The 1981 book beat five other former Booker winners shortlisted from the
prize's 40-year history.
Sir Salman, who was unable to attend the London ceremony as he is currently
on tour in the US, sent his thanks via a pre-recorded message.
It is the third Booker award for the author, who was also the winner of the
Booker of Bookers in 1993.
"Marvellous news - I'm absolutely delighted and would like to thank all those
readers around the world who voted for Midnight's Children," the author said.
'Readers have spoken'
His sons, Zafar and Milan, were in attendance at the award ceremony at
London's South Bank Centre to receive the custom-made trophy.
"It's a wonderful alternative to have my real children accepting the prize on
behalf of my imaginary children," Sir Salman said.
BEST OF BOOKER NOMINEES
Midnight's Children by Salman Rushdie (won in 1981; also the previous winner
of the Booker Of Bookers, in 1993)
Disgrace by JM Coetzee (1999)
Oscar And Lucinda by Peter Carey (1988)
The Conservationist by Nadine Gordimer (1974)
The Siege Of Krishnapur by JG Farrell (1973)
The Ghost Road by Pat Barker (1995)
When voting closed at 1200 BST on 8 July, 7,801 people had voted via online
and text, with 36% voting for Midnight's Children.
Peter Carey, Pat Barker, JM Coetzee, Nadine Gordimer and JG Farrell were also
shortlisted for the prize.
The shortlist was chosen by a panel of experts including novelist and critic
Victoria Glendinning and broadcaster Mariella Frostrup.
"The readers have spoken - in their thousands. And we do believe that they
have made the right choice," Glendinning said.
She added that Midnight's Children had won by a "quite a large margin".
The Booker Prize, which was first awarded in 1969, has spawned 41 winners
because it was shared between two authors in 1974 and 1992.
