Winner of the Booker of Bookers Prize, Midnight’s Children is numbered among the major
novels that have allowed the postcolonial turn in Anglo-Saxon literature and criticism. The protagonist Saleem Sinai tells the story of the “midnight’s children” born in the moment of
Indian independence from Great Britain. Their multiplicity of voices, languages, identities,
registers become the allegory of Bombay and India’s transculturality. Rushdie uses a
particular “Hindinglish”, that is to say a deterritorialized English language, modified through
orality e rhythm of Hindi language.
