Chutnifying History

This monograph, through Salman Rushdie''s ''Midnight''s Children'' and Rohinton Mistry''s ''A Fine Balance'', will analyse how the Indian Emergency of 1975 is seen through the eyes of postmodern writers. Through this analysis, this book will argue that Rushdie and Mistry "chutnify" history in order to give a voice to both the subalterns and "losers" of history - indirectly providing the reader with an alternative version of the Indian Emergency.
