摘要：This article focuses on the transformation of an innocent clown into aninternational terrorist in Salman Rushdie’s novel ‘Shalimar the Clown’. It shows theglobalization of terror, intricately mingling lives and countries and finding unexpectedand sometimes tragic connections between the seemingly disparate. This articlereminds that nationhood and identity are not one and the same. People are too mutableto be contained by borders, too good at shape-shifting, and yet, wars are still fought inspite of this knowledge. Sometimes a person fights for an idea, other times he does sobecause someone has stolen his wife. The novel delves deep into the roots of terrorismand explores the turmoil generated by different faiths and cultures attempting to coexistand shows the global consequences of actions and emotions like love, honour, betrayaland revenge.
