When Truth Becomes a Crime: Inside Orwell’s 1984

 Watching You Always: Life Under Big Brother

This Blog is a part of thinking activity regarding the novel 1984 by George Orwell by Dr. and Prof. Dilip Barad sir where I will briefly talk and explain about two key aspects of the novel into my study.

1. God is Power

2. Critique of Religion

1. God is Power

• This transcript examines the intersection of theology and totalitarian control within George Orwell’s 1984, focusing on the mantra "God is Power." The source explains how the ruling Party in Oceania systematically replaces traditional religious devotion with a mandate to worship the state and its leader, Big Brother. By equating divinity with political authority, the Party seeks to command not only physical obedience but also the internal emotional landscape of its citizens. The analysis highlights Winston Smith’s eventual submission, illustrating how the regime uses psychological conditioning and propaganda to strip away individual identity. Ultimately, the text argues that Orwell’s work serves as a dual critique of despotic governance and religious structures, warning that absolute power inevitably leads to the exploitation of humanity.
