Mother India is an important theme. Throughout the novel, Rushdie explores the uncertainty, deception, and illusion that indwells this teeming nation: the intermingling and conflicting of many cultures, languages, and religions - although he consistently downplays the latter's significance and positive impact. Historical events intertwine with fiction, offering opportunities for reflection. Both classical myth and modern pop culture offer insights into a mysterious region.
