A variant change has occurred in the field of English literature after independence in India. The impact of pre-colonial literature continued for some time after freedom of India. The genre of literature like drama, novels and poems brought a tremendous change in its texture and appeal the genuine interest and attitude of the modern people towards reading have changed. George Orwell, an artist deeply rooted in the Indian soil is a great writer presenting everything before the reading public with a definite purpose. When we go through his works, we feel and find the presence of some meaning and message everywhere. His books reveal the various theme of poverty, Socialism, Capitalism, East-West Encounter, condition of wars and such things. Orwell the gifted artist is a read writer, as most of his important works contain the element of relevance, and that is why, they are things in his novels which are still relevant after such a long time. His significant Novels, Burmese days, A Clergymans's Daughter, Keep the Aspiditra Flying, Animal Farm and Nineteen Eighty Four are quite famous and popular. Animal Farm and Nineteen Eighty Four have gained much name and these two novels remains always in lime-light because of delineation of important themes. Animal Farms deals with the political thoughts whereas Nineteen Eighty Four depicts the picture of war-time world of 1944.

Abstract

This novel depicts some of the problems arising from the distractions encountered in the Indian life of his period and some solutions have been found. 'Examination Guru' is the first novel to depict this type of social consciousness. It is this socialism that really makes modern literature different from previous literature. This brings literature closer to normal life.
