Bold statements with beautiful representation of both sides of opinion: "George Orwell was wrong, it seems because things didn’t turn out that bad. It sounds far-fetched, something that would never really happen to us. But 1984 was never a prediction, it was a warning – and we need to listen to that now. "

Stating the current state of global affairs from 1984 book viewpoint is very interesting.

Great read and very contemporary commentary .

Excellent article. Keeps amazing while reading. However there is a difference between Nationalism and extremism. There is nothing hard or soft about nationalism. So in my view hard nationalism and extremism can't be used as synonyms. Trending boycott is also a type of freedom of expression. All of these together make our society a beautiful and democratic one.

In nutshell the article is beautifully written and I enjoyed the way you kept your view about language. Never thought that way.

Welcome Aastha.

Nice correlations between what was written in the book vs today's virtual reality. In fact the book was written in 1948 (i just googled the book) . There isn't remarkable changes in Human psychology since few centuries. I think most of entrepreneur take advantage of this to manipulate the customers. While reading this i reminded movie Inception which is also classic on entering ones dream to manipulate.

Excellent narration... Keep on doing good work......

It is heartening to note that you have been able to decode 1984 in a manner that it relates to today's world. The world is gray, and we need to strive to see that we do not stray from the path of democratic right to thought and freedom that have been so painfully gained by our forefathers.
