Just finished reading this book and even though it’s not based on India, this is exactly the story of India.
We fought for our independence, things looked great in early years but now things have gotten worse than before, even though the economists keep telling great numbers. British were replaced by landlords and upper class people, common man still foolishly proud of their revolution stories and border wars without ever realising that whether this is what independence means.
George Orwell was born in British India. What an amazing storytelling. Such a small but very profound book.

If you like animal farm, I would jump straight into darkness at noon. I think you will enjoy that because it’s about the Soviet show trials so it’s a great book to piggyback on after animal farm.
Dystopian novels can be really interesting That’s kind of the genre that I’m into so 1984 Fahrenheit.
