Like I forgot to post this...Question.
Salman Rushdie has written two other best selling novels that are a couple of the most controversial and opinion arousing. He always includes culture and crucial historical political events. Why do you think he'd add them? We know that these aspects effect the story and characters of Midnight's Children; but how? Why is it that he would add those elements when this novel is essentially supposed to be about "super heros" born at midnight?

I think he adds the historical background so that the reader can understand the story better, and relate to the characters more and know the premises behind their actions.
