Salman Rushdie, one of the progenitor of the worldwide controversies till date, occupies a coveted place in the galaxy of postcolonial authors. His literary expedition spans over four decades—right from his maiden novel, grimus (1975)—to the latest, two years eight months and twenty-eight nights (2015). Rushdie adroitly situates postcolonial impressions of the Indian subcontinent and beautifully paints the Canvas of fictions with multiple hues of ethnicity, Muslim imperialism, and historical blend in the post-Independence politics of India. The novels of Salman Rushdie are the true representatives of postcolonial fiction. He embodies in his own life and in his writings, the conundrums of the postcolonial author, writing within the traditions of indo-english literature while concurrently appealing to the conventions and tastes worldwide, especially to the Western audience.
