Stories and dreams occurring in this land of fiction symbolize the healing power of the imaginary. The journey to, and on, the sea waters that cover a large portion of Kahani depicts an entirely different dimension of reality. Haroun, the child protagonist, travels from the world of apparent everyday reality (represented by planet Earth) to a Moon world called Kahani. In the former, the author introduces different worlds that are nevertheless interconnected, each with a reality of its own. This is true also for Rushdie ’s two works for children, Haroun and the Sea of Stories (1991) and Luka and the Fire of Life (2010). Protagonists who find themselves immersed in bodies of water, be it in Midnight’s Children (1981) or The Satanic Verses (1988), are not the same people when they come out of them (if they do). As in works by other Indian writers, water as a symbol plays a crucial role in several novels by Salman Rushdie, the imagery being rooted in the Hindu worldview. ![]() ![]() What the team didn’t know was that they had infiltrated a section of jungle that concealed a major enemy base.

In it, the monarch shared high tea with the Peruvian bear, who slurped the tea straight from the spout and managed to wreak havoc by squirting cream all over a poker-faced palace servant. ![]() Hugh Bonneville read an extract from a Christmas Carol by Paddington Bear.

This is social constructivism which is the construction of ideologies and belief systems and this is how the news media’s major purpose is usually achieved through the process of framing news.
