   After being neglected and forgotten for decades, the   
   birthplace of George Orwell is finally set for a makeover.   
      
   Orwell was born Eric Arthur Blair on June 25, 1903 in   
   Motihari, a tiny town in the impoverished eastern Indian   
   state of Bihar, near the border with Nepal.   
      
   His father, Richard W. Blair, worked at the time as an   
   agent in the opium department of the Indian Civil Service   
   during the height of British rule over the subcontinent.   
   For years, the family's simple white colonial bungalow has   
   been left to decay. It was damaged in an earthquake in 1934   
   and has since served as an occasional home to stray animals   
   and, more recently, a state school teacher.   
      
   Now, after years of dithering and failed attempts by Orwell   
   enthusiasts to restore the building, the provincial   
   government says it is coming to the rescue in a bid to lure   
   tourists to one of the most underdeveloped areas of India...
