Salman Rushdie, a postmodernist immigrant, is regarded as one of the greatest novels of the 20th century. His magic realism method incorporates mythology, religion, history, fantasy, and humor into the real world. He makes an effort to reenact the cultural crisis in his art and reinvent it for the postcolonial era. His work focuses on India's history, politics, and identity as seen through his narrators. He weaves real-world information with his fantastical fiction. Rushdie does not claim to be omniscient because he only sees things in pieces, which is a must for any realistic story. He won't present any entirely personal characters because of this. Salman Rushdie encourages women to struggle to break free from their oppressive roles through his writings. He has been effective in developing strong female heroines who face life with great fortitude and strength rather than allowing their personal traumas to overwhelm them.

Fantasy, fortitude, Immigrant, mythology, trauma.
