	Books \| Shadows of Orwell
		When the Blairs arrived here early last century, Motihari was little more than an overgrown village, "pleasantly situated," as a contemporary guidebook puts it, "on the east bank of a lake." The town, population 13,730, functioned as an administrative headquarters for northern Bengal.
		Motihari is so far off the beaten track that its most expensive hotel, the Raj, costs £4 a night (cockroaches gratis).
		A few of Motihari's elderly residents had memories of the British, though none was able to identify Eric's lost nanny.

		In one of the bungalows, crumbling with a cracked roof and an overgrown yard, Eric Arthur Blair, known by his pseudonym George Orwell, was born in 1903.
		Actually, Motihari, headquarters of the East Champaran district bordering Nepal, has too much on its mind to dwell on a writer who?s ?long dead and gone?, as a local resident puts it.
		Hundred years on, Motihari, only 150 km from Patna, is a dusty, chaotic town of 1,50,000 people, with the lake silting up.

	Chronicler of Orwell's birthplace
		And when Tiwari promised to take me to the house in Motihari where George Orwell was born on June 25, 1903, I could not resist the temptation.
		Not to miss the opportunity to show me the glories of Motihari, Tiwari took me to another house, an impressive double-storied bungalow, situated in the midst of a mango grove.
		At Tiwari's prodding, the gardener took out a massive register bound in red cloth which contained the biography of every mango tree - the day it was planted, the day the first manure was given, its height after every year and the year in which it produced the first crop.

	HIMAL SOUTH ASIAN \| August 2003 \| Southasiasphere \| Trapped in history, remembered in poetry
		Motihari town is close to Ramnagar and Sugauli, and is located on the banks of a muddy monsoon-fed lake.
		The lot of Biharis in Motihari may not be enviable, but some of their unfortunate neighbours who opted for East Pakistan in 1947 would still be envious if they were to know that their brethren back in Bihar are free to go wherever they want, whenever they want.
		Neither would he know that rickshaw-pulling in Birgunj is not as lucrative as it seems, because unlike in Motihari, very few peddlers in Nepal own their vehicles and the rest of them have to submit a substantial share of the day’s earning to their owners.
