Midnight’s Children is a novel by Salman Rushdie. It deals with India’s change from British rule to independence and touches upon the themes of the partition of British India.
Summary of the Book
Saleem Sinai is born at Midnight, on India’s first Independence day. He has telepathic powers, and soon discovers that all children born at midnight have similar powers. Saleem assembles a Midnight Children's Conference to reflect on the issues India faced in its early statehood. As a telepathic conduit, Saleem brings hundreds of geographically disparate children into contact and discovers their gifts. The magical realism in the novel examines liberalism and recalls indigenous Indian culture. It runs headlong into the moment of the emergency and shows how the children deal with the episode.

Nice product
My only issue is with the delivery, Even with all the lockdown, all the precautions we are taking, the delivery man was not wearing a mask properly, neither did he use any type of sanitizer. When I asked him to wear the mask, he rudely refused. The product was satisfiable. 👍
