He speaks and writes about all who played important role in making Ahamad Salman Rushdie a 'Satan Rushdie'. He exposed realities of reactions against him, seen and heard, 'Hang Satan Rushdy'. His opponents thought and sought him a rebel, condemned him by calling a recalcitrant. Salman Rushdie made us realize that he never liked when he was called 'Joe', a pseudonym used by well-wishers and officials during fatwa -years. But, in all circumstances he maintained his literary and art taste which finally result a coinage of his name, 'Joseph Anton.' In this research paper, we shall find Rushdian revaluation of the self, sex, and the power of an author.
