Trying to find #GeorgeOrwell’s birthplace in Motihari. Google Maps brought me to this shop. The kind shopkeeper has helped me with the right address and some election gyaan as a bonus. #Bihar #RoadTripInBihar

Found it! It’s next to Satyagrah Park. George Orwell and Mahatma Gandhi. Perfect neighbours in Motihari.

Policeman who protects the house insists Orwell’s family had a farm here, “Animal Farm”.

“The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again; but already it was impossible to say which was which.” — #GeorgeOrwell
