Midnight’s Children Plot Summary

Midnight’s Children is a rough metaphor for events in India prior to and, especially, during India’s independence and division. Saleem Sinai, the protagonist and narrator of the narrative, was born on the day India became an independent country. He was born with telepathic abilities as well as a huge, perpetually leaking nose and a very keen sense of smell. There are three parts to the novel.

The tale of the Sinai family is told in the first chapter, which focuses on the events leading up to India’s independence and partition.

Saleem was born at 12 a.m. on August 15, 1947, making him the same age as independent India. He subsequently finds that all infants born in India between the hours of 12 a.m. and 1 a.m. on that date are endowed with extraordinary abilities.

Meanwhile, Saleem’s family embarks on a series of migrations and endures the subcontinent’s countless conflicts. He also suffers from forgetfulness throughout this time, until he experiences a quasi-mythological exile in the Sundarban jungle, where he regains his memories.

He reconnects with his childhood buddies as a result of this. Later, Saleem becomes entangled in Indira Gandhi’s Emergency declaration and her son Sanjay’s “cleansing” of the Jama Masjid slum.
