Midnight's Children is no doubt an epic classic of the last century !: All you have to do is to read the novel with a little knowledge of the Indian subcontinent to get convinced. It's a story of roughly 60 years of Indian history. The language is like a gifted genius and many other things to love the work.....
What! Only three comments, don't Arabs follow one if their greatest intellectual. When he says that we will have to define what is fundamental attitude he is correct,because now there is a fundamental government in a democracy in U.S itself, and also a fundamental government in India, who is on a spree of searching for its roots ,because it hasn't still found it, and as long it doesn't become a all inclusive secular govt not antithetical to Darwinism, it shall never know its source of origin.
@@Al3arabibelad I am a master in English literature, and with me there were many Arabs in Nagpur University, India. They gave examination in English and were quite well conversed in English. And this 1989- 91. So it's possible you are still ensconced in your small little world. Also Arabic is one of the recognised languages in the UN.This is so that the Arabic world should make it a point to be able to learn both their language as well as English.

A brilliant discussion between the two great minds ! It's worth watching and enjoying. I came to love it and still feel like repeating the same.
Edward Said is a genius.
Definitely very charming and talented.
More or less
