Answer 1

In Salman Rushdie's Midnight's Children, Commonwealth writers operate from a privileged location compared to other writers.

Step-by-step explanation:

In Salman Rushdie's Midnight's Children, the literature don assumes that Commonwealth writers operate from a privileged location compared to other writers. This means that these writers have a unique perspective and access to resources and opportunities that other writers may not have. The use of Indian cultural references, magic, and myth in the novel adds to the distinctiveness of the Commonwealth writers' vantage point.
