Salman Rushdie, one of the most powerful modern writers, has emerged as a major novelist delineating the contemporary scene on the Indian sub-continent. In the novel, Midnight’s Children, he uses a different variety of literary techniques and styles in the telling of Saleem Sinai’s story. So, the novel looks funny, dark, ironic, allegorical and historical. The language ranges from colloquial to eloquently lyrical. Rushdie uses a whole new set of literary terms to make the novel large and grand as its subject matter. In addition, there is an obvious relationship between Rushdie’s prose and the cinema, an important part of Bombay culture.
