Abstract

The article explores the techniques of magical realism in Salman Rushdie's novel "Midnight's Children," highlighting how Rushdie uses a magical-realist code to present India's history from a post-colonial perspective. The novel, which won the Booker Prize three times, intertwines magical and real stories, creating an allegorical narrative that reflects India's diverse cultural and religious landscape. Rushdie's use of magical elements, superstitions, prophecies, and historical events blurs the line between reality and fantasy, making "Midnight's Children" a complex and captivating work of post-colonial literature.
