novel because the theme of corruption constantly arises. Another example of corruption in the text is that Ashok is only in India to pay of ministers for his father’s coal business. Balram is sick of all this corruption and it is one of his biggest dislikes of India because it means that he can never be a free man.

This quote shows that Mr Ashok isn't grateful for what he has, it also shows that he doesn't actually understand the troubles and the hard times the poorer people have to go through. By Mr Ashok saying he wants to be a simple man like Balram shows to us that he doesn't recognise the kind of lives these poor people live.

This shows that Balram is not happy with his meager existence as a servant driver, finding out his best case future life doesn't satisfy him, I believe this is when he decides to make sure he does not surrender to this "Best Case?" scenario that he's not happy with.

‘sixty rupees. Would you believe that? Sixty rupees for a used magazine. And there’s a fellow in Khan Market who sells magazines from England that cost five hundred and eight rupees each! Would you believe that?’
I raised my head to the sky and whistled. ‘Amazing how much money they have,’ I said, aloud, yet as if talking to myself. ‘And yet they treat us like animals.’

In this quote, Balram ultimately takes orders from the fat man while Mr Ashok was sitting there drinking his whisky; Ashok did not say anything to defend Balram, however, the relationship between the master and servant here as he takes orders from a corrupted man who ordered Ashok around. But Balram fails to disappoint Ashok and takes the orders from the fat man and this relationship will continue to stand until his deathbed.

Balram expressed his built up anger and rage after he dropped off Mr. Ashok and his female friend in the city to party. He was sick and tired of being just the servant and having no luxuries, he finally goes past his tipping point and disobeys his masters orders by damaging the car. When he mistreats the car, at that time he feels as though he is a powerful leader, playing the car music loud, putting the A/C on. However, as time passes, he comes to the realization that he is still a servant stuck in the rooster coop which he is yet to escape, thus he cleans up his mess and feels a sense of guilt.

Symbolises how Balram is becoming more and more like his master Ashok . Balram has noticed Ashok becoming weaker especially after Pinky Madam left, and Balram begins to gain control later on, by cheating Ashok by selling petrol money and driving around without Ashok's permission. So as Ashok is becoming more corrupted by sleeping around and getting drunk, Balram is also increasingly becoming more corrupted

This quote again shows how close Balram wants to be Mr. Ashok, by following almost exactly what he does. As he goes onto say how Mr. Ashok becomes corrupted he begins to think how won’t he (just a driver) get corrupted.

Although Balram doesn’t really see himself becoming corrupt, he notices the possibility after Mr. Ashok changes once coming from America as an innocent man.
Even though Balram envies Ashok, he does not want to become corrupt

Balram is unhappy that his master Ashok has sullied himself once again. The idealised view that Balram tells us he once had of his master has unravelled over the course of the novel. His wife has left him, he has acted like a "pathetic baby" and now he is with a blond haired prostitute in a hotel.
Ashok expresses his disgust by spitting on the seats of the Honda Civic, punching the ogre and gnawing on the wheel. These actions are symbolic acts of defiance and frustration and tie in with his previous act of spitting at God at the Fort. The chapter concludes with a deep sense of foreboding as Balram talks, metaphorically, to the city of Delhi. There are ominous references to "blood on the streets".
There is a sense here that Balram is portraying the gradual disappearance of Ashok, perhaps as an attempt to justify his decision to eliminate him and adopt his identity.
