He is born into the world of the narrative, but is also its creator, its parent. The proliferation of births

Therefore, Saleem Sinai operates in a dual role, working both on the same level of reality as the other characters in the story and on a higher narrative position than that on which the events take place. His voice and his narratorial rendition of reality is polyphonic and, aware of the multiplicity of interpretations, he explicitly refuses to separate them:

For the sake of their privacy, I am refusing to distinguish the voices from one another. and for other reasons. For one thing, my narrative could not cope with five hundred and eighty-one fully-rounded personalities. for another, the children [...] remained, to my mind, a sort of many-headed monster, speaking in the myriad tongues of Babel. they were the very essence of multiplicity, and I see no point in dividing them now. (Midnight's Children 274)

The voices and personalities Rushdie refers to constitute a network of one thousand and one subjectivities, the children all born during the very first hour of renascent India, all sharing the capability of telepathical communication, all being able to speak with each other. This narrative technique echoes the novel's motif of the twin (a frequent motif in Rushdie's work) - the twins babies born at the same time, the twin births, the twinning of the subjectivity of Saleem and India. These Manichean oppositions, the resultant Bogumilic perspective, opens up the novel's perspective (and opens up the notion of a single subjective author or narrator) to many voices, crossing geography, ethnicity, class, caste, religious affiliation, and gender.
