| Abstract: | Abstract - This paper examines unwritten histories in postcolonial fiction through Salman Rushdie's Midnight's Children (1981) and Amitav Ghosh's The Shadow Lines (1988). Rushdie expresses himself through magical realism and "chutnification," relating it to a process of pickling fragmented memories to counterbalance colonial and Nehruvian narratives. Saleem's telepathic link personifies collective resistance. Ghosh melts borders, tracing the riots of 1964 and Partition trauma through non-linear narrative and post memory. Intertextuality reinvokes indigenous archives, Rushdie fuses Kathasaritsagara with Western forms, while Ghosh excavates micro-histories through folklore. Stylistically, Rushdie's carnivalesque excess upends the hierarchy, while Ghosh's silences perform slow violence. Both authors turn erased voices into dynamic archives that would influence contemporary works by Roy, Powers, and Bulawayo amidst neoliberal and climatic silences. |
