Midnight's Children is an allegorical novel by Salman Rushdie, published in 1981. It chronicles the intertwined fates of two children born within the first hour of India's independence from Great Britain. The novel skillfully weaves history, myth, and storytelling techniques, focusing on Saleem, who is born at the stroke of midnight on August 15, 1947, when India declares its independence. The story was adapted into an epic film directed by Deepa Mehta, with parts filmed in Sri Lanka.
