ek 'mahan' neta, ek 'mahan' dakoo ki shok sabha sanbodhit kar rahe the.-
"vo ek mahanh dakoo the. aise khanadani aur laganashil dakoo ab dekhane mean nahian ate. aj bhi mujhe achchhi tarah yad hai... jab unhoanne pahali daqaiti dali to vo navambar-disambar ka mahina raha hoga; divali ke asapas ki bat hai. daqaiti dal kar vo sidhe mere pas ae aur daqaiti ka poora qissa mujhe ek hi saans mean suna dala. ham donoan ki aankhoan mean khushi ke aansoo the. bad mean ham donoan gale milakar khoob roe."
age kuchh bolane se pahale unhoanne vahi kiya jo neta aksar bhashan dete hue karate haian-
unhoanne maik ko dekha aur bhavuk hokar daean hath se use pak d liya. baean hath ki char uangaliyoan ko mo dakar ek lain mean lagaya aur gaur se nakhoonoan ko dekha. isake bad kuchh sochane ka abhinay kiya aur saans chho dakar (jo ki khianchi huee thi) donoan hath pichhe baandh lie. ek bar e diyoan par uchak kar phir se kahana shuroo kiya-
"vo zamana hi aisa tha... us zamane mean daqaiti dalane mean ek lagan hoti thi... ek rachanatmak drishtikon hota tha. jo aj bahut hi kam dekhane mean ata hai. mujhe bhi kee bar moolaji ke sath daqaitiyoan par jane ka avasar mila. a ha ha! kya daqaiti dalate the moolaji. kam se kam kharch mean ek suandar daqaiti dalana unake baean hath ka khel tha. bad mean vaqt ki maang ke anusar unhoanne apani daqaitiyoan mean balatkar ko bhi ek samuchit sthan diya kintu durbhagy ! ki unhoanne jo daqaitiyaan dalian... hatyaean kian aur balatkar kie... usaka poora shrey aur bad mean labh khud unhian ko nahian mil paya."
"...unaki adat hamesha doosaroan ko badhava dene ki rahi. vo to mano ek vishvavidyalay hi the. naye l dakoan ko jab vo apane sath daqaitiyoan mean le jate the to unhian ko hamesha hatyaean aur balatkar karane ka mauqa bhi dete the. jahaan tak mujhe yad ata hai, jab bhi vo mujhe mile, unake sath char-paanch nee umr ke l dake hote the. a ha ha! kya drishy hota tha... sabhi l dake nashe mean dhutt, muanh mean pan aur apani-apani anti mean tarah-tarah ke hathiyar lagae hue. un l dakoan mean se... jo aj jivit bache haian, unake nam aur foto akhabaroan mean dekhakar behad prasannata hoti hai. moolaji ke 'sadhae' hue l dake aj kee partiyoan mean sammanit padoan par haian. us tyagamoorti ka dhyan ane se hi maian bhavuk ho jata hooan."
-taliyaan bajian...
"shuruat mean chhah-sat daqaitiyaan dalane ke bad hi vo kafi prasiddhi pa ge the lekin ap to janate hi haian ki pulis ne hamesha unake sath sautela vyavahar hi kiya. kee daqaitiyaan aisi thian jo unhoanne apane bal-boote par hi dali thian, lekin pulis rikard se unaka nam gayab hi raha aur un daqaitiyoan ka shrey unhean nahian mil paya. asal mean us samay jo pulis kaptan tha vo apani jati ke ek sadharan se dakoo ko pramot karane ke chakkar mean rahata tha. jisamean ki bad mean vo saphal bhi raha."
...
"svargiy shri moolashankar ji; jinhean ham "moola dakoo" ke nam se janate haian, ek zabardast pakshapat poorn ravaie ka shikar hue. paanch achchhi daqaitiyaan dalane ke bad mushkil se ek daqaiti mean moola ji ka nam a pata tha. isase unaka pramoshan ruk gaya. vo apane dakoo kairiyar ki agali sidhi ko pane mean asaphal rahe yane neta nahian ban pae."
-ve bhavuk hue-
"dostoan ap to janate haian ki kaun apani pasand se dakoo banata hai ?... koee nahian ! ye to majaboori hai dostoan... majaboori ! agar moolashankar ji ne neta banane ka sapana nahian dekha hota to bechare kyoan dakoo banate. vo bhi kisi sarakari daftar mean naukari karake dakuoan se zyada nahian kama rahe hote ?
-ve aur bhavuk hue-
"... ap ko pata hi hai ki kisi parti ne unhean chunav mean tikit nahian diya aur vo sadharan sa dakoo jo vastav mean dakoo tha hi nahian, pichhali bar ke chunav mean lagatar tisari bar parti ki tikit par jita hai. es. pi. ne pakshapat karake use dakoo banaya. usake sir par do lakh ka bilkul jhootha inam rakhavaya." ve daha de- "vo bhola-bhala dakoo chunav mean tikit pa jata hai aur moola ji jaise khataranaq dakoo samaj seva se vanchit rah jate haian...? kya yahi lokatantr hai ?"
yah kahakar unhoanne sir jhuka liya. yah mudra taliyoan ki apeksha mean banaee gayi thi lekin taliyoan ki bajay sannata bhaanpakar vo fauran gala saf karake bole-
"maian kisi ka bhi nam nahian lena chahata kyoanki ap svayan hi aise sadharan dakuoan ke namoan se parichit haian. is tarah achanak inam badha kar kisi ko bhi ratoan-rat dakoo banaya ja sakata hai... isase to har aira-gaira dakoo tikit ka davedar ban jaega. vo din door nahian jab log pulis ko rishvat dekar bina daqaiti dale hi apana nam daqaitiyoan mean likhava leange aur daqaiti-sanskriti ka satyanash ho jaega."
"hamare desh ke daqaitoan mean ab jatiy bhavana utpann hone lagi hai. jo dhire-dhire badhati hi ja rahi hai. daqaitiyaan ab jati ke adhar par dali ja rahi haian. pratyek vyakti apani-apani jati ke dakoo ko badhava dene mean laga hai. partiyoan mean bhi jati ke adhar par dakuoan ko variyata di jati hai. abhi pichhale dinoan ek sajjan ke yahaan ek 'shanadar daqaiti' p di. vo janate the... ki daqaiti kisane dali hai... lekin unhoanne daqaiti mean nam likhavana apani hi jati ke ek aise dakoo ka... jo us samay ilaqe mean tha hi nahian... is jativadi dakoo-tantr ko rokana hoga... anyatha isake parinam bahut bure hoange. isase yogy dakoo pichh d jayeange."
"maianne anek bar dekha hai ki tikit prapt karane ki lalasa mean bahut se dakuoan ne daqaiti dalana kam karake doosare tariqoan se jaldi pragati karani chahi hai. jaise kuchh daqaitoan ne sharab ke theke lie, kuchh ne jue-satte ka karobar khol liya aur kuchh ne apaharan ka dhandha apana liya. ye to thik hai ki is badalav se tikit pane mean asani ho jati hai, lekin daqaiti ki parampara ko behad nuqasan hota hai.
ve krodhit hokar daha de, "kya sirf tikit pane ke lie hi ham bhoo-mafiya ban jaean, sharab ke theke lean, apaharan karavaean aur jue-satte ka karobar karean... kya sirf daqaiti dalane se hi tikit ke lie hamari yogyata siddh nahian ho jati?"
tabhi ek naujavan dakoo bich mean bola, "ajakal to bhoo-maphiyaoan ka zamana hai. poochhata kaun hai dakuoan ko...dakuoan se zyada izzat to rajaniti mean ab dalaloan ko milati hai !... ab gaya zamana dakuoan ka !..."
"bhoo-mafiya ! kya hai bhoo-mafiya hamare samane ?... kuchh bhi nahian... zyada se zyada char-chh: mardar... bas !... aur usake bad rajaniti mean traansafar... usake bad kya ? bataie ?... rajaniti mean sthapit hone ke bad to hamari hi zaroorat p dati hai
na ? are ! khud kahaan karate haian ye qatl ? ye to hamase karavate haian na ? isamean sari galati kisaki hai... apaki. apane hi yah chhoot di hai. maian poochhata hooan ki jan jane ka khatara sabase zyada kisamean hai... sirf daqaiti mean! isalie sabase zyada bahaduri ka kam dakoo banana hi hai, baqi sari chizean kam bahaduri ki haian, phir bhi daqaitoan ki manyata kam hoti ja rahi hai. manyata hi kam nahian ho rahi hai, balki unaka moolyaankan bhi galat tariqe se hota hai. isaka karan hai ekata ki kami. mere pyare dakuoan ek ho jao aur phir se chha jao rajaniti par..."
vaktavy khatm karane ke ishare ko samajh kar bhi anajan banakar ve gh di dekhakar bole-
"kafi samay ho gaya... mujhe ek dakoo-shala ke udghatan mean bhi jana hai isalie maian yah kah kar apani bat samapt karana chahata hooan ki ham sab ek milakar rahean to har ek parti hamare mahatv ko aur zyada samajheangi aur phir se moola ji ka dard bhara itihas nahian doharaya jaega. mere sath nara lagaie...dakoo neta bhaee-bhaee, aur qaum kahaan se aee"

jis tarah har chiz ka zamana hota hai vaise hi 'chambal-braand' dakuoan ka bhi ek 'zamana' tha. janata ka hal ye rahata tha ki log, dakuoan ke gho doan ki tapoan se u dati dhool ko talkam paudar se kam nahian samajhate the. filmoan ke lie bhi 'dakoo' ek hit vishay raha hai. dakoo ko nayak banaya jay ya khalanayak, dakoo aksar hit hi hota hai. jaise-
jis desh mean ganga bahati hai ka 'raka' (pran- khalanayak)
ganga jamana ka 'ganga' (dilip kumar- nayak)
mujhe jine do ka 'jaranail sianh' (sunil datt- nayak)
mera gaanv mera desh ka 'jabbar' (vinod khanna- khalanayak)
shole ka 'gabbar' (amajad khan- khalanayak)
biandiya aur bandooq ka 'ranga' (jogindar- khalanayak)
baiandit kvin ki 'phoolan' (sima bisvas- nayika)
pan sianh taumar ka 'pan sianh' (irafan khan- nayak)
adi kee aise charitr haian jo filmoan mean lokapriy hue haian.
is soochi mean ek 'pan sianh taumar' film hi aisi hai jo maianne abhi tak dekhi nahian hai. vajah ye hai ki thietar mean film dekhane mean mera dam ghutata hai aur 'paireted dividi' dekhane mean mozarabeyar aur ti siriz valoan ka dar lagata hai. vaise bhi 'bharatakosh' se samay bachata hi kahaan hai jo film dekhooan! suna hai ki achchhi chali hai, khas taur se vo sanvad ki "bih d mean bagi hote haian daqait milate haian parliyament mean", khasa lokapriy hua hai.
asal zindagi mean bhi dakuoan ke nam bahut prasiddh hue. sultana dakoo, dakoo man sianh, putali baee, pana dakoo (pan sianh), mohar sianh, madho sianh, malakhan sianh, phoolan devi adi. bat kya hai dakoo hamean kyoan akarshit karate rahe haian ?
har ek jiv svabhav se kayar hi hota hai chahe vah janavar ho ya iansan. bahadur to hamean samaj aur sanskriti banate hai. jise ham bahaduri ya nidarata kahate haian usake mukhy karan do hi hote haian ek to us bhay ke prati poori ajnanata jaise bachcha saanp se nahian darata aur doosara karan hai, apane bhay ko chhupa jana arthath yah zahir n hone dena ki ham bhayabhit haian. jinhean ham sahasi aur bahadur manate haian. unhoanne apane bhay ko kabhi kisi ke samane zahir nahian hone diya, bas yahi hai bahaduri.
jis tarah har ek sahas virata nahian hota usi tarah har ek palayan kayarata nahian hota. isilie bahaduri aur moorkhata ke bich bahut mahin sima rekha hoti hai aur yahi mahin rekha kayarata aur buddhimani ke bich bhi hoti hai. galat nirnay se apaki bahaduri moorkhata mean gini ja sakati hai aur samajhadari se kiya gaya palayan bhi buddhimani mean shamil ho jata hai. hamara yahi svabhav aur ichchhaean hamean dakoo-fॅn bana deti haian. hamare mitr janavaroan mean kutta, gho da, gay adi gine jate haian lekin har-koee banana 'sher' hi chahata hai. gho da ya gay banane ki koee nahian sochata aur kutta banane ka to saval hi nahian hai. ham khud ko bahadur aur sahasi dekhana aur dikhana chahate haian aur is aur bahaduri ka jo jo glॅmar sher ke pas hai, vah doosaroan ke pas kahaan ? isalie dakuoan ko bhi chambal ka sher kaha jata hai.
yadi ham jal-dasyuoan ke bare mean janakari karane ke lie gahare mean utarean to ek zabardast itihas aur kianvadantiyoan se bhari duniya hamean milati hai. inaki lokapriyata ka andaza isase lagaya ja sakata hai ki kॅpten jॅk spॅro ke kiradar mean 'j aauni dep' abhinit 'pairaits aauf kॅrebiyan' karo doan d aaular ka vyapar kar rahi hai aur isake sikval, trayol aauji aur kvadriyol aauji banate ja rahe haian. in samudri dakuoan ne to ek bahut prabhavi sanskriti ka pratinidhitv bhi kiya hai.
dakuoan, dasyuoan ya luteroan se prabhavit hone ka karan hai hamara unaki duniya se anabhijn hona. inaka jivan, jisase ki log chamatkrit ho jate haian, vastav mean narakiy jivan hota hai. samaj se kate hone ka dard inake hriday ko har samay kachotata rahata hai. atm samarpan ke bad kuchh din ye log sho-pis bane idhar-udhar ghoomate rahate haian phir koee ghas nahian dalata. sab ki qismat phoolan jaisi nahian hoti ki saansad ban jay.
is saptah itana hi... agale saptah kuchh aur...
