Chutnification is the adoption of Indian elements into the English language or culture. The word “chutnification” was coined by Salman Rushdie in his novel, Midnight’s Children.[1][2] Chutney is a sauce for a dry base, originating from the Indian subcontinent.
Rushdie’s Midnight’s Children is not the first novel to exhibit or employ chutnification. All the post-colonial writers tried this.
For example, Chinua Achebe’s seminal trilogy Things Fall Apart, No Longer at Ease, Arrow of God as well as Ngugi wa Thiong’o’s Petals of Blood were written before Rushdie’s Midnight’s Children.
