Online Discussion 4 on Dystopian Truth


Respected Sir,

Whatever Huxley in his Brave New World (1931) and Orwell in his ‘1984’ (1948) put forth the idea of ‘Democratic Nation- will not be the freedom actually but it will be the slavery. I do agree. Because, the way people in today’s world are actually watched by political leader, there is nothing remain private, there is always someone who keep their eyes on you. This idea was actually interwoven by referred both the authors before democracy established worldwide. At that time they faced resistance of their people and also abused for putting forth anti-national reviews. But, now it is the question that why those books are now a days became so popular among today’s mindsets? And its selling coast has been increased. Then what lead them to buy these books? These visionary writers has profoundly visualised the future of democratic nation; where people will be promised by double speakers, and their fake promises will be the hope of the nation. Their ‘peace’ is ‘war’, ‘slavery’ is the only ‘freedom’, ‘strength’ remains in ‘ignorance’, will lead the nation. 

Here, Orwell’s words seems true,

“Political Language is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind.”  
                 -Orwell in ‘Politics and the English Language, 1946.

As our political leaders do the same with us. Their fake promises make us to believe in them, their double speak hangs people between truth and lie. 

This online discussion is the part of our department activity. And i have share my comments here.
