Modern Map of the Indian Sub-continent:

The epic journey undertaken in Midnight's Children begins with Saleem Sinai's Grandfather Aadam Aziz arriving in Kashmir. He and his bride then travel to Agra via Amritsar. Their daughter Mumtaz who marries Ahmed Sinai (becoming Amina Sinai) both travel to Bombay. They then go to Pakistan with their son and daughter. From here Saleem finds himself travelling with the army to East Pakistan (now Bangladesh) and then to Delhi. The book travereses a whole subcontinent!

A whole subcontinent cannot be compressed into a subsection of a web site (nor can it be compressed into a book), it can only be referred to or characterised. To find out more about the massive histories of India - go surfing from the Links page.
