Midnight’s Children: Rushdie’s Mosaic of Post-colonial Politics, War and Liberation

Author(s) Dev Prakash Yadav, Raju Parghi
Country India
Abstract Tracing the causes behind major socio-political changes in India and the circumstances that led a nation towards civil war and division, Salman Rushdie’s Midnight’s Children is the saga of migration, colonial legacy, power, identity and chaotic situation of country left behind by the Britishers. Rushdie’s narration becomes the allegory of nation when Saleem, the protagonist of the novel, gets a letter from Pt. Jawaharlal Nehru. Pt. Nehru greets the midnight’s child and considers his growth and downfall, the growth and downfall of the nation. Through his magical power of telepathy, he arranges a midnight conference where all the children, who were born in the midnight of Independence Day, participate to discuss the situation of India. Saleem is an archetypal of Homi K. Bhabha’s theory of hybridity who seems omnipresent in entire country. At one time he was a landlord in Uttar Pradesh and on another he was starving to death in Orissa. Finally, the book depicts the Emergency Period and the gruesome steps taken by Indira Gandhi to save her throne of premiership.
