jin-jin logoan ne kamare mean pravesh kiya vah sabhi achchhi tarah jane-pahachane log the.
d aauktar ne kaha, ao. lekin unake chehare ka bhav dekhate hi bharati samajh gee, kam-se-kam aj vah isake lie taiyar nahian the.
sumitra ke ane ke bare mean unhean pata tha. lekin sabhi log unake pichhe-pichhe chalate hue is par a ikatthe hue haian, isaki janakari unhean nahian thi. kisi bhi tarah ki koee akasmik ghatana nahian huee hai isalie unaki janakari ke bina hi kisi tarah ka gahan paramarsh ho chuka hai. isamean sandeh nahian hai. agantuk log akar chupachap pharsh par baith ge. kisi ke acharan se ratti bhar bhi ashchary ya uttejana prakat nahian huee. yah bat spasht roop se samajh mean a gee ki d aauktar ke sanbandh mean bhale n ho lekin d aauktar ke ane ke sanbandh mean vah pahale hi jan ge the. apoorv ke mamale ko lekar dal mean is prakar matabhed paida ho jaega yah ashanka bharati ke man mean thi. shayad aj hi isaka nishchit nirnay ho jaega. yah sochakar bharati ke hriday mean kanpakanpi hone lagi.
sumitra ke chehare par udasi thi. usane bharati se koee bat nahian ki. usaki or achchhi tarah dekha tak nahian. brajendr ne apani gerua pag di utarakar apani moti lathi se dabakar pas rakh li aur apani vishal sharir ko kath ki divar se tikakar aram se baith gaya. usaki golakar aankhoan ki hiansr drishti kabhi bharati aur kabhi d aauktar ke chehare par chakkar katane lagi. ramadas talavalakar chup tha. bairistar krishna ayyar sigaret jalakar pine laga aur navatara sabase door is tarah ja baithi jaise usaka kisi ke sath koee sanbandh hi n ho. aj vah bharati ko pahachan bhi n saki ho. kisi ke chehare par muskarahat tak ka nam nahian tha.
kuchh der bad brajendr apani karkash avaz se sabako chakit karata hua bol utha, apake svechchhachar ki ham log nianda karate haian d aauktar! agar maian apoorv ko kabhi pa gaya to....!
d aauktar ne vaky poora karate hue kaha, usaki jan le loge. yah kahakar unhoanne sumitra se poochha, kya tum sabhi log is adami ki bat ka samarthan karate ho?
sumitra sir jhukakar baithi rahi. any kisi ne bhi is prashn ka uttar nahian diya.
kuchh pal chup rahakar d aauktar bole, maloom hota hai ki tum log samarthan karate ho. aur is bich is vishay par tum logoan mean vichar-vimarsh bhi ho chuka hai.
brajendr bola, haan, ho chuka hai. aur isaka pratikar hona bhi ham log avashyak samajhate haian.
d aauktar bole, maian bhi yahi samajhata hooan. lekin isase pahale ek avashyak bat yad dilana chahata hooan. sambhav hai atyant krodhavesh mean hone ke karan tum logoan ko yah bat yad n rahi ho. ahamad durrani ham logoan ke samooche uttari chin ka sekretari tha. us jaisa nirbhik aur kary-kushal adami ham logoan ke dal mean koee nahian tha. sanh 1910 eesvi mean japan dvara koriya rajy ko h dap lene ke ek mahine bad vah kisi relave steshan par pak da gaya. use shanghaee mean phaansi di gee. sumitra tumane durrani ko dekha tha?
sumitra ne kaha, haan.
d aauktar ne kaha, tab maian chhita se toote hue dal ke poorn gathan mean vyast tha. mujhe is bat ki khabar tak nahian mili ki mera ek hath toot gaya hai. jis samay adalat mean usake virudhd vichar ka tamasha ho raha tha, us samay use bacha lena tanik bhi kathin nahian tha. ham logoan ke adhikaansh adami un dinoan vahian rah rahe the. phir bhi itani b di durghatana kaise ho gee, janate ho? phaijabad ke mathura dube ne bar-bar atyant tuchchh avichar kuvichar ki shikayatean kar-karake dal ke logoan ke man ko ekadam vishaila bana diya tha. durrani ki mrityu se jaise sabhi ki jan bach gee. mere laut ane ke bad jab keantan ki mitiang mean sari batean prakat hueean tab durrani is lok mean nahian tha. mathura dube bhi taiphaid jvar se mar chuka tha. pratikar ke lie kuchh bhi shesh nahian rah gaya tha. lekin bhavishy ke bhay se us rat ki gupt sabha mean do atyant kathor qanoon pas kie ge the. krishna ayyar tum to vahaan maujood the, batao.
krishna ayyar ka chehara sookh gaya. vah bola, ap jo ishara kar rahe haian, maian use samajh nahian pa raha d aauktar.
d aauktar ne ratti bhar bhi hichake bina kaha, suno brajendr, ek qanoon tha ki mere pichhe kisi kam ki alochana nahian ho sakati?
brajendr vyangy se bola, alochana nahian ki ja sakati?
d aauktar bole, nahian, pichhe nahian ki ja sakati. lekin ki jati hai, maian yah janata hooan. isaka karan yah hai ki us din keantan ki sabha mean jo log maujood the vah durrani ki mrityu se jitane udvign ho uthe the maian nahian hua tha. isalie yah kam hota chala a raha hai aur maian bhi anadekha karata chala a raha hooan. lekin yah bhishan aparadh hai.
brajendr upeksha bhare svar mean bola, use bhi kah dalie.
d aauktar bole, mere virudhd vidroh ki bhavana paida karana atyant bhayankar aparadh hai. durrani ki mrityu ke bad mujhe savadhan ho jana chahie tha.
brajendr kathor ho utha, savadhan hone ki zaroorat doosaroan ke lie bhi vaisi hi ho sakati hai. yah zaroorat apake lie sarvadhikar ke roop mean nahian hai. yah kahakar usane sabaki or dekha. lekin sab maun baithe rahe. kisi ne koee uttar nahian diya.
kafi der bad d aauktar ne dhire-dhire kaha, isaki saza hai-bhayanak dand. socha tha, jane se pahale aur kuchh karooanga. lekin brajendr, tumhean sabr nahian hua. doosaroan ke pran lene ke lie tum hamesha taiyar rahate ho, lekin apane oopar a p dane par kaisa lagata hai, janate ho?
brajendr ka muanh kala p d gaya. jaldi se svayan ko sanbhal kar b de ghamand se bola, maian enarkist hooan. rivyolyooshanari hooan. pran mere lie kuchh nahian haian. le bhi sakata hooan aur de bhi sakata hooan.
d aauktar ne shaant svar mean kaha, tab to aj rat ko dene hi p deange, lekin belt nikal pane ka samay nahian milega. brajendr meri aankh hai. tumako maian pahachanata hooan. yah kahakar unhoanne phauran pistaul vala hath utha liya. bharati ne vyakul hokar unake us hath ko dabae rakhane ki cheshta ki lekin doosare hath se hatate hue bole, chhi:.
palabhar mean kamare mean jaise vajrapat ho gaya.
sumitra ke hoanth kaanpane lage. boli, apane hi bhitar yah sab kya ho raha hai, bataie to.
talavalakar ab tak chup tha. usane dhire se poochha, apake dal ke sabhi niyam mujhe maloom nahian haian apase matabhed hone ka dand kya mrityu hai? apoorv baboo bach ge haian. isase mujhe prasannata hi huee hai. lekin isamean anyay kam nahian hua hai yah saty kahane ke lie maian badhay hooan.
krishna ayyar ne sir hilakar sammati de di. brajendr ki avaz mean ab upahasapoorn shradhda nahian thi. any logoan ki sahanubhooti se shakti pakar bola, ek adami ke pran jane agar zaroori haian to phir mere hi chale jaean. maian taiyar hooan.
sumitra ne kaha, tretar ke badale agar jane-pahachane kamared ke khoon ki hi zaroorat hai to maian bhi de sakati hooan d aauktar.
d aauktar chupachap baithe rahe. sumitra ki bat ka uttar nahian diya.
do minat ke bad man-hi-man muskarakar bole, yah sab batean bahut hi purane samay ki haian. us samay tum log the hi kahaan? is jane-pahachane kamared ko maian hi usi samay se janata hooan. jane do is bat ko. tokiyo ke ek hotal mean ek din sanyal sen ne kaha tha, nirasha sahane ki shakti jisamean jitani kam ho use chahie ki vah raste se utani hi door hatakar chale. isalie maian sah looanga. lekin brajendr maianne tumhean jhoothamooth bhay nahian dikhaya hai. mujhe doosari jagah jana p d raha hai. disiplin toot jane se mera kam nahian chalega. agar sumitra tumhare dal mean shamil ho rahi hai to-aee vish yoo gudalak. lekin tum mera rasta chho d do. sukhaya mean ek bar atempad kar chuke haian. parasoan phir kiya, lekin isake bad nahian.....
sumitra ne udveg se chauankakar poochha, in sab batoan ka arth kya atempad karana hota hai.
d aauktar ne is prashn ko apane kanoan tak nahian pahuanchane diya. krishna ayyar ne sir nicha kar liya, lekin uttar nahian diya. d aauktar ne jeb se gh di nikalakar dekhi. phir bharati ka hath pak dakar bole, chalo, tumako dere par pahuanchakar maian chala jaooan. utho.
bharati sapane mean doobi-si baithi thi. ishara pate hi chupachap uth kh di huee. use apane age karake d aauktar kamare se bahar nikal ge. daravaze par se sabako sambodhit karake bole, gudanait.
is vidaee-shishtachar ka kisi ne uttar nahian diya. sabhi abhibhoot se stabdh baithe rahean.
bharati ke niche utar jane ke bad jab d aauktar oopar ki or najar rakhakar dhire-dhire utar rahe the tabhi sahasa shashi daravaze mean se muanh nikalakar bola, lekin mujhe to apase bahut zaroori kam hai d aauktar.yah kahakar niche utar unake pas a kh da hua aur saans rokakar bola, meri ganana to manushyoan mean ki hi nahian jati d aauktar. apake kisi kam ane ki shakti mujh mean nahian hai lekin apaka rrin jivan paryant nahian bhoolooanga.
d aauktar ne snehapoorvak usaka hath khianchate hue kaha, kaun kahata hai ki tum manushy nahian ho? tum kavi ho, guni ho, anek manushyoan se b de ho.
ap kahian bhi kyoan n rahean, mere pas jo kuchh hai sab apaka hai, is bat ko mat bhool jaiega.
bharati ne utsuk hokar poochha, kya bat hai bhaiya?
d aauktar ne hansate hue kaha, durdin mean to inhean chianta nahian thi lekin achanak achchhe din ate hi unhean chianta ho gee hai ki kahian aisa n ho ki inhean kritajnata ka rrin yad hi n rahe. isalie kah rahe haian ki jo kuchh inake pas hai sab mera hai.
bharati boli, aisi bat hai shashi baboo?
shashi kuchh nahian bola.
d aauktar ne kaha, yad rahega shashi, yad rahega. yah vastu sansar mean itani sulabh nahian hai ki koee bhool jae.
shashi ne kaha, ap kab jaiega?
d aauktar bole, tum to umr mean mujhase chhote ho. isalie ashirvad dekar ja raha hooan ki tum sukhi raho.
shashi ne kaha, kya agale shanivar tak nahian thahar sakate?
bharati boli, shanivar ko inaka vivah hoga.
d aauktar kuchh nahian bole. samane hi kich d mean p di tedhi nav par yatnapoorvak bharati ko chadhakar svayan bhi chadh ge.
shashi ne kaha, shanivar tak apako rukana hoga. jivan mean anek bhikhean di haian. yah bhi dijie. bharati, apako bhi us din ana hoga.
bharati chup rahi. d aauktar ne kaha, yah nahian aegi shashi. agar ruka raha to aooanga aur tum logoan ko ashirvad de jaooanga. maian vachan deta hooan. agar n aooan to samajh lena ki savyasachi ke lie ana asambhav tha. lekin jahaan bhi rahooan prarthana karooanga ki tumhara shesh jivan sukh se bite. yah kahakar nav chala di.
bharati boli, aj akeli hoti to itana roti ki nadi ka jal badh jata. bhaiya, bhavishy mean sabhi ko sukhi hone ka adhikar hai. nahian hai keval tum ko. shashi baboo itana ashobhaniy kam karane ja rahe haian unhean bhi ji kholakar ashirvad de ae. lekin is sansar mean tumhean ashirvad dene vala koee nahian hai. tum gurujan ho, chahe jo bhi ho. lekin aj tumhean maian ashirvad dooangi ki tumhara bhavishy sukhamay ho.
d aauktar hansakar bole, chhotoan ka ashirvad nahian phalata. usaka phal ulata hota hai.
bharati boli, jhooth hai. maian chhoti nahian hooan. ek doosari drishti se tumase b di hooan. jane se pahale tum sumitra jiji ke sath hamesha ke lie sanbandh to d dena chahate ho. yah maian nahian hone dooangi. tum kahoge ki maian sumitra ko pyar nahian karata. lekin tum purushoan ke pyar ka mooly hi kitana hai bhaiya? jo aj hai, vah kal nahian rahata. apoorv baboo bhi to mujhe pyar nahian kar sake. lekin maian kar saki hooan. mera kar sakana hi sab kuchh hai. tataiye mean madhu ikattha karane ki shakti nahian to isake lie kisase jhag da karane jaooan. lekin aj maian tumase kahe deti hooan bhaiya ki is sansar ko nachane vale prabhu koee bhi hoan, nari hriday ke prem ka mooly chukane ke lie unhean apoorv baboo ko lekar mere hathoan sauanp dena hi p dega. kuchh uttar pane ki asha mean bharati palabhar stabdh rahakar boli, bhaiya, tum man-hi-man hans rahe ho?
kahaan? nahian to.
zaroor. nahian to tumane uttar kyoan nahian diya?
d aauktar hans p de. bole, uttar dene ke lie kuchh tha hi nahian bharati, tumhare sansar ko nachane vale prabhu ko bhi agar is jabardasti ko manakar chalana p data to tumhari sumitra jiji ki kya halat hoti, janati ho?-brajendr ke hathoan mean svayan ko har prakar se sauanp dene par hi jan bachati.
bharati chakit nahian huee. aj ki ghatana ke bad se yahi sandeh usake man mean badhata ja raha tha. usane poochha, 'brajendr kya unako tumase bhi adhik pyar karate haian?
d aauktar bole, batana kuchh kathin hai. yah agar shudhd akarshan hi ho, manav samaj mean isaki tulana nahian mil sakati. laj nahian, sharm nahian, sambhram nahian. hit-ahit ka jnan lupt. pashuvath unmatt aveg, jo aankhoan se nahian dikhata, vah usake man ka parichay pa hi nahian sakata. bharati, agar tumhare bhaiya ke pas yah donoan hath jaisi chiz n hoti to sumitra ke lie atmahatya ke atirikt doosara koee marg hi nahian tha. sansar ko nachane vale tumhare prabhu bhi itane dinoan in logoan ki ijjat kie bina nahian rah sake haian. yah kahakar vah bharati ke jhuke hue sir par apane donoan hath rakhakar dhire-dhire thapakiyaan dene lage.
bharati boli, bhaiya, itana janate hue bhi tum isi paristhiti mean sumitra ko chho dakar chale jana chahate ho? tum itane nishthur ho sakate ho, maian soch bhi nahian sakati.
d aauktar bole, haan, sach hi maianne yahi chaha tha. is bich agar pulis use jel n bhej degi to laut ane par kisi din mujhe yah kam poora karana p dega.
bharati ke hriday ko gahara aghat laga. d aauktar samajh ge lekin kuchh bhi n kahakar us par jane ke lie donoan patavarean khianchakar nav khene lage.
bahut der bad bharati ne poochha, achchha bhaiya, yadi maian tumhari sumitra hoti to kya tum mujhe bhi isi tarah chho dakar chale jate?
d aauktar hansane lage. bole, lekin tum to sumitra nahian ho. tum bharati ho. isalie tumhean chho dakar nahian jaooanga. kam ke lie niyukt karake jaooanga.
bharati ne vyagr hokar kaha, mujhe bachao bhaiya, tum logoan ki khoon-kharabi mean ab maian shamil nahian hooan. tumhari gupt samiti ka kam ab mujhase nahian hoga.
d aauktar ne kaha, isaka arth to yahi hai ki tum bhi in logoan ki tarah mujhe chho dakar jana chahati ho.
yah sunakar bharati kshobh se vyakul ho uthi. boli, itani b di anyayapoorn bat tum mujhase kah sakate ho bhaiya. tum jo ichchha ho kah sakate ho. lekin maian apani hi ichchha se tumhean chho dakar chali gee, yah bat yad ane par ek din bhi jivit rah sakati hooan, aisa tumhara khayal hai? maian tumhara hi kam karati rahooangi jab tak ki tum apani ichchha se mujhe chhutti n doge. tho di der rukakar boli, lekin maian janati hooan ki manushy ki hatya karate hue ghoomate rahana hi tumhara vastavik kam nahian hai. tumhara vastavik kam hai manushy ko manushy ki tarah jivit rakhana. maian tumhare isi kam mean lagi rahooangi aur maian yahi sochakar tum logoan ki bich aee thi.
d aauktar ne poochha, yah mera kaun-sa kam hai?
bharati boli, path ke davedaroan ko gupt samiti ke roop mean parinat karane ki zaroorat nahian hai. karakhane ke mazadoor-mistriyoan ki halat maian apani aankhoan se dekh aee hooan. unake pas kushiksha aur unaki janavaroan jaisi halat-agar samooche jivan mean unaka ratti bhar bhi pratikar kar sakooan to isase badhakar mere jivan ki sarthakata aur kya ho sakati hai? sach batao bhaiya, yah kya tumhara kam nahian hai.
d aauktar bole, yah kam tumhara nahian hai bharati. tumhare lie doosara kam hai. yah kam sumitra ka hai. maianne is kam ka sara bhar usi par chho d rakha hai.
bharati chup rahi.
d aauktar ne usi tarah shaant aur mridu svar mean kaha, tumase kah dena hi uchit hai bharati. kuchh tho de se kuli-mazadooroan ki bhalaee ke lie hi maianne 'path ke davedar' ki sthapana nahian ki hai. isaka lakshy bahut b da hai. us lakshy ke lie, ho sakata hai kisi din inhian logoan ko bhe d-bakariyoan ki tarah bali chadha dena p de-tum usamean mat rahana bahin. tum ise n kar sakogi.
bharati chauankakar boli, yah tum kya kah rahe ho bhaiya? kya manushyoan ki bali chadhaoge?
d aauktar ne kaha, manushy haian kahaan? janavar hi to haian.
bharati boli, manushy ke sanbandh mean tum majak mean bhi aisi bat muanh se mat nikalana, kahe deti hooan. jhooth-mooth darane ki koshish mat karo.
d aauktar bole, nahian bharati, jhooth-mooth nahian. sachamuch darane ki koshish kar raha hooan jisase mere chale jane ke bad tum kuli-mazadooroan ki bhalaee ke chakkar mean n p do. is tarike se inaki bhalaee nahian ki ja sakati. inaki bhalaee ki ja sakati hai keval kraanti ke dvara. isi marg par chalane ke lie maianne path ke davedar ki rachana ki hai. kraanti shaanti nahian hai. use hamesha hiansa ke bich se hi qadam rakhakar chalana p data hai. yahi usaka varadan hai aur yahi abhishap! ek bar yoorop ki or dhyan se dekho. hangari mean aisa hi hua hai. kuli-mazadooroan ke khoon se us din nagar ke sabhi rajapath raktim ho uthe the. japan mean to abhi usi din ki bat hai-us desh mean bhi mazadooroan ke du:kh ka itihas biandu barabar bhi isase bhinn nahian hai. manushy ke chalane ka marg bina upadrav nahian banata bharati.
bharati siharakar boli, yah maian nahian janati. lekin un sab bhayanak upadravoan ko kya tum is desh mean bhi khianch laoge? karakhanoan ke raste mean kya mazadooroan ke rakt ki nadi baha dena chahate ho?
d aauktar ne sahaj bhav se kaha, avashy chahata hooan mahamanav ke mukti sagar mean manaviy rakt dhara tarangit hokar dau dati jaegi, yahi mera svapn hai. itane dinoan ka parvat jaisa vishal pap dhulega kis chiz se? aur is dhulaee ke kam mean agar tumhare bhaiya ke do booand rakt ki bhi avashyakata p degi to maian hansakar bahaooanga.
bharati bole, itana to maian apako pahachanati hooan bhaiya. lekin kya desh mean ashaanti phaila dene ke lie hi tum jal bichhakar baithe ho? isase b da adarsh kya apake pas nahian hai?
d aauktar bole, aj tak to mila nahian bahin, bahut ghoom chuka, padh chuka aur vichar kar chuka. lekin bharati, ashaanti utpann karane ka arth akalyan utpann karana nahian hai. shaanti, shaanti sunate-sunate kan bahare ho ge haian. is asaty ka prachar kin logoan ne kiya, janati ho? doosaroan ki shaanti ka haran karake jo prasadoan mean baithe haian, vah hi isake pravartak haian. vanchit, pi dit nar-nariyoan ko lagatar yah mantr sunakar un logoan ko aisa bana diya hai ki ve ashaanti ke nam se hi chauank uthate haian aur sochane lagate haian ki shayad yah pap hai, amangal hai. bandhi huee gay kh di-kh di mar hi jati hai, lekin purani rassi ko to dakar malik ki shaanti bhang nahian karati, isilie to aj daridroan ke chalane ka marg ekadam band ho gaya hai. phir bhi unhian logoan ki attalikaoan tatha prasadoan ko to dane ke kam mean ham log bhi unhian logoan ke sath milakar, ashaanti kahakar rone lageange to rasta kahaan milega? yah nahian ho sakata bharati. yah sanstha kitani prachin, kitani pavitr, kitani hi sanatan ho, manushy se b di nahian hai. aj un sab ko hamean to d chalana hoga.
bharati saans rokakar boli, isake bad?
d aauktar bole, isake bad-vah phir mazadooroan ke dal mean jakar unhian hatyaroan ke dvar par hath phailate haian, unhean usaki daya bhi milati hai.
isake bad?
isake bad phir ek din vah log dal-badhd hokar purane atyacharoan ke pratikar ki asha se h datal kar baithate haian. tab phir vahi purani kahani doharaee jane lagati hai.
palabhar ko bharati ka man phir nirasha se bhar gaya. dhire-dhire boli, tab aisi h datal se kya labh hai bhaiya?
d aauktar ki aankhoan ki drishti aandhere mean chamak uthi. bole, labh? yahi to sabase b da labh hai bharati. yahi to tumhari kraanti ka rajapath hai. vastrahin, annahin, jnanahin daridroan ki parajay hi saty huee. unake samooche hriday mean jo vish bharakar uphan uthata hai, jagath mean vah shakti kya saty nahian hai? vahi to mera mooladhan hai. kahian bhi, kisi bhi desh mean keval kraanti ke lie hi kraanti nahian ki ja sakati bharati. usake lie koee-n-koee adhar avashy chahie. yahi to mera adhar hai. jo moorkh is bat ko nahian janata keval mazadoori ki kami-beshi ke lie h datal karana chahata hai, vah un logoan ka bhi sarvanash karata hai aur desh ka bhi.
bharati boli, nav shayad pichhe chali gee bhaiya.
d aauktar bole, meri najar mean hai bahin. kahaan jana hai, bhoola nahian hooan.
bharati boli, mujhe isamean se alag kyoan kar dena chahate ho? itani der ke bad yah bat meri samajh mean aee hai. maian bahut kamazor hooan-shayad unaki tarah hi. aj bhi tumhara sara bharosa sumitra jiji par hai. lekin yah bat maian kisi bhi tarah nahian manooangi ki isake atirikt aur koee marg nahian, manushy ki sari khoj samapt ho chuki hai. ek ke mangal ke lie doosare ka amangal karana hi hoga. ise maian kisi bhi tarah nahian man sakati. tumhare kahane par bhi nahian.
yah maian janata hooan bahin.
tumhara kam chho dakar maian kisake sahare rahooangi? agar lautakar n ae to kaise jiooangi?
yah bhi maian janata hooan.
janate to tum sab kuchh ho......tab?
kuchh der sannata raha. phir bharati boli, kraanti kya hai? isaki itani avashyakata kyoan hai?- tumhare muanh se jab sunati hooan to mera ant:karan rone lagata hai. manav ke du:kh ka itihas tumane n jane kitana dekha hai. nahian to is tarah tumako kisane pagal banaya hai? achchha, kya tum mujhe apane sath nahian le ja sakate bhaiya?
tum kya pagal ho gee ho bharati?
pagal? aisa hi hoga. maloom hota hai maian tumhare kam mean badhak hooan. isilie desh ke kisi bhi achchhe kam mean kam nahian a sakati.
d aauktar bole, desh mean achchhe kam karane ke asankhy marg haian bharati-lekin avasar svayan hi khojana p data hai.
bharati boli, maian yah nahian kar sakati. tum hi taiyar karake de jao.
palabhar maun rahakar d aauktar bole. unaka hansata hua chehara sahasa gambhir ho utha tha jise aandhere mean bharati dekh nahian paee; desh mean chhoti-b di anek aisi sansthaean haian jo desh ke lie anek achchhe kam karati haian. pi ditoan ki seva, rogiyoan ke lie dava jutana, unhean saantvana dena, badh-pi ditoan ki sahayata-yah hi tumhean marg dikha deangi bharati. lekin maian to kraantikari hooan. mujhamean moh nahian, daya nahian, sneh nahian, pap-puny mere lie mithya parihas haian. yah sab achchhe kam l dakoan ke khel sarikhe haian. bharat ki svadhinata hi mera ekamatr lakshy hai, mera ekamatr sadhan hai. mere lie yahi achchha hai aur yahi bura bhi hai. isake atirikt mere jivan mean mere lie kahian bhi kuchh nahian hai. ab mujhe mat khiancho bharati.
aj shashi aur navatara ka vivah hai. shashi ki savinay prarthana thi ki rat ko d aauktar bharati ko sath lekar a jaean aur un logoan ko ashirvad de jaean. bharati kale repar se apane sharir ko dhanke chupachap qadam badhati huee, ghat ke kinare ja kh di huee. d aauktar nav mean usaki pratiksha kar rahe the.
nav mean chadhakar bharati boli, kya-kya batean sochati huee a rahi thi, koee thikana nahian hai. maian janati thi ki mujhe batae bina tum kabhi nahian jaoge. phir bhi bhay door nahian hota. abhi din hi kitane bite haian lekin aisa lagata tha jaise kitane hi yugoan se tumhean nahian dekha hai. bhaiya, maian tumhare sath chiniyoan ke desh mean chalooangi. yah maian batae deti hooan.
d aauktar ne hansate hue kaha, maian bhi batae deta hooan ki tum is tarah ka koee kam karane ki koshish kabhi n karana. yah kahakar unhoanne bhate ke bahav mean nav chho d di. bole, 'itani door tak aram se chale jaeange. lekin nadi mean pahuanchakar ulate bahav ko thelakar pahuanchane mean bahut der ho jaegi.
bharati boli, ho jae to kya? kaun b de shubh kary mean bhag lene ja rahe ho ki samay bit jane se hani hogi. meri to jane ki ichchha hi nahian thi. keval tum ja rahe ho, is lie chal rahi hooan. kaisa ganda kam ho raha hai, batao to.
pal bhar maun rahakar d aauktar ne kaha, shashi ka navatara ke sath vivah bahut se logoan ke sanskar mean khatak raha hai. shayad yah desh ke qanoon ke bhi virudhd hai, lekin yah dosh shashi ka to hai nahian. qanoon aur use banane ke lie jo log uttaradayi haian unhian ka dosh hai. mujhe keval itana hi kshobh hai ki shashi ne kisi any stri ko pyar nahian kiya.
bharati hansakar boli, man leti hooan ki shashi baboo kisi doosari stri ko pyar karate, lekin vah unhean kyoan pyar karati? un jaise adami ko jan-boojhakar koee stri pyar kar sakati hai, is bat ki to maian kalpana bhi nahian kar sakati. achchha, tumhian batao, kya koee kar sakati hai?
d aauktar bole, use pyar karana kathin to hai hi. isilie to use ashirvad dene ke lie maian ruk gaya. man mean vichar aya ki yadi sachchi shubhakamana mean koee shakti ho to shashi ko usaka phal mile.
unaki avaz mean achanak gambhirata a jane ke karan bharati ne bahut der chup rahane ke bad poochha. shashi baboo ko pyar karate ho bhaiya?
haan.
kyoan?
tumhean hi kyoan itana pyar karata hooan-kya isaka karan bata sakata hooan? shayad isi tarah ho sakata hai.
bharati ne adar se poochha, achchha bhaiya, tumhare lie kya ham donoan ek hi saman haian? phir doosare hi pal hansati-huee boli, phir bhi itane dinoan mean apana mooly bahut pa gee. chalo, maian bhi tumhare sath chalakar prasannata poorvak unhean ashirvad ....nahian, nahian pranam kar aooan.
d aauktar bhi hans p de, bole, chalo.
bharati boli, bhaiya, jaise samudr ki thah nahian hai, usi tarah tumhari bhi koee thah nahian hai. sneh karo, pyar kaho, tumhare oopar nirbhar hokar kuchh bhi dridhata se kh da nahian rah sakata, sabhi n jane kahaan sama jate haian.
pahale jo samudr ki thah hai. isalie is sanbandh mean tumhari yah upama galat hai.
bharati boli, is vishay mean shayad maian tumako sau bar kah chuki hooan ki tumhare atirikt is sansar mean mera aur koee nahian hai. tumhare chale jane par maian kahaan kh di rahooangi? lekin yah bat tumhare kanoan tak pahuanchati hi nahian hai. aur pahuanchegi kis tarah bhaiya, tumhare pas hriday to hai nahian. maian thik-thak janati hooan ki ek bar aankh se ojhal hote hi tum mujhe zaroor bhool jaoge.
d aauktar bole, nahian, tumhari yad hamesha bani rahegi.
bharati boli, kya bharosa lekar maian rahooangi bhaiya?
saubhagyavati striyaan jis bharose ko lekar rahati haian. pati, bal-bachche, ghar-dvar...!
bharati krudhd hokar boli, maianne apoorv baboo ko mukt hriday se pyar kiya tha-is saty ko tumase chhipaya nahian. unako pa jati to mera jivan dhany ho jata. lekin isi karan tum mera apaman karate rahate ho, kyoan?
apaman? maianne to apaman nahian kiya bharati.
aansoo bhar jane ke karan bharati ruandhe gale se boli, kaise nahian kiya? tum janate ho ki is kam mean kitani badhaean haian. tum janate ho ki vah mujhe kabhi grahan nahian kar sakate. phir bhi tum yah batean kahate ho.
d aauktar ne muskarakar kaha, striyoan mean yahi to sabase b da dosh hai. vah svayan ek din jo bat kah deti haian agar koee doosara vahi bat doosare din kah de to vah jhatapat marane dau dati haian. us din sumitra ki bat par tumane kaha tha ki vah kisi din kisi ko khianchakar pairoan tale la gira degi. aur aj usi bat ko maianne dohara diya to rone lagian.
nahian, yah batean mujhase mat kaho.
achchha nahian kahooanga, lekin is bar ki yatra se yadi bachakar laut aya to yah bat mere pairoan ke pas gale mean aanchal baandhakar tumhean svikar karani p degi-bhaiya, mujhase karo doan aparadh hue haian. avashy hi tum hath dekhana janate ho. nahian to mere saubhagy ke bare mean itani sachchi bat kaise kah sakate the.
bharati ne isaka uttar nahian diya.
kuchh der chup rahakar d aauktar bole, to laga jaise unake kanth svar mean ek adbhut svar a mila ho. unhoanne kaha, us rat jab tum sumitra ki bat kah rahi thian bharati, tab maian usaka uttar nahian de paya tha. maian is path ka yatri nahian hooan. phir bhi tumhare muanh se sumitra ki kahani sunakar mere roangate kh de ho ge the. sansar mean ghoomakar anek chijoan ke bare mean janakari prapt ki hai lekin keval nar-nari ke prem tatv ke sanbandh mean kuchh bhi nahian jan paya hooan. bahin, asambhav namak shabd is sansar mean shayad inhian logoan ke kosh mean nahian likha hai.
bharati boli, tumhari bat sach ho bhaiya. vah shabd tum logoan ke kosh se bhi mit jae. sumitra jiji ka bhagy ek din prasann ho. tho di der thaharakar usane kaha, maianne bahut soch-vichar kar liya hai lekin usamean ab mera apana anand nahian hai. ab maian usaki asha bhi nahian karati. apoorv baboo ko maian sachamuch hi pyar karati hooan. bhale hoan ya bure hoan-maian ab unako bhool nahian sakooangi, lekin isaka arth yah nahian ki unaki patni n ban pane par, unaki ghar-grihasthi n kar pane par mera jivan vyarth ho jaega. mere lie shok ki yah bat nahian hai bhaiya. maian sach kah rahi hooan ki mujhe shaant man se ashirvad dekar rasta dikhate jao. tumhari tarah maian bhi doosaroan ke kam mean hi apane is jivan ko sarthak kar dalooangi. bhaiya, apani is nirashrit bahin ko apana sathi bana lo.
d aauktar chupachap nav chalane lage. itane vinay bhare anurodh ka unhoanne uttar nahian diya.
aandhere ke karan bharati unaka chehara nahian dekh paee, lekin unake maun se use asha bandhi. is bar usaki avaz mean sneh poorn nivedan ki vivi d vedana ubharakar oopar tak chali aee. boli, le chaloge bhaiya, apane sath? tumhare atirikt is aandhakar mean booand bhar bhi prakash mujhe kahian nahian dikhaee p data.
d aauktar bole, asambhav hai bharati. tumhari batoan ne aj mujhe joa ki yad dila di. tumhari tarah hi usaka amooly jivan bhi akaran nasht ho gaya tha. bharat ki svadhinata ke atirikt mera aur koee bhi lakshy nahian hai. jivan mean isase badhakar aur koee kamana nahian hai-aisi bhool mujhase kabhi nahian huee hai. svadhinata ka aant nahian hai. dharm, shaanti, kavy, anand, yah sab aur bhi hai. inake charam vikas ke lie hi to svadhinata chahie. nahian to usaka mooly kya hai? isake lie maian tumhari hatya nahian kar sakata bahin. tumhare aandar jo hriday-sneh, prem, karuna aur madhury se labalab bhar utha hai ki vah mere prayojan ko par karake bahut ooanchaee tak chala gaya hai. hath badhane par bhi maian vahaan tak nahian pahuanch sakata.
bharati ka sarvaang pulakit hokar romaanchit ho utha. savyasachi ke gambhir hriday ki ek anuroop moorti mano sahasa usane dekh li. mukti aur anand se vigalit hokar boli, maian bhi to yahi sochati rahi hooan bhaiya ki tumhare lie is sansar ka kaun-sa vishay ajnat hai aur agar aisi bat hai to tum is shadayantr mean lupt hokar kyoan p de ho? manav ka charam kalyan to inake dvara kabhi ho hi nahian sakata.
d aauktar bole, thik, yahi bat hai. lekin charam kalyan ka bhar ham vidhata ke hathoan mean hi chho dakar kshudr manav ke lie jo samany kalyan hai usi ko karane ki cheshta karate haian. apane desh mean svadhin bhav se bat karane, svadhin bhav se chalane-phirane ke adhikar ka hi hamara dava hai. ham isase adhik aur kuchh nahian chahate bharati.
bharati boli, yah to sabhi chahate haian bhaiya. lekin isake lie nar-hatya ka shadayantr kyoan? isaki avashyakata hi kya hai? -lekin yah bat kahakar bharati lajjit ho uthi. phir ek pal rukakar boli, mujhe kshama karo bhaiya? maianne krodhavesh mean yah jhoothi bat kah dali. mujhe chho dakar tum chale jaoge, maian yah soch bhi nahian sakati.
yah maian janata hooan.
isake bad bahut der tak phir koee batachit nahian huee.
us samay kuchh dinoan svadeshi aandolan samooche bharat mean phail chuka tha. desh bhar ke netagan desh-udhdar ke uddeshy ke qanoon banakar jo jalate hue bhashan dete hue ghoom rahe the unhian ke saraansh akhabaroan mean padhakar bharati shradhda aur vismay se bhar jati thi. pichhali rat ko aisi hi ek romaanchakari ghatana akhabar mean padhane ke bad se aj din mean uttejana ki ek tapt hava usake man mean bahati rahi thi. usi ko yad karake vah boli, maian janati hooan ki aangreji rajy mean tumhare lie sthan nahian hai, lekin sara sansar hi to unaka nahian hai. vahaan jakar tum log saral aur prakat roop se apane uddeshyoan ki sidhdi ke lie cheshta kar sakate ho. achchha bhaiya, kal ke bangala akhabar mean....!
d aauktar bich mean hi hans p de, bole, bachao bharati, hamase tulana karake un poojyaniyoan ka apaman mat karo.
bharati boli, tumhian un par vyangy bhari chhiantakashi kar rahe ho.
d aauktar bole, bilkul nahian, un logoan ki maian bhakti karata hooan aur unake deshodhdar ke lie kie ge bhashanoan ko ham logoan se adhik upayog bhi koee nahian karata.
bharati boli, tum logoan ka marg bhale hi ek n ho lekin uddeshy to ek hi hai.
d aauktar bole, abhi tak maian sachamuch hans raha tha lekin ab maian krodh karooanga bharati. rasta ek nahian hai, yah jani huee bat hai. lekin lakshy usase bhi adhik spasht hai, yah kya tumhari samajh mean nahian aya? sansar ki anek jatiyaan svadhin haian. isase badhakar doosara koee gaurav manav jati ke lie nahian hai. us svadhinata ka dava karana, usake lie cheshta karana to door ki bat hai, usaki kamana karana, kalpana karana bhi aangrejoan ke qanoon mean rajadroh mana gaya hai. maian usi aparadh ka aparadhi hooan. chirakal tak paradhin rahana hi is desh ka qanoon hai. isalie yah sab chatur, poojy vyakti qanoon se bahar kabhi koee dava nahian karate. chin desh ke manchoo rajaoan ki tarah is desh mean bhi agar aangrez yah qanoon bana dete ki sabako dhaee hath lambi choti rakhani p degi. tab us choti ke virudhd bhi yah log kisi tarah ki gair qanooni prarthana n karate. yah log yah kahakar aandolan karate ki dhaee hath ki choti rakhane ka qanoon banakar desh ke prati bahut b da anyay kiya gaya hai. isase desh ka sarvanash ho jaega isalie ise ghatakar sava do hath kar diya jae.-itana kahakar vah apani rasikata se praphullit hokar sahasa is tarah thathakar hans p de ki nadi ki aandhakaramay niravata bhi vikshubdh ho uthi.
hansi rukane par bharati boli, tum jo kuchh bhi kyoan n kaho, lekin yah bat maian kisi bhi tarah nahian man sakati ki vah bhi deshavasiyoan ke lie abhinandaniy nahian hai. maian sabhi ki bat nahian kar rahi hooan. lekin jo log vastav mean rajanitijn haian, vastav mean desh ke shubhachiantak haian, unaka sara parishram hi vyarth hai. yah bat nissankoch svikar kar lena kathin hai. mat aur marg prithak-prithakh hote hue bhi kisi ki upeksha karana shobha nahian deta.
usaki avaz ki gambhirata anubhav karake d aauktar chup ho ge. kuchh der bad dhire se bole, bharati, tumako vyatha pahuanchana mera abhipray nahian hai. unake rajanitik paandity par bhi meri bhakti kam nahian hai. lekin bat kya hai? tumhean isaki vastavik janakari kara deta hooan bahin. jab koee grihasth chhoti rassi se gay ko baandhata hai to us chhoti rassi mean keval ek hi niti rahati hai. maian keval itana hi janata hooan. bilkul pahuanch ke bahar rakhe ge khady padarth ki or ji-jan se muanh badhakar use chatane ya khane ki gay ki cheshta mean avaidhata kuchh bhi nahian hai. vah nitaant vaidhanik aur qanoon sammat hai. utsah dene yogy hriday ho to de sakati ho raja ki or se manahi nahian hai. lekin gay ya bail ke is udyam ko jo log bahar se dekhate haian, unake lie hansi rok pana kathin ho jata hai.
bharati hansakar boli, tum b de dusht ho bhaiya. lekin yah bat samajh mean nahian ati ki jisake pran rat-din patale dhage mean latak rahean hoan vah doosaroan ki bat par hansi-majak kaise karata hai?
d aauktar ne svabhavik svar mean kaha, isaka karan yah hai ki is samasya par pahale hi vichar ho chuka hai bharati, jis din se maianne kraantikari kamoan mean bhag liya hai. ab mujhe kuchh sochana bhi nahian hai, shikayat bhi nahian hai. maian janata hooan ki mujhe hath mean pakar bhi jo rajashakti mujhe chho d deti hai, vah to asamarth hai ya phir unake pas phaansi dene ke lie rassi nahian hai.
bharati boli, isilie to maian tumhare sath rahana chahati hooan, bhaiya. mere hote hue tumhare pran le sake, aisi shakti sansar mean koee bhi nahian hai. yah maian kisi bhi tarah nahian hone dooangi.-kahate-kahate usaki avaz bhari ho uthi.
d aauktar ko isaka pata chal gaya. chupachap lambi saans lekar vah bole, nav par ab jvar lag raha hai bharati. ab hamean pahuanchane mean der nahian hogi.
bharati boli, hatao. jane do. mujhe kuchh bhi achchha nahian lag raha.
do minat ke bad usane poochha, itani b di rajashakti ko tum log sharirik shakti se hilakar gira sakate ho-is bat mean kya tum sachamuch hi vishvas karate ho bhaiya?
d aauktar bole, karata hooan aur poore hriday se karata hooan. itana b da vishvas n rahata to mera itana b da vrat bahut din pahale hi bhang ho gaya hota.
bharati boli, lekin shayad dhire-dhire apane kamoan mean se tum mujhe nikalate ja rahe ho. thik hai n bhaiya?
d aauktar muskarate hue bole, nahian aisi bat nahian hai bharati, lekin vishvas hi to shakti hai. vishvas n rahane se to sandeh ke karan tumhara karttavy kadam-kadam par bojh-sa ho uthega. sansar mean tumhare lie doosare kam haian bahin. kalyanakari shaantipoorn marg haian jis par tum apane sampoorn hriday se vishvas karati ho usi kam ko tum karo.
agadh sneh ke karan hi yah vyakti apane atyant sankatapoorn viplav ke marg se door hata dena chahata hai. isaka bhali-bhaanti anubhav karake bharati ki sajal aankhoan se aansoo um d pade. chhipakar aandhere mean dhire-dhire aansoo poanchhakar boli, bhaiya, meri bat sunakar naraj mat hona. itani b di raj-shakti, kitani b di sainy-shakti, kitane upakaran, yuddh ka kitana vichitr aur bhayanak ayojan- inake samane tumhara kraantikari dal kitana-sa hai? samudr ke samane tum gobaraile se bhi to chhote ho. usake sath tum apani shakti ki pariksha kis prakar karana chahate ho? pran dena chahate ho to jakar de do. lekin isase b da pagalapan mujhe aur koee dikhaee nahian deta. tum kahoge, tab kya desh ka udhdar nahian hoga? pranoan ke bhay se kya alag hatakar kh da ho jaooan? lekin maian yah nahian kah rahi hooan, tumhare pas rahakar tumhare charitr se maian yah jan gee hooan-ki janani janm-bhoomi kya chiz hai. usake charanoan se sarvasv arpan kar sakane se badhakar sarthakata manushy ke lie aur nahian ho sakati. yah bat bhi agar tumako dekhakar maian n sikh saki hoooan to mujhase badhakar kisi adham nari ne janm hi nahian liya, yah manana p dega. lekin keval atm-hatya karake hi kab kaun desh svatantr hua hai. tumhari bharati kisi tarah keval jivit rahana chahati hai. itani b di galat dharana mere sanbandh mean kabhi mat rakhana, bhaiya.
d aauktar bole, aisi hi bat hai.
aisi hi bat kya?
tumhare sanbandh mean galati to huee hi hai, yah kahakar kuchh der ke lie d aauktar maun ho ge. phir bole, bharati, viplav ka arth hai- atyant shighrata se amool parivartan. sainy bal, virat yuddh ke upakaran, yah sab maian janata hooan. lekin shakti-pariksha to ham logoan ka lakshy nahian hai. aj jo log hamare shatru haian kal vah hi log mitr bhi ho sakate haian. nilakaant shakti parikshan ke lie nahian gaya tha, usane mitr banane ke lie pran die the. hay re nilakaant! aj koee usaka nam tak nahian janata.
aandhakar ke bich bhi bharati ne spasht roop se samajh liya ki desh ke bahar, desh ke kam mean jis l dake ne logoan ki najaroan se bachakar chupachap pran de die use yad karake is nirvikar atyadhik-sanyat vyakti ka gambhir hriday pal bhar ke lie alo dit ho utha hai. achanak vah sidhe hokar baith ge. bole, kya kah rahi thi bharati, gobaraila? aisa hi ho shayad. lekin ag ki jo chinagari gaanv-nagar jalakar bhasm kar deti hai vah akar mean kitani b di hoti hai? janati ho? shahar jab jalata hai tab vah apana eeandhan ap hi ikattha karake bhasm hota rahata hai. usake rakh hone ki samagri usi ke aandar sanchit rahati hai. vishv-vidhn ke is niyam ka koee bhi raj-shakti kabhi bhi vyatikram nahian kar sakati.
bharati boli, bhaiya tumhari bat sunane se sharir kaanpane lagata hai. jis raj-shakti ko tum jala dena chahate ho, usaka eeandhan to hamare desh ke log haian. itane b de lanka kaand ki kalpana karate hue kya tumhare man mean karuna nahian jagati?
d aauktar ne spasht shabdoan mean kaha, nahian. prayashchit shabd kya keval muanh se kahane ke lie hi hai? hamare poorvaj-pitamahoan ke yugoan se sanchit kie ge papoan ko aparimey stoop kaise samapt hoga-bata sakati ho? karuna ki apeksha nyay-dharm bahut b di chiz hai bharati.
bharati boli, yahaan tumhari purani bat hai bhaiya. bharat ki svatantrata ke sanbandh mean raktapat ke atirikt aur kuchh jaise tumhare man mean a hi nahian sakata, raktapat ka uttar kya raktapat hi ho sakata hai? aur usake uttar mean bhi to raktapat ke atirikt kuchh nahian milata. yah prashnottar to adam kal se hi hota chala a raha hai. tab kya manav sabhyata isase b da uttar kisi din de nahian sakegi? desh chala gaya. lekin usase bhi b da jo manushy hai vah to aj bhi maujood hai. manushy-manushy ke sath apas mean l daee-jhag da n karake kya kisi tarah rah nahian sakate?
d aauktar bole, ek aangrez kavi ne kaha hai ki pashchim aur poorv kisi din bhi nahian mil sakate.
bharati boli, moorkh hai vah kavi. kahane do use. tum jnani ho. tumase maianne anek bar poochha hai, aj bhi poochha rahi hooan. hone do unhean pashchim ya yorop ka manushy. lekin hai to vah manushy hi? manushy ke sath manushy kya kisi prakar bhi mitrata nahian kar sakata. bhaiya, maian eesaee hooan. aangrejoan ki rrini hooan. unake anek sadgun maianne dekhe haian. un logoan ko itana bura sochane par meri chhati mean shool-sa biandh jata hai. lekin mujhe galat mat samajhana bhaiya. maian bangali l daki hooan. tumhari bahin hooan. bangal ki mitti aur bangal ke manushyoan ko apane pranoan se badhakar pyar karati hooan. kaun janata hai, tumane jis jivan ko chun liya hai, use dekhate hue shayad aj hi ham logoan ki aantim bheant ho. shaant man se aj uttar dete jao jisase usi or drishti rakhakar jivan bhar najar uthakar sidhi chal sakooan, kahate-kahate usaka gala ruandh gaya.
d aauktar chupachap nav khete rahe. vilamb dekhakar bharati ke man mean yah vichar aya ki shayad vah isaka uttar nahian dena chahate. usane hath badhakar nadi ke pani se muanh dho dala. apane aanchal se achchhi tarah poanchhakar phir n maloom vah kya prashn karane ja rahi thi ki d aauktar bol uthe, ek tarah ke aise saanp hote haian bharati, jo saanp khakar hi jite haian. tumane dekhe haian?
bharati ne kaha, nahian, dekhe nahian. keval suna hai.
d aauktar bole, pashushala mean haian. ek bar kalakatte jakar apoorv ko adesh dena, vah dikha dega.
majak mat karo bhaiya, achchha nahian hoga.
achchha nahian hoga, maian bhi yahi kah raha hooan. unaka pas-pas rahana thik nahian hota, lekin vishvas n ho to chi diya ghar ke iancharj se poochh lena.
bharati chup hi rahi. d aauktar bole, tum un logoan ke dharm ko manati ho. unaki rrini ho. unake anek sadgun tumane apani aankhoan se dekhe haian. lekin kya tumane dekha hai unaki vishv ko h dap lene vali virat bhool ka parinam? vah log is desh ke svami haian. aj british sampatti ki tulana nahian ki ja sakati. kitane jahaj, kitane kal-karakhane, kitani hajaroan-lakhoan imaratean. manushyoan ko mar dalane ke upakaranoan aur ayojanoan ka aant nahian hai. apane samast abhavoan aur har prakar ki avashyakataoan ko mitakar bhi aangrejoan ne sanh 1910 se lekar satrah varshoan tak bahari deshoan ko rrin diya tha-tin hazar karo d rupe. janati ho, is virat vaibhav ka udgam kahaan hai? apane ko tum bang desh ki l daki bata rahi thi n? bangal ki mitti, bangal ki jalavayu, bangal ke manushy, tumhare lie pranoan se bhi adhik priy haian n? isi bangal ki das lakh nar-nari prati varsh maleriya se mar jate haian. ek yuddhapot ka mooly kitana hota hai-janati ho? unamean se keval ek ke hi kharch se kam-se-kam das lakh mataoan ke aansoo poanchhe ja sakate haian. kabhi tumane is bat par bhi vichar kiya hai? shilp gaya, vyapar gaya, dharm gaya, jnan gaya-nadiyoan ki chhati sookhakar marusthal banati ja rahi hai. kisan ko bhar pet khane ko ann nahian milata. shilpakar videshiyoan ke dvar par mazadoori karata hai. desh mean jal nahian, ann nahian. grihasth ki sarvottam sampada godhan bhi nahian. doodh ke abhav mean unake bachchoan ko marate dekha hai bharati?
bharati ne chikhakar unhean rokana chaha, lekin usake gale se ek asphut shabd ke atirikt aur kuchh nahian nikala.
savyasachi ka vah dhima sanyat kanth svar pahale hi kabhi aantarhit ho chuka tha. bola, tum eesaee ho. tumhean yad hai, ek din kautoohal vash tumane yoorop ki eesaee sabhyata ka svaroop janana chaha tha. us din vyatha pahuanchane ke bhay se maianne nahian bataya tha. lekin aj batata hooan. tum logoan ki pustak mean kya hai, maian nahian janata. suna hai, achchhi batean bahut haian. lekin bahut dinoan tak ek sath rahane se unaka vastavik svaroop mujhase chhipa nahian hai. lajjahin, nagn svarth aur pashavik shakti ki pradhanata hi usaka moolamantr hai. sabhyata ke nam par durbaloan aur asamarthoan ke virudhd manushy ki budhdi ne isase pahale itane bhayankar aur ghatak moosal ka avishkar nahian kiya tha. prithvi ke manachitr ki or aankh uthakar dekho, yoorop ki vishv-grasi bhookh se koee bhi durbal jati apani raksha nahian kar pati. desh ki mitti, desh ki sampada se desh ki santan kis aparadh se vanchit huee? tum janati ho bharati, ek matr shakti-hinata ke aparadh se. phir bhi nyay dharm hi sabase b da dharm hai aur vijit jati ke ashesh kalyan ke lie hi adhinata ki janjir usake pairoan mean dalakar us pangu ka har prakar ka uttaradayitv dhote rahana hi yoropiyan sabhyata ka param karttavy hai. is param asaty ka lekhoan, bhashanoan, mishanariyoan ke dharm-prachar mean, l dakoan ki pathay-pustakoan ke dvara prachar karana hi tum logoan ki apani sabhyata ki rajaniti hai.
bharati mishanariyoan ke bich hi itani b di huee hai. anek mahanh charitr usane vastav mean apani aankhoan se dekhe haian. vishesh roop se apane dharmik vishvas par is prakar se akaran akraman se vyathit hokar boli, bhaiya, jis dharm ka prachar karane ke lie jo log is desh mean ae haian, un logoan ke sanbandh mean maian tumase bahut adhik janati hooan. un logoan ke prati aj tum nirapeksh bhav se vichar nahian kar pa rahe ho. yoropiyan sabhyata ne kya tum logoan ki bhalaee nahian ki? sati-dah ki pratha, ganga sagar mean santan visarjan.....
d aauktar bich mean hi rokakar bol uthe, ch dak pooja ke samay pith chhedana, sannyasiyoan ki talavar par uchhal-kood machana, dakaiti, thagi, vidrohiyoan ka upadrav, go da aur khasiyoan ki ashadh mean narabali aur bhi bahut se kam haian jinaki yad nahian a rahi bharati.
bharati ne ek shabd bhi nahian kaha.
d aauktar bole, thaharo, aur bhi do batean yad a geean. badashahoan ke jamane mean grihasth log bahoo-betiyoan aur dasiyoan ko apane gharoan mean nahian rakh sakate the. navab log striyoan ke pet chirakar bachchoan ko dekha karate the. hay re hay, isi tarah videshiyoan ke likhe itihas ne sadharan aur tuchchh batoan ko vipul aur virat banakar desh ke prati deshavasiyoan ke man ko vimukh kar diya. mujhe yad hai, apane bachapan mean skool ki pathay-pustak mean maianne padha tha-vilayat mean baithakar keval ham logoan ke kalyan ki chianta mean lage rahakar rajy mantri ki aankhoan ki niand aur muanh ka ann niras ho gaya hai. yah asaty l dakoan ko ratana p data hai aur pet ke lie shikshakoan ko jabani yad karana p data hai aur sabhy rajatantr ki yahi rajaniti hai bharati. aj apoorv ko dosh dena vyarth hai.
apoorv ki laanchhana se bharati man-hi-man lajjit hi nahian huee, krudhd bhi ho uthi. usane kaha, tumane jo kuchh kaha hai saty ho sakata hai. sambhav hai kisi atyant rajabhakt karmachari ne aisa hi kiya ho. lekin itane b de samrajy ki mool niti kabhi asaty nahian ho sakati. usake oopar nianv rakhakar itani b di vishal sanstha ek din bhi tiki nahian rah sakati. tum kahoge ki anant kal ki tulana mean vah din kitane hote haian? aise hi samrajy to isase pahale bhi the. kya vah chirasthayi hue? tumhara kahana agar saty bhi ho, to vah bhi chirasthayi nahian hoga. lekin yah shrriankhalabadhd, suniyantrit rajy hai. tum chahe kitani nianda kyoan n karo, isaki ekata, isaki shaanti se kya koee shubh labh hua hi nahian? pashchimi sabhyata ke prati kritajn hone ka kya koee bhi karan tumhean nahian mila? apani svadhinata to tum log bahut dinoan se kho chuke ho aur is bich raj-shakti ka parivartan to avashy hi hua hai. lekin tumhare bhagy ka parivartan nahian hua. eesaee hone ke karan mujhe galat mat samajh lena bhaiya. apane sabhi aparadh videshiyoan ke matthe madhakar glani mean doobe rahana hi agar tumhare desh-prem ka adarsh ho to tumhare us adarsh ko maian nahian apana sakooangi. hriday mean itana vidvesh bharakar tum shayad aangrejoan ki kuchh hani kar sako, lekin usase bharatavasiyoan ka kuchh bhi kalyan nahian hoga. is saty ko nishchit roop se jan lena.
bharati ke shabdoan ke kanoan mean pahuanchate hi savyasachi chauank p de. bharati ka yah roop aparichit tha. yah bhavanaean apratyashit thian. jis dharmik vishvas aur sabhyata ke gahare prabhav ke bich palakar vah b di huee hai usi ke oopar aghat hone se uttejit aur asahishnu hokar jo yah nirbhik prativad kar baithi vah bhale hi kitana hi kathor aur pratikool kyoan n ho-savyasachi ki drishti mean usane mano use nee maryada de dali.
use niruttar dekhakar bharati boli, tumane koee uttar nahian diya bhaiya? hiansa ki itani b di ag ko apane hriday mean jalakar tum aur chahe jo kuchh bhi karo, desh ki bhalaee nahian kar sakoge.
d aauktar bole, tumase to maianne anek bar kaha hai ki jo log desh ki bhalaee karane vale haian, ve chanda ikattha karake anath ashram, brahmacharyashram, vedaant ashram, daridr bhandar adi tarah-tarah ke lok hitakari kary kar rahe haian. mahanh purush haian ve. maian unaki bhakti karata hooan. lekin maianne desh ki bhalaee karane ka bhar nahian liya hai, maianne use svatantr karane ka bhar liya hai. mere hriday ki ag keval do batoan se bujh sakati hai. ek to apani chita bhasm se, ya phir jis din yah sun looanga ki yoorop ka dharm, usaki sabhyata, niti, sagar ke atal garbh mean doob gee hai.
bharati stabdh rah gee.
vah kahane lage, is vishakuand ka bharapoor sauda lekar yoorop jab samudr par karake pahale pahal vyapar karane aya tha tab use keval japan pahachan saka tha. isi se aj usaka itana saubhagy hai. isi se aj vah yoorop ke samakaksh sabhraant mitr bana hua hai. lekin chin aur bharat use nahian pahachan sake. un dinoan spen ka rajy sari prithvi par phaila hua tha. ek chhote se japani ne spen ke ek navik se poochha, tum logoan ko itana adhik rajy kaise mila? navik ne uttar diya, b di asani se. ham jis desh ko h dapana chahate haian vahaan ham pahale bechane ke lie mal le jate haian. hath-pair jo dakar us desh ke raja se maang lete haian tho di-si zamin. usake bad le ate haian padari. vah log jitane logoan ko eesaee nahian bana pate usase kahian adhik us desh ke prachalit dharm ko gali-galauj dete haian. tab log big dakar pagal ho jate haian aur do-ek ko mar dalate haian. tab ham manga lete haian apani top-bandookean aur sena. aur tatkal yah pramanit kar dete haian ki hamare sabhy desh ke manav-sanharakari yantr asabhy desh ki apeksha kitane shreshth haian.-yah kahakar unhean vida karake japan ne apane desh mean qanoon jari kar diya ki jab tak soory aur chandrama udit raheange tab tak eesaee unake desh mean qadam nahian rakhane paeange. rakheange to unhean pran-dand diya jaega.
apane dharm aur dharm-pracharakoan ke prati kie ge in tikhe akshep se du:khi hokar bharati boli, yah bat maian pahale bhi sun chuki hooan. lekin jin japaniyoan ke prati tum bhakti rakhate ho vah kaise haian?
d aauktar bole, yah jhooth hai ki bhakti rakhata hooan. maian unase ghrina karata hooan. koriyavasiyoan ko bar-bar bandhak aur abhay dekar bhi bina dosh ke jhoothe bahane gadhakar unake raja ko kaid karake sanh 1910 mean jab japan ne koriya rajy h dap liya, maian shanghaee mean tha. us din ke vah sab amanushik atyachar bhool jane ke yogy nahian haian. abhay kya keval japan ne hi diya tha bharati? yoorop ne bhi diya tha. lekin shaktishali japan ke virudhd aangrejoan ne bhi muanh nahian khola. usane kaha, ham log eanglo-japani sandhi sootr mean bandhe hue haian aur yahi bat sanyukt rashtr amerika ke rashtrapati ne bhi atyant spasht shabdoan mean kah di ki vachan dene se kya hua? jo asamarth aur shaktihin rashtr apani raksha nahian kar sakata to usaka rajy nahian jaega to kisaka jaega. thik hi hua. ab ham log jaeange unaka udhdar karane? asambhav hai pagalapan hai. yah kahakar savyasachi ne ek pal chup rahakar kaha- maian bhi kahata hooan bharati ki yah asambhav hai, asangat hai, pagalapan hai. durbal ka dhan shaktishali kyoan nahian chhin lega? is bat ko sabhy yoorop ki naitik budhdi soch bhi nahian sakati.
bharati avakh hi rahi.
vah kahane lage, atharahavian shatabdi ke aantim bhag mean briten ka doot lard maikartani gaya chini darabar mean-vyapar ki tho di-si suvidha prapt karane ke lie. manchoo naresh shinaluang un dinoan samast chin ke samrat the. vah atyant dayalu the. doot ki vinit prarthana se prasann hokar unhoanne ashirvad dete hue kaha, dekho bhaiya, hamare svarg jaise samrajy mean kisi bhi vastu ka abhav nahian hai, lekin tum ae ho bahut door se, anek kasht sahakar. jao, keantan shahar mean jakar vyapar karo. sthan deta hooan. tum sab logoan ka bhala hoga. raja ka yah ashirvad nishphal nahian hua pachas varsh bhi nahian bitane pae ki chin ke sath aangrejoan ka pratham yuddh chhi d gaya.
bharati ne ashchary mean p dakar poochha, kyoan bhaiya?
d aauktar bole, yah chin ka anyay tha-samrat sahasa bol utha, aphim khate-khate hamari aankhean band hoti ja rahi haian. budhdi-shudhdi ab nahian rahi, kripa karake is chiz ka ayat rok do.
isake bad?
isake bad ka itihas bahut hi sankshipt-sa hai. do hi varsh ke aandar aphim khane ko raji hokar aur bhi paanch bandaragahoan mean keval paanch rupe pratishat taiks par vyapar karane ki svikriti dekar aur aant mean haangakaang bandaragah dakshin mean dekar sanh 42 mean yah yuddh samapt hua. thik hi hua. itani sasti aphim pa kar jo moorkh khane mean apatti karata hai usaka aisa prayashchit uchit hi to tha.
bharati boli, yah tumhari managadhant kahani hai.
d aauktar bole, hone do. kahani sunane mean hai to achchhi. aur yahi dekhakar phraansisi sabhyata ne kaha tha-mere pas aphim to nahian lekin insanoan ki hatya karane ke lie achchhe-se-achchhe yantr avashy haian. isalie yuddh hua. phraansisiyoan ne chin samrajy ka anam praant chhin liya aur yuddh ka kharch adhik-se-adhik vyaparik suvidhaean, triti-port adi- ye sab tuchchh kahaniyaan haian. inhean rahane do.
bharati boli, lekin bhaiya, tali ek hi hath se bajati hai? chin ka kya kuchh bhi anyay nahian hai?
d aauktar bole, ho sakata hai. lekin tamasha to yah hai ki yoropiyan sabhyata ka anyay-bodh doosaroan ke gharoan par chadhaee karane ke lie hi hota hai. unake apane desh mean aisi ghatana dikhaee nahian p dati.
usake bad?
bata raha hooan. jarman sabhyata ne dekha-vah re vah!-yah to b di majedar bat hai. ham to ghate mean hi rah ge....aur usane bhi ek jahaz mean padari bharakar unake bich laga diya. sanh 1697 mean jab ve log prabhu eesa ki mahima, shaanti aur nyay-dharm ka prachar kar rahe the tab chiniyoan ka ek dal pagal ho utha aur usane do param dharmik pracharakoan ke sir kat dale....anyay....chin ka hi anyay tha. isalie shanatuang praant jarmani ke pet mean chala gaya. usake bad keantan mean vidroh hua. yoorop ki sabhi sabhyataoan ne ek hokar usaka jo badala liya shayad kahian bhi usaki tulana nahian mil sakati. us harjane ka aparimit rrin chini log kitane dinoan tak chukate raheange yah bat eesa prabhu hi janate haian. is bich british sianh, jar ke bhaloo, japan ke soory dev-lekin ab nahian bahin, mera gala sookhata ja raha hai. du:kh ki tulana mean akele ham logoan ke siva shayad un logoan ka aur koee sathi nahian hai samrat shinatuang nirvan ko prapt ho, unake ashirvad ki b di mahima hai.
bharati ek bahut lambi saans khianchakar chup ho rahi.
bharati.
kya hai bhaiya?
chup kyoan ho?
tumhari kahani ki hi bat soch rahi hooan. achchha bhaiya, isilie kya chin mean tumane apana kary-kshetr chuna hai? jo log saik doan atyacharoan se jarjarit haian unako uttejit kar dena kathin nahian hai. lekin ek bat aur hai. is par kya tumane vichar kiya hai? un sab nirih ajnani kisan-mazadooroan ka du:kh to yoan hi yathesht hai. us par phir mar-kat, khoon-kharabi, shuroo kar dene se to unake du:khoan ki sima nahian rahegi.
d aauktar bole, nirih kisan-mazadooroan ke lie dushchinta mean p dane ki tumhean zaroorat nahian hai bharati. kisi bhi desh mean vah svadhinata ke kam mean bhag nahian lete, balki badha hi dalate haian. un logoan ko uttejit karane ke lie, vyarth parishram karane ka samay mere pas nahian hai. mera karobar shikshit, madhyavitt aur bhadr logoan ko lekar hi chalata hai. yadi kisi din mere kam mean shamil hona chaho bharati to is bat ko mat bhoolana. aidiyal ya adarsh ke lie pran de sakane yogy manobal ki asha, shaanti priy, nirvirodh, nirih kisanoan se karana bekar hai. vah svatantrata nahian chahate, shaanti chahate haian. jo shaanti asamarth-ashakt logoan ki hai.....
bharati vyakul hokar boli, maian bhi yahi chahati hooan bhaiya. balki tum mujhe isi j data ke kam mean niyukt kar do. tumhare 'path ke davedar' ke sidhdaant se meri saans rukati chali ja rahi hai.
savyasachi ne hansakar kaha, achchha.
bharati ruk n saki. usi tarah vyagr uchchhvas se boli, achchha shabd ka uchcharan kar dene ke atirikt kya kuchh bhi kahane ko shabd tumhare pas nahian haian bhaiya?
ham log a pahuanche haian bharati. savadhani se baith jao. chot n lag jae. yah kahakar d aauktar ne tezise dhakka lagakar chhoti-si nav ko aandhere mean nadi ke kinare laga diya. bharati ko utarate hue unhoanne kaha, pani ya kich d nahian hai bahin, takhta bichha hai, usi par se chali ao.
aandhere mean niche pair rakhakar tripti ki saans lete hue bharati boli, bhaiya, tumhare hathoan se atm-samarpan karane ke saman nirvighn shaanti aur kahian nahian hai.
lekin doosari or se koee uttar nahian aya. aandhere mean donoan ke kuchh door age badhane par d aauktar ne ashchary bhare svar mean kaha, lekin bat kya hai? batao to? yah kya vivahotsav ka makan hai, n to battiyoan ki roshani hai, n koee halla-gulla hi hai. behale ka sur bhi nahian. kahian chale ge haian kya yah log?
donoan sidhi se chadhakar chupachap jyoan hi oopar pahuanche, khule dvar dikhaee diya shashi-jo bade dhyan se akhabar padh raha tha.
