Salman Rushdie is an Indian-born British writer whose works combining magical realism with historical fiction, is primarily concerned with the many connections, disruptions, and migrations between Eastern and Western civilizations, with much of his fiction being set on the Indian subcontinent. On the other hand, V.S Naipaul is a Trinidadian writer of Indian descent known for his pessimistic novels set in developing countries. Postcolonial literature is a body of literary writings that reacts to the discourse of colonization. Post-colonial literature often involves writings that deal with issues of de-colonization or the political and cultural independence of people formerly subjugated to colonial rule. The present study attempts to apply a postcolonial approach to V.S. Naipaul's A House for Mr Biswas and Salman Rushdie’s Midnight’s Children. Both these novels draw the reader’s attention to various traits of Postcolonial literature such as appropriation of colonial languages, colonialism, hybridity, decolonization struggles and many more.
