Greeted by fireworks displays, cheering crowds, and Prime Minister Nehru himself, Saleem grows up to learn the ominous consequences of this coincidence. His every act is mirrored and magnified in events that sway the course of national affairs; his health and well-being are inextricably bound to those of his nation; his life is inseparable, at times indistinguishable, from the history of his country. Perhaps most remarkable are the telepathic powers linking him with India's 1,000 other "midnight's children," all born in that initial hour and endowed with magical gifts. 0aInfants switched at birthvFiction.9675152 0aIslamxRelationsxHinduismvFiction.9675153 0aHinduismxRelationsxIslamvFiction.9675154 0aChildren of the richvFiction.9674737 0aPoor childrenvFiction.9675155 0aParanormal fiction.9675156 0aIndiavFiction.9675157 0aHistorical fiction.9674578 0aFantasy fiction.9674671  c17892d17892  001040708FICaWPRObWPROcMezd2024-07-05edonationl0oFIC RUS Midnight'spFIC0092r2024-06-03 00:00:00yMONO
