Born to immortality
Rich tributes were paid to writer George Orwell on his 112th birth anniversary at his birthplace in Motihari on Thursday. People from different walks of life gathered at the house he was born in on June 25, 1903, to remember the author, famous for books like 1984 and Animal Farm. His birthplace is among four important heritage sites in Bihar and was adopted by LM Singhvi's New Delhi-based NGO Heritage Foundation in 2005. Text by R.N. Sinha, picture by Ajit Kumar Verma.
