In The White Tiger, what resolutions are made of the major conflict(s) that were faced by the main characters?

In The White Tiger, the resolutions
made by the main characters are heavily influenced by the corruption of the city and the
conflicts in moral values.  For example, when Pinky Madam kills the young boy on the
street during her joy ride, Mr. Ashok must find a way to cover up his wife's crime. 
Instead of trying to be morally upright, Mr. Ashok allows corruption to guide his hand
and he and his wife pay Balram to remain silent.  They then blame the death on Balram
and the police accuse Balram of the murder.  Continuing to live under unjust men then
becomes a major conflict for Balram, and he solves his problem by gaining his economic
freedom the only way he knows how--he murders Ashok and takes a large sum of money from
him to run away and start a new life.  Balram knows that what he has done is morally
wrong; however, he feels that he took an opportunity that was handed to him as part of
the system.
