The midnight's children is an example of colonialism, postcolonialism and magic realism. Where it is portraying the children, who had taken birth during midnight on 15th August 1947. Though the situation at present seems to be hopeful but something horrific from this is awaiting to come and which comes in the form of Emergency by Indira Gandhi.

The Reluctant Fundamentalist, based on America and Pakistan conflict, on Al Qaeeda attack. Where a stranger from Pakistan into America is taken as other and blamed of unknown and unimaginative act.

Victoria&Abdul with Ngugi Wa Thiongo's African Literature. The film is based on slavery how from critical point of view and from other courtiers point of views, Abdul Karim ceased to be only a slave. While he is having good tuning with Queen Victoria, with which he himself is satiated. It seems Queen Victoria's discontented life is made contented through companionship of Abdul Karim and Karim is just enjoying the lavishes given by Queen Victoria.

The  is based on colonialism and imperialism, which tried to annex Punjab with British India and in an attempt snatched many rights from the rightful people.

For example: Duleep Singh's Throne.
