ढीली करो धनुष की डोरी – रामधारी सिंह "दिनकर"


राष्ट्रकवि रामधारी सिंह दिनकर की यह महान रचना सोचने पर मजबूर करती है. यह रचना आजादी के सात वर्ष के बाद लिखी गयी थी. इसमें श्री दिनकर की व्यथा स्पष्ट है. इसे उन्होंने उस समय व्याप्त भ्रष्टाचार से त्रस्त होकर लिखा था. इसे पढ़ें एवं सोचें...जय हिंद.

ढीली करो धनुष की डोरी, तरकस का कस खोलो ,
 किसने कहा, युद्ध की वेला चली गयी, शांति से बोलो?
किसने कहा, और मत वेधो ह्रदय वह्रि के शर से,
भरो भुवन का अंग कुंकुम से, कुसुम से, केसर से?

कुंकुम? लेपूं किसे? सुनाऊँ किसको कोमल गान?
तड़प रहा आँखों के आगे भूखा हिन्दुस्तान ।

फूलों के रंगीन लहर पर ओ उतरनेवाले !
ओ रेशमी नगर के वासी! ओ छवि के मतवाले!
सकल देश में हालाहल है, दिल्ली में हाला है,
दिल्ली में रौशनी, शेष भारत में अंधियाला है ।

मखमल के पर्दों के बाहर, फूलों के उस पार,
ज्यों का त्यों है खड़ा, आज भी मरघट-सा संसार ।

वह संसार जहाँ तक पहुँची अब तक नहीं किरण है
जहाँ क्षितिज है शून्य, अभी तक अंबर तिमिर वरण है
देख जहाँ का दृश्य आज भी अन्त:स्थल हिलता है
माँ को लज्ज वसन और शिशु को न क्षीर मिलता है

पूज रहा है जहाँ चकित हो जन-जन देख अकाज
सात(साठ) वर्ष हो गये राह में, अटका कहाँ स्वराज?

अटका कहाँ स्वराज? बोल दिल्ली! तू क्या कहती है?
तू रानी बन गयी वेदना जनता क्यों सहती है?
सबके भाग्य दबा रखे हैं किसने अपने कर में?
उतरी थी जो विभा, हुई बंदिनी बता किस घर में

समर शेष है, यह प्रकाश बंदीगृह से छूटेगा
और नहीं तो तुझ पर पापिनी! महावज्र टूटेगा

समर शेष है, उस स्वराज को सत्य बनाना होगा
जिसका है ये न्यास उसे सत्वर पहुँचाना होगा
धारा के मग में अनेक जो पर्वत खडे हुए हैं
गंगा का पथ रोक इन्द्र के गज जो अडे हुए हैं

कह दो उनसे झुके अगर तो जग मे यश पाएंगे
अड़े रहे अगर तो ऐरावत पत्तों से बह जाऐंगे

समर शेष है, जनगंगा को खुल कर लहराने दो
शिखरों को डूबने और मुकुटों को बह जाने दो
पथरीली ऊँची जमीन है? तो उसको तोडेंगे
समतल पीटे बिना समर कि भूमि नहीं छोड़ेंगे

समर शेष है, चलो ज्योतियों के बरसाते तीर
खण्ड-खण्ड हो गिरे विषमता की काली जंजीर

समर शेष है, अभी मनुज भक्षी हुंकार रहे हैं
गांधी का पी रुधिर जवाहर पर फुंकार रहे हैं
समर शेष है, अहंकार इनका हरना बाकी है
वृक को दंतहीन, अहि को निर्विष करना बाकी है

समर शेष है, शपथ धर्म की लाना है वह काल
विचरें अभय देश में गाँधी और जवाहर लाल

तिमिर पुत्र ये दस्यु कहीं कोई दुष्काण्ड रचें ना
सावधान हो खडी देश भर में गाँधी की सेना
बलि देकर भी बलि! स्नेह का यह मृदु व्रत साधो रे
मंदिर औ' मस्जिद दोनों पर एक तार बाँधो रे

समर शेष है, नहीं पाप का भागी केवल व्याध
जो तटस्थ हैं, समय लिखेगा उनके भी अपराध   – रामधारी सिंह "दिनकर"

धर्म/ गोपाल दास नीरज

जिन मुश्किलों में मुस्कुराना हो मना,
उन मुश्किलों में मुस्कुराना धर्म है..

जिस वक़्त जीना गैर मुमकिन सा लगे,
उस वक़्त जीना फर्ज है इंसान का,
लाजिम लहर के साथ है तब खेलना,
जब हो समुन्द्र पे नशा तूफ़ान का
जिस वायु का दीपक बुझना ध्येय हो
उस वायु में दीपक जलाना धर्म है.

हो नहीं मंजिल कहीं जिस राह की
उस राह चलना चाहिए इंसान को
जिस दर्द से सारी उम्र रोते कटे
वह दर्द पाना है जरूरी प्यार को
जिस चाह का हस्ती मिटाना नाम है
उस चाह पर हस्ती मिटाना धर्म है.

आदत पड़ी हो भूल जाने की जिसे
हर दम उसी का नाम हो हर सांस पर
उसकी खबर में ही सफ़र सारा कटे
जो हर नजर से हर तरह हो बेखबर
जिस आँख का आखें चुराना काम हो
उस आँख से आखें मिलाना धर्म है...

जब हाथ से टूटे न अपनी हथकड़ी
तब मांग लो ताकत स्वयम जंजीर से
जिस दम न थमती हो नयन सावन झड़ी 
उस दम हंसी ले लो किसी तस्वीर से
जब गीत गाना गुनगुनाना जुर्म हो
तब गीत गाना गुनगुनाना धर्म है.

Sanjiv Bhatt-A controversial life

Sanjiv Bhatt has been in controversy recently due to good or bad reasons for filing an affidavit against Narender Modi, Chief Minister of Gujarat. I am presenting herein below a brief of his controversial career as IPS officer.

Name: Sanjeev Bhatt
Post: IPS, 1988 Gujarat Cadre

Right from starting, his career has been controversial in Gujarat. Earlier, he was posted in as ASP Jamnagar district when there was an agitation at Khamabliya. It was reported that he committed excessive use of power and clamping of draconian provisions of TADA on some of the protestors. Police (ASP) in Jamnagar district was marked with an incident of misuse of power resulting to death of a person. There was a private criminal complaint filed at Jamjodhpur Police station against him on 18-11-1990 by one Shri Amrutlal Madhavji Vaishnani. This case is still pending at Sessions Court at Kahambalia.
A criminal complaint was filed in 1996 by one Shri Sumer Singh Rajpurohit, an Advocate practicing at Pali, Rajasthan against Shri Sanjiv Bhatt, the then SP, Banaskantha District. A criminal case was registered against Shri Sanjiv Bhatt & others vide FIR No. 403/96 dtd. 18-11-1996 u/s 120B, 195, 196, 342, 347, 357, 365, 388, 458, 482 IPC and Sec. 58 (1) & 58 (2) of NDPS Act. After the investigation, a chargesheet was filed against Shri Sanjiv Bhatt & others u/s 114, 120B, 323, 342, 348, 357, 365, 368, 388, 452, 201 & 482 IPC and Sec. 9, 17, 18, 29, 58 (1) & 58 (2) r/w Sec. 37 of NDPS Act in the Court of Special Judge, NDPS Act, Jodhpur, Rajasthan. It is mentioned that Shri Sumer Singh Rajput was a tenant of sister of Shri R.R. Jain, a sitting Judge of Gujarat High Court. To get the tenant evacuated for the rented premises, Shri Sanjiv Bhatt, the then SP of Banaskanthe and his subordinate police officers planted more than 1kg of Narcotic drug in one room in a hotel at Palanpur, Gujarat, which was shown that the complainant was occupying the same while the complainant was at Pali, Rajasthan. The said complainant Advocate was abducted at midnight from Pali on the instructions of Shri Sanjiv Bhatt by his subordinate police staff and brought him to Palanpur, Banaskantha in Gujarat. The said Advocate was pressurized by Shri Sanjiv Bhatt and his subordinate police officers to vacate the said rented premises by threatening arrest under offence under NDPSAct. The Advocate under pressure vacated the property. Physical possession of the property was immediately handed over to sister of Shri R.R. Jain, Judge of Gujarat High Court. Shri Sanjiv Bhatt asked released Shri Sumersingh Rajpurohit on 08-05-1996, after filing a report u/s 169 Cr.P.C., in which it was stated that Shri Sumer Singh could not be identified in the Test Identification Parade.
Applications were filed for quashing the criminal complaint filed in Pali at Gujarat and Rajasthan High Court. But the petitions have been dismissed and the criminal case is still pending. Also, the Gujarat Vigilance Commission had recommended twice on 15-07-2002 and 19-10-2006for suspension of Shri Sanjiv Bhatt for his professional misconducts.His stint as Assistant Superintendent of The Secretary, Bar Association, Pali (Rajasthan) made a complaint before the National Human Rights Commission. The Commission considering the serious human right violation by its order dated 15-09-2010 directed the State Govt. of Gujarat to pay a sum of Rs. One lakh as monetary relief to Shri Sumer Singh, advocate, Pali. The Gujarat government issued order dated 23-12-2010 as per the direction of the NHRC to pay the amount. A cheque was issued on 25-01-2011 in favour of Shri S.C. Rajpurohit.
Since the criminal proceeding is pending against him and as one charge sheet has been issued to him, he has grievances against the state government. He has been trying to get these issues settled and get his overdue promotion as IGP. In 2003 he came in to headline when he was transferred from Sabarmati Jail and many prisoners tried to commit suicide.  As superintendent  of Sabarmati Jail, he came under controversy when he included Gajar ka Halwa into the menu of Jail prisoners including those who were accused of the Godhra Coach arson case. 59 people were burnt alive, which led to riots in Gujarat killing both Hindus and Muslims.. He also appointed Godhra under trials as heads of various jail committees. He was thereafter transferred. Now, he came under controversy when he filed an affidavit before Supreme Court that he was present in controversial meeting of 27.02.2002 when Modi allegedly gave instructions to Police Officers not to take action against Hindus. He failed to appear before Nanawati Commission and also said that Supreme Court appointed SIT is not working in a fair manner. 
He was recently arrested after a complaint cum FIR from a constable that he tried to pressurize him to  give false affidavit to accuse Narender Modi. All his seniors including Mr. Modi himself have denied that Bhatt was present in the meeting. There is no documentary evidence to support his claim anywhere in Gujarat. He was summoned thrice by Gujarat Police under Section 160 Cr.P.C. to depose against the complaint filed by Karansin Dhanbahadur, a police constable. He failed to appear and hence was formally arrested few days ago. 
I have copy of FIR as well, the same is rough but almost perfect sequence of events. Do we need to believe upon such persons.
