+Animal Farm is one of the good books I came across. The composition of sentences
+are so well, that I found them easy to read. It is less than 100 pages book
+which I completed in two sitting. Your mileage may vary. This book is authored
+by Eric Arthur Blair whose pen name is George Orwell. He is well-known for his
+critical writing on politics. Through this novel, he has tried to highlight
+limitations of human behavior. The plot is about a group of animals who are
+governed by their owner. One night they inspired to free themselves from their
+owner so that they can take their own decisions. They rebel against him and
+succeeded. One group self-proclaimed themselves as educated and takes the
+responsibility of taking important decisions. Every animal is happy because they
+are doing their hard work of growing food for themselves and not for others. In
+between the owner came with a group of people to take the revenge. It is
+interesting to read how these animals fought against humans and how they won the
+battle. An amendment is formed in which humans are considered as the greatest
+enemy of them. The story takes many tragic turns after that. Day by day elected
+leaders to make their own lifestyle better with the cost of other animals.
+Because the leaders are more literate than other animals, they portray
+hypothetical growth in front of them. Such imaginary growth helped them to
+create false faith in fellow animals. Mean a while, small dispute happens
+between leaders which took a big shape. One evil-minded captured the farm by
+killing the other leader and a democracy becomes a dictatorship. The leader
+invests animal forces to advance facilities of the farm and reduces efforts to
+grow the food for them.  In a meantime, few other battles happen with humans.
+The leader decided to put maximum force to advance the farm and put minimum
+efforts to grow the food which resulted in the shortage of everything. You have
+to read how the dictator sold available resources to earn money which he
+invested in advancing the farm. This is how the independent farm started
+depending on humans. Ultimately the farm becomes bankrupt. Yet animals are in
+faith that the decision made by their leader is in their favor. The struggle
+continues for a while and finally, the dictator is bought by giving high bribe
+to supply whatever the farm is producing. The story ends with the hard truth
+that their own leader was never their own. The book has inscribed a deep
+impression on my soul. We better have to think at the time of listening to
+hegemony. I am thankful to guru Xitij Shukla who inspire me to read this book.
