The novel tells the story of Saleem Sinai, born at the exact moment of India's independence on 15 August 1947, using his life to mirror the nation's journey from colonial rule to freedom and beyond.
It won the Booker Prize in 1981 and was later honoured with the 'Booker of Bookers' and the 'Best of the Booker', recognising it as one of the finest works to win the award.
