1984

Year 2025 | Book 11/52 Book Review : 1984 by George Orwell George Orwell’s  1984   is a haunting exploration of totalitarianism, propaganda, and surveillance. The infamous Party, led by Big Brother, manipulates reality, enforcing absolute control—best summed up by the chilling line:   “Who controls the past controls the future. Who controls the present controls the past.”   The novel’s themes remain disturbingly relevant, showcasing humanity’s darker tendencies. While Orwell’s world-building is terrifyingly vivid, some sections felt slow and repetitive. A thought-provoking read that lingers in the mind, but not the most engaging throughout.  #1984 #GeorgeOrwell #DystopianFiction #BigBrother #ClassicLiterature #Totalitarianism #MustRead

  Year 2025 | Book 10/52 Book Review : कुरुक्षेत्र by  Ramdhari Singh 'Dinkar'   “कुरुक्षेत्र”  by राष्ट्रकवि रामधारी सिंह ‘दिनकर’ is a profound poetic exploration of the  justification, consequences, and morality of war . Set in the post- महाभारत  era, it presents a compelling  संवाद  between  युधिष्ठिर  and  भीष्म , where the victorious king grapples with the guilt of war’s destruction. While  रश्मिरथी  captured the pre-war struggles,  कुरुक्षेत्र  delves into the philosophy of  धर्म, कर्म , and the necessity of war for justice. Dinkar’s evocative verses make this an essential read on the ethics of war and duty. #कुरुक्षेत्र #RamdhariSinghDinkar #महाभारत #काव्य #संवाद #युद्धऔरधर्म #Rashtrakavi #DharmaAndKarma
