प्यारी


एक कविता उन दिनों को याद करते हुए जब हमारा देश सोने की चिड़िया कहा जाता था |

HINDI POEM ON HOW INDIA WAS ONCE RICH AND PROSPEROUS & HOW ITS PROSPERITY WAS ENSLAVED BY THE BRITISH & THEN FREED BY THE INDIANS & ITS STATE TODAY

सोने के पर जिसके ऐसा थी चिड़िया हमारी ,
कंधार से लेके कन्याकुमारी तक उड़ती थी प्यारी |

घोरी और ग़ज़नवी भी करपाए थे इसको कैद नहीं, 
उसकी सुनहरी चमक से होते थे रौशन सभी |

अंग्रेज़ो की गुलामी का भी डट कर किया सामना ,
पर लोहे के यंत्रो के सामने पड़ा इसको हारना |

गुलामी की बेड़ियाँ डाले कैद रही सालो साल ,
अन्धकार में भूखे मरे उसके लाखो लाल |

हर दिल को सन्न कर जाती थी प्यारी की ये पीड़ा 
भगत, चंद्रशेखर और गाँधी ने उठाया आज़ादी का बीड़ा |

इनकी एक पुकार पे लड़ पड़ा हर एक देशवासी ,
आज़ादी का स्वाद चखने निकल पड़ा हर सन्यासी |

तानाशाहों की कैद से प्यारी को था छुड़ाना ,
आज़ादी की हवा में था उसको उड़ाना |

लड़ गया हर लाल जब प्यारी को आज़ाद होना ही था ,
पर नासूर मिलेगा प्यारी को ऐसा किसी ने सोचा ना था |

ताकत के कुछ परवानो ने देश को ही तोड़ दिया ,
बटवारे की आग ने प्यारी को और भी झिझोर दिया |

सालो साल थी कैद जो झट पट उड़ती वो कैसे ,
खो चुकी सुनहरी चमक जो वापस पाती वो कैसे |

चमक उसकी कम पड़ी, आँखों में हमारे फिर भी नमी न थी ,
रौनक उसकी लूटने वालो की अपनो में भी कमी न थी |

साल बीते देसी नेता आए अनेक ,
प्यारी के इलाज को लेप वो लाए अनेक |

लेप थे बर्बाद सारे प्यारी पे असर एक ना डाले ,
पर लेप बनाने की मशक्कत में भर गए सबके काले पिटारे |

गैरो ने लूटा बहुत अपनो ने भी बक्शा नही ,
इस दरिंदगी के गुनहगार है सारे सभी |

ये सिलसिला यू ही कायम है, प्यारी अब भी घायल है ,
उसके नन्हे पैरो में पड़ी अब भी बेड़ियों की पायल है |

ELEMENT OF PATRIARCHY IN ‘THE MURDER OF ROGER ACKROYD’

INTRODUCTION: Published in June 1926, The Murder of Roger Ackroyd is often regarded as the ‘Queen of Mystery’ novels. In fact, in the year 2013 i.e. after 87 years of its publication, the novel was voted by the British Crime Writer’s association as the best crime novel ever. Since the award come decades after Christie’s demise, it proved instrumental in re-stimulating a worldwide need for fictions and writers as great as ‘The Murder of Roger Ackroyd’ and ‘Agatha Christie’ respectively. Born in the era of world wars, cold war and also one where in women were highly disregarded and their creations underrated, Christie managed to defy the odds and even in the 19 th and 20 th century when the world and even the British society was in transition, she managed to leave her mark and she must have been an inspiration to numerous other people, especially women, who would have been struggling in their lives amidst global instability. Even today when women subjugation is equally prevalen

BRICS & CLIMATE CHANGE

Image
Many consider BRICS as an association of potential superpowers. I however, see it not only as an association of developing economies but also a major player in combating the menace of rapidly deteriorating climate which poses a threat to the entire human race. Countless scholars have already expressed their concerns over the impact of deteriorating climate on International relations and have been demanding the governments of various states to act in the same direction. It is a well-known fact that despite numerous summits on climate change over the last few decades, nothing major has been achieved as yet. The entire plot of the story of ‘Combined action to fight Climate Change’ is very much similar to that of ‘Fighting Proliferation’ in a manner that both of these are stories of global failure. The list of reasons that have led to inaction despite ample of action is a long one. In fact, the list is so diverse and elongated that it is next to impossible to eliminate or to neutralize

World Consumer Rights Day: A Valid Marxist Interpretation

Image
March 15 is annually celebrated as the World Consumer Rights day (WCRD). It is one and the only day in the calendar when the world (governing) community tries to show to the proletariats around the globe that despite their inherent and never ending romance with the capitalist, they are always dedicated to creating a better, transparent and accountable world for the proletariats, who in the end would constitute the labour force, the market and the consumers for the capitalists.  Thus the precedence is given to citizens over capitalists only to serve the interests of the capitalists. I see WCRD as a tool in the hands of the governments to promote the interests of the capitalists by annually reminding people (Proletariats) of their rights as consumers and thereby covertly pushing them to become consumers and to mint monetary profits for the capitalists. I know my interpretation of WCRD sounds Marxist but that is how it really is. In fact, in my opinion, ‘Rights’ is a suffix or p
