The title of Midnight’s Children comes from the hour of India’s independence,  BAHDH Solved Assignment
August 15, 1947. In Rushdie’s book, all the children born at the same time
become the children of the period: “Fathered, you understand, by history.”  And  BAHIH Solved Assignment
the childrens   represent “the highest of talents of which men have ever  BAPAH Solved Assignment
dreamed”.

Saleem’s story speaks of the joyful discovery of the midnight children via his  BASOH Solved Assignment
protagonist Saleem’s own “All India Radio,” his own amazing psychic talent
that serves as a communications hub for all 1001 of the youngsters. However,  BCOMG Solved Assignment
their potential has yet to be realised. “Childhood is the name of the third

principle.” But it dies, or more accurately, it is murdered.”
 BSCG Solved Assignment
The annihilation of the Midnight’s Children, which Saleem thinks is the true
reason for India’s state of emergency, lies at the core of his dark tale. Mrs.  MCOM Solved Assignment
Gandhi, the widow, totally destroys their magical abilities by performing “test-

and-hysterectomies” on them (438). This is Rushdie’s way of expressing that
the Emergency had emasculated and castrated the nation.  MEG Solved Assignment

“Then I realised that in a nation like India, you can’t have only two children. It
has to be more than two, and if it is, why these two? I used calculators to do a
quantitative calculation on India’s birthrate and discovered that a thousand and CLOSE ADS
one children is correct” (Interview 18).

Rushdie, while writing about the Indian subcontinent, is in some ways similar
to the authors who came before him, such as Raja Rao and R. K. Narayan, but
he is also extremely different.

During India’s independence struggle, Rao’s Kanthapura was the sthalapurana,

or place legend, par excellence. His true idol is Mahatma Gandhi. In contrast to
Rao’s book, Narayan’s “Waiting for the Mahatma” is a light satire on the
ordinary Indian’s inadequate knowledge of the Gandhi-led liberation movement
while being respectful to the Mahatma. Gandhi appears in Midnight’s Children
as well, but the historical memory of independent India is so hazy that Saleem
records the date of his murder erroneously. The lapse simply serves to
emphasise the chasm that exists between modern-day Indian and Gandhian
principles.

The title Midnight’s Children refers to both the promise that the 1001 children
represented and the post-independence generation’s inability to bear the burden
of building a perfect society. Most English-language publications in India
congratulated the Midnight children, who were born on India’s fiftieth
anniversary, in an act of real life mimicking fiction! Pages

There are a total of 1001 youngsters that are awake at midnight. This statistic Home Sitemap
may be perplexing, and some may question why Rushdie selected 1001 children
rather than 1000, which is a round number. In reality, Rushdie claims in the
same interview that the number of 1001 is low, and that there are possibly
twelve or thirteen hundred infants born per hour (Interview 18). So, why did
Rushdie choose the number 1001? Because the number evokes both Subscribe Us
