First published on 8th June 1949, George Orwell's dystopian novel '1984' has ironic similarities with the state of the Sikhs today. In almost prophetic fashion, Orwell seems to have spelt out the subjugation and mental regression of the Sikhs to enslave them to the overarching agendas of Hindus and Muslims post-independence.

This episode furnishes a Sikh-led reading of Orwell in the current context of the ongoing Indo-Pak conflict and how both nations are enacting the same charades that Orwell's states in '1984' enact to distract their populations by uniting them around a convenient external aggressor.

Can the Sikhs not only survive but also thrive in this conflict? Listen to find out more.
