Bhopal tragedy

यह अत्यन्त दुखद विषय है की कांग्रेस पार्टी के अग्रज नेताओ ने यूनियन कार्बाइड के पूर्व प्रमुख वारेन एंडरसन  को देश से भगाने में साथ दिया. वास्तव में ये उस पार्टी के लिए शर्म का विषय है और उन्हें तुरंत दोषियों के खिलाफ एक्शन लेना चाहिए.
दूसरा पहलू ये भी है की कोर्ट का दोषियों को केवल २ साल की सजा देना भी मृतकों का मजाक उड़ाना है. किसी ने शायद सत्य कहा है
"In India the justice is not only delayed but its delivered improperly."

Its heartening to see NADAL winning

& once again Rafael Nadal proved himself by winning the french open 2010 & regained top rank in tennis world. I hav always admired Nadal.......his aggression during game is worth to see. Once again I want to see him defeating Roger federer.

Jharkhand: the worst politics I hav ever witnessed

This resourceful state is paying the cost of having illiterate & unconscious politicians who don't think about state or nation. They are not looking the poverty, unemployment, naxalism which is continuously increasing, people in their own state are suffering from proper transportation, rehabilitation, medical facilities, education, food security & public distribution system but no.......everyone wants the chair of minister.
Although I have a great interest towards national & international political news but I think i have witnessed a worst politics ever in jharkhand. I always supported the small states where proper administration & better national & state welfare policies can be implemented but to see the state of Jharkhand my own arguments look opposite to me.

Now its the turn of people of the states who have to decide.The big game of Shibu Soren should be over which is the only way to give a good governance to the state & will pave the path of growth which Uttarakhand & Chhattisgarh are witnessing today.

UPA govt is making too late to take tough action against Naxalites.

Around 2 months hav passed of Dantewada Massacre & still UPA govt is busy to decide any action against Naxalites......I think that naxalites hav shown their aim  which reflects violence & terror. The innocent civilians and police forces are paying their lifes in every attack & govt is still sleeping.......
whtever be the success of UPA govt in economic field but they are completely failed to provide a terror free sleep to the central eastern states. They are busy to play the worst politics ever....... although I don't support violence or war but also believes on tit for tat.

समाज

नहीं बनना चाहता उस समाज का भाग मै
नहीं देखना चाहता उस जगह अपने आप को मै
जहाँ समाज सवारने के नाम पे
खेला जाता है हर रोज जुआं
जहाँ जनता के नौकर के नाम पे
हर रोज नौकर उडाता है मज़ा

नहीं आती है जिनको मरी हुई लाशों पर भी
राजनीति करने में कोई परेशानी
नहीं आती है जिनको गरीबों और भूखों के अनाज पे
करने में कोई मनमानी

आज न जाने क्यों यह सब देखकर
मुझे हो रही है अपनी मनुष्यता पर ग्लानि
जहाँ मनुष्य ही मनुष्य की खाल नोचने में लगे हुए हैं
जबकि जानवर कब का इंकार कर चुके हैं

क्या यही है प्रमाण हमारी उन्नति का
क्या यही है हमारी संस्कृति संस्कार का उदाहरण
इसलिए निश्चय कर चुका हूँ अब मै
नहीं बनना चाहता ऐसे समाज का भाग मै
नहीं बनना चाहता ऐसे समाज का भाग मै |

पौध का अकेला तिनका मै

पौध का अकेला तिनका मै
आज पछता रहा हूँ
क्यों बने मेरे भाग उस
तेज अंधियार का
जिसने
तबाह कर दिया है
गरीबों की बस्ती
विवश किया है उनको
जिंदगी से हरदम जूझने को
इस समाज में
और
अंत में हार जाने को
पर इन्ही के हाथों
बनी ऊँची इमारतें हंस रही है
उन पर आज
इन्ही की हालत पर
खिलखिला रही है इनके उजड़े घरों पर
पौध का मै अकेला तिनका
आज यह सब देख कर
पछता रहा हूँ
क्यों बना मै इक
भाग उस अंधियार का

KHAP PANCHAYAT, A Big Q: Is it right for Indian Traditional Society?

These days daily in the newspapers &  in the many news channels I m hearing this big questions- whether KHAP PANCHAYATS shud be eligible to take decisions on marriage?
 If I know correctly,  this very issue came after honour killing @Haryana. I think its a quite difficult to take any decision for Indian society where more than 60% population lives in villages & a big part of that population believes on different customs, caste & religious traditions.

This very issue is somewhat deeper & according to khap panchayats- even inside the caste, the same gotras shud not be allowed to marry.

Although I believe that these KHAP PANCHAYATS are very important as they work for rural judiciary and solve so many disputes which most probably can't be solved by courts within such a short span of time. But I also believe that KHAP PANCHAYATS do not have right to give fatwa type decisions in marriages. Its violation of some one's fundamental right which allows them to get association on mutual agreement & get married.

I think that our Indian tradition from the ancient time supported the lovers and there are galore of marriages which were inter caste & inter religion. Yes its true that today we are losing our Indian culture but I think that if people are getting more freedom for marriage and association it shud be considered as a progress for society & its a new path which is the most suitable for new younger generation.

Although its little ironic but KHAP PANCHAYATS should chose someother dovelopment issues beyond marriage. They shud not be very rigid on thousand of years old tradition which needs a reformation now. Now we have crossed the 1 billion population where I think gotras dont have any more value.
Haryana is the very state where sex ratio is the lowest in India & they shud think that this is the very effect of these KHAP PANCHAYATS. Yes we need to preserve our old traditions but we shud also omit some evil things which are existing in the society which sopts our progress path & our peace.
