Hybridity is the mixture of two religion ,culture and race.

It not necessarily a peaceful mixture.

It can be social, political , religion and linguistic ,etc.

Literature.It is story about the clash between two religious.

# Saleem ,Shiva and Parvati these are main character in thenovel..

The creation and telling of history.

The creation and telling of a nation’s and

individual’s identity.

The creation and telling of stories

The novel’s social and cultural hybridization,

illustrated through the multitude of differing

characters.

These cultural and religions division clearly

highlighted through Saleem’s relationship with Shiva

and Parvati.

Saleem’s relationship with Shiva remains

complicated because of the nature of their birth and

religion.

And those characters we can say that religious and

cultural Hybridity present in our India.

Saleem and shivaremain in contrast battle with each other , and each struggles against the other to gain power.

These three names are connected with Hindu Mythology.

I conclude my topic with some ideas that now a days Hybridity we can see every where And we can’t escape from it. so we must have to except it . And it means inter dependence of nations. And nothing wrong in this.
