| Abstract | Salman Rushdie, one of the most notorious writers of Indian Diaspora, settled in England, shot into fame through his stunning success, Midnight’s Children. The symbolic novel The Satanic Verses infuriated Muslim fundamentalists who issued a fatwa sentencing Rushdie to death. The literary significance of Midnight’s Children is linked with a style of writing or technique that incorporates magical or supernatural events into realistic narrative without questioning the improbability of the events. Midnight’s Children won for him Booker of Bookers prize in 1993. In 2008 it was selected as The Best of Bookers. This paper attempts to show how the concept of magic realism is applicable to Midnight's Children and its impact to the literary work. The attribution of physical attributes to abstract the inner entities is well reflected. Various themes and elements of magic realism like the themes of diversity, dislocation, immigration and disintegration are symbolically used in various incidents in the text. |
