India Animal Farm

               

George Orwell is one of the UK's best-known 20th Century authors but he's also claimed

by a town in north-eastern India.

Orwell was born here - and his home is being turned into a museum.....

This was poppy country back then, and Orwell's father worked for the opium department

of the British government, overseeing the production and storage of the drug

before it was exported to China.

More than a century after the Orwells left, the dilapidated colonial-era bungalow :

is being turned into a museum.

                           

The government of Bihar is planning to spend $150,000 on the project.


"We are fortunate that a writer like George Orwell was born here

So, it is our duty to preserve this bungalow and make it presentable."
