 It is a paradox of the highest order that a nation once heralded as the bastion of liberty, the birthplace of George Orwell, has now seemingly forsaken its illustrious past. The country, which once stood as a beacon of freedom and a defender of truth, now appears to have lost its way, descending into depths unworthy of its storied heritage. It is both disheartening and perplexing to witness such a profound lapse in collective memory and values, a descent from the zenith of enlightened leadership to a nadir of forgotten principles.
