George Orwell was Indian ??

A dilapidated colonial bungalow where George Orwell was born is to be restored in a drive to lure tourists to one of India’s poorest states.

The author of Animal Farm and 1984 was born Eric Arthur Blair in 1903 in Motihari, Champaran district, where his father, Richard, served as a collector at a colonial opium factory.

The author spent only his first year at the house before his mother took him to England, but officials hope to capitalise on the connection.

The state government in Bihar backed the campaign by declaring the house a protected monument.
