The novel is based on autobiographical material: from 1922 to 1927, Orwell served in the colonial police in Burma (the stories “How I Shoot an Elephant” and “Execution by Hanging” were written on the same colonial material). The time in which the story takes place refers to the last days of British colonialism in Burma, which at that time was ruled from Delhi as part of British India .
