After 73 years, George Orwell's novel 1984 still is relevant.

WAR IS PEACE, FREEDOM IS SLAVERY and IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH

In 1949, George Orwell published a dystopian novella titled 1984. It depicts the world as being divided into 3 independent states, each of which is ruled by the all-powerful Big Brothers in a totalitarian manner.

Book is shown through the perspective of Winston Smith, a low-ranking member of 'the Party,' is agitated by the party's immutable eyes and its intimidating leader Big Brother. He despises the party with all his heart, but he has no choice but to act as though he does enjoy it existence.

Big Brother is watching you

Oceania is the name of the continent where Winston is staying and irritated with the government control and oppression. There are three locations in Orwell's imaginary universe. Oceania is one, Eurasia is another, and Eastasia is the third.

'Big Brother' is a representative of the government's authority over its people. Another prerequisite of life in this society is to be faithful and devoted to Big Brother and obey what he commands, and to be happy with their accomplishments as a leader. Big Brother monitors and tracks each individual moment .

Through many techniques, Big Brother instils fear, terror, and obedience among the public. Big Brother is the only one who has power over people's lives.

It devised the language known as 'Newspeak' in order to control how people thought. The Party was able to manipulate people's minds by using Newspeak as a language. In an attempt to eradicate political opponents, the government made it more difficult for people to have their own opinions and knowledge.

If you want to keep a secret, you must also hide it from yourself.

Another major thing that Thought crimes did was to prevent individuals from ever considering acts that were considered rebel. The party has complete control over what individuals read, say, and do, with the danger of being put to the dreaded Room if they disobey.

Ministry of Truth, whose primary job was not to reconstruct the past but to supply the citizens of Oceania with newspapers, films, textbooks, telescreen programme, plays, novels—with every conceivable kind of information, instruction, or entertainment, from a statue to a slogan, from a lyric poem to a biological treatise, and from a child’s spelling-book to a Newspeak dictionary

Censorship was one of the most prominent propaganda techniques adopted by the government in 1984. There were a significant number of spies whose main goal was to infiltrate social groups and sell out anybody who disagreed with Big Brother's viewpoints.

The book explores into the topics of government surveillance, totalitarianism, and how a dictator may alter and control history, ideas, and lives in such a manner that no one is immune.

Regardless of changes in ideologies, 1984 can be said to be a crucial book because of its portrayal of one person struggling to hold on to what is real and valuable.

Nothing was your own except the few cubic centimeters inside your skull.

By far the most powerful, effective, and terrifying idea in 1984 is that dictatorial state over an entire nation is absolutely achievable. If the world is ruled by one or more dictators, the future may quickly become a twisted, horrible place where everyone's every action, word, and breath is analyzed by an unstoppable, all-powerful force that no one can stop or even resist without risking death.

In conclusion 1984 is a portrayal of the modern world as well as a warning to humanity. Its topic is still relevant in our culture after 73 years, with a powerful warning about the erosion of freedom, monitoring, and censorship. It depicts us what life is like in a totalitarian state. Orwell delivers a strong statement by establishing a totalitarian society.

1984 is an excellent book to read if you wish to do the same. Book has gained so much influence and its adopted in many movies and short film and most recently its graphic novel was published.
