आखिर गाँधी महान क्यों है?

मित्रो मेरे इस लेख का प्रयोजन कुछ पथ भ्रमित लोगों, जो गाहे-बगाहे गाँधी जी की प्रासंगिकता और उनके होने या न होने के औचित्य पर मूर्खतापूर्ण टीका टिपण्णी करने वालो को मेरा प्रत्युत्तर कहा जाये तो कोई अतिश्योक्ति नहीं होगी । जहाँ एक तरफ भारत की स्वतंत्रता से लेकर औद्योगिक विकास के क्रम में गाँधी जी की दूरदर्शिता साफ़ परिलक्षित होती है वहीँ दूसरी तरफ एक महान क्रांतिकारी और देश को दिशा प्रदान करने वाले महापुरुष के चरित्र और कार्यकलापो पर प्रश्नचिन्ह लगाने वालो का गर्दभरुदन निसंदेह मेरे समझ से परे है । मेरे इस लेख का उद्देश्य न केवल लोगों को गाँधी जी के उन कार्य कलापों से अवगत कराना है जिसने उन्हें महान बनाया बल्कि उन्हें उस परिपेक्ष से भी रूबरू कराना है जिसने गाँधी जी के आन्दोलन को एक दिशा दी । बात उन दिनों की है जब भारत में अंग्रेजी शासन अपने चरम पर था । भारतीय अग्रेजो द्वारा न केवल प्रताणित किये जा रहे थे बल्कि अंग्रेजो ने भारतीय उद्योग धंधो को भी बहुत अधिक क्षति पहुंचाई थी । गाँधी जी के स्वतंत्रता के लिए जारी संघर्ष और उनके सहयोग के लिए कुछ लोग गांधी जी से आकर मिले और उन्हें

The Forbidden Protagonists

Once I was asked about my favorite mythological ideals. Without much consideration and second thought I named, Karna from Mahabharta and Bharat from Ramayana. Karna was obvious to many to guess because of his virtues but very few were fully aware of the character of Bharat. Practically I don’t blame them. We are born and raised in a country where people of second fiddle are less important than main lead. The protagonists are often shown larger than life and other characters are often given less importance. The veteran and very talented writer of that time Ved Vyas did justice with every character and gave due weight-age to everyone. However, the irony of such an epic that hindu families consider it a bone of contention if kept at home. But prefer to keep another equally talented writers mythological and holy book of Ramayna. Indian families do not stop here only but every now and then preach and expect their children to follow the path of Dharma and become second Rama. What

Winds from the west

Though I am not quite a movie buff but off late a series of Hollywood flicks draw my attention of the changing pattern of the film making. If I ask you what is so different in Hollywood and rest of the movie industries, you probably would have umpteenth reasons to advocate it but this time it is not about producer, directors, actors or cinematography but the heart robbed story line. Missed you already, seven pound, the fault in our Stars and concussion were the flicks that changed the entire equation of the industry,  forget about the whooping collections of overrated movies like bahubali and kabaali alone. Bahubali was a hit because of typical mythological blend story line where as before kabaali there were list of movies of Rajnikant which actually did not go well. And with the dwindling collection of Rajni anna's movies, the followers decided to gift Anna by making Kabaali super hit. Unfortunately where in the rest of the industries only collection is the parameter of success

प्रेम और विवाह

एक पुराना व्यंग है, एक व्यक्ति भगवान् से पूछता है कि हे प्रभु आपने स्त्रियों को इतना सुन्दर तो बनाया परन्तु उन्हें इतना मूर्ख क्यों बनाया? भगवान् ने उत्तर दिया, मैंने तो सिर्फ स्त्रियाँ बनायीं थी, उन्हें औरत (महिला) तो तुमने बनाया। दूसरी बात, मैंने उन्हें सुन्दर इसलिए बनाया ताकि तुम उन्हें प्यार कर सको। और मूर्ख इसलिए ताकि वे तुमसे प्यार/ विवाह कर सके। मेरी एक मित्र का तो यह लगभग तकिया कलाम ही बन गया था, “औरत पैदा नहीं होती, बनायीं जाती है। ” हालाँकि के मेरा यह लेख स्त्री-पुरुष के सांसारिक जीवन और उनके प्रेम पर आधारित है। फिर भी इस प्रसंग का वर्णन करने का आशय केवल प्रेम और विवाह के मध्य केन्द्रित उस भ्रम से पर्दा उठाना था, जिसके कारण प्रायः जीवन में गतिरोध की स्थिति उत्पन्न हो जाती है और कई बार तो यह परिस्थिति इतनी विकट हो जाती है कि जिसका अंत केवल विवाह विच्छेदन के रूप में ही परिलक्षित होता है। मेरा स्वयं का यह मानना है कि संभवतः इसका कारण जीवन में प्रेम का अभाव या अंत ही है। प्रेम जहाँ स्वार्थ विहीन होता है, वहीँ विवाह का आधार ही स्वार्थ पर टिका होता है।माता-पिता की देखभाल

A tube light that doesn’t work Much awaited Eid gift turned useless due to over melodrama and subsequently a poor opening on festival day, it seems as audience forget to give  Eidi to Bhai, yes you guessed it right. It’s tube light which only flickered but did not illuminate. At times I really wonder that did Salman really care what script demands? And does Kabir Khan not give any suggestions to his friend to make the necessary improvisation in his skills rather changing the entire script accordingly. In a nutshell, the actor does fall on the script at all. And if you have seen Salman’s previous movies, you can easily find the similarity and monotonous acting pattern that seldom deliver something new. You would have observed that even in serious scenes he cracks the joke, uses rustic language and much more. In an interview, once he said that he considers Govinda as a great actor but he truly follows his style, is a matter of surprise but that is what he actually does. Anywa
