गोदान किसान और किसानी का, मजदूर और मजदूरी का।









गोदान किसान और किसानी का, मजदूर और मजदूरी का

गोदान इस देश में इस दौर का नया पहचान बन रहा है।

बुधिया की खेती खराब हो गई है।

उसका लड़का गोबर शहर की फैक्ट्री में मजदूर बन गया है।

ये एक जमीन मालिक से दिहाड़ी मजदूर बनने की कहानी है।

खेती-बाड़ी में दाम सरकार तय कर रही!

जबकि फैक्ट्री में बने सामानों की कीमत फैक्ट्री मालिक तय कर रहे, जिससे खेती करना नुकसान का काम हो गया है।

मजदूर की मजदूरी खेती से हो रही कमाई से ज्यादा हो गई है।

ये पूंजीवाद जाने क्या क्या ना कर दे।
उधर शहर में फैक्ट्रियां भी सरकारी नीतियों के कारण बंद हो रही।

गोबर जो गांव छोड़कर शहर गया था अब उजड़े गांव में आता है और दिशाहीन स्थिति में है।

बुधिया कहता है कहां जायें, राम जी भी बुधिया के साथ नहीं हैं।

यही है किसान और किसानी की कहानी।

दिहाड़ी मजदूर बनने की कहानी
दोस्तों अगर कल और आज को एक साथ देखना चाहते हैं तो लगभग सौ साल पहले प्रेमचंद की कालजई रचना गोदान पढ़ें।

कुछ भी फर्क नहीं दिखाई देता आज के किसान, मजदूर के हालात उस अंग्रेजी दौर के हालात से।

बस देश आजाद है, शासक हमारे हैं

लेकिन अधिकतर नियम 1856 एवं 1858 के ही हैं, चाहे वो सीआरपीसी हो या आईपीसी।

कालजयी रचना किसी एक कालखंड की नहीं होतीं।

Last Part. Rahul Sankrityayan an Indologist, a Marxist theoretician, and a creative writer.

                                               Book by Rahul









Rahul Sankrityayan did many more stunning achievements in the fields of exploration, literature and learning. 

We are grateful to Rahul Sankrityayan.

But unfortunately many are bundled in the back room of Old Museum, Patna in Bihar, which was gifted by him to Bihar Government. 
Little work was done to preserve them and to know what is written in it. 
Most of these were a part of the libraries of Ancient Vikaramshila and Nalanda (Visvadalaya) Universities.
These objects had been taken to Tibet by fleeing Buddhist Monks during the twelfth (12th) and subsequent centuries when the invading Bakhityar Khilji’s Muslim invading army had destroyed universities in India.
Nalanda was burnt and Udvantnagar and Vikaramshila Universities were destroyed.
Some accounts state that Rahul Sankrityayan employed twenty-two mules to bring these materials from Tibet to India
Patna Museum, Patna, Bihar has a special section of these materials in his honour, where a number of these and other items have been displayed. 
Many of Rahul's personal collections including the ones he gathered from his multiple trips to Tibet were distributed across to multiple Universities and Museums. 

Patna Museum has an extensive collection of Buddhist scrolls which he assimilated through his journeys across Tibet. 

Many of these are considered rare gems of Indian scriptures translated into Tibetan.

Although he had little formal education, in view of his knowledge and command over the subject, University of Leningrad appointed him Professor of Indology in 1937–38 and again in 1947–48.

Sankrityayan was both a polymath as well as a polyglot.   

 He wrote 140 books of high scholarly value. He wrote in five languages – Hindi, Sanskrit, Bhojpuri, Pāli and Tibetan. 
He learned how to read, write and speak in nearly 30 languages. He was well versed in several languages and dialects including Hindi, Sanskrit, Pali, Bhojpuri, Magahi, Urdu, Persian, Arabic, Tamil, Kannada, Tibetan, Sinhalee, French and Russian.
He was also an Indologist, a Marxist  theoretician, and a creative writer.
He started writing during his twenties and his works covered a variety of subjects, including Autobiography, Biography, sociology, History, Philosophy, Buddhism, Tibetology, Lexicography, Grammar, Textual editing, Folklore, Fiction, Essays, Pamphleteering, Science, Drama and Politics.

Many of these were unpublished.  

He translated Bodh Dhamma book Majjhim Nikaya from Prakrit to Hindi

He is referred to as the 'Greatest Scholar' (Mahapandit) for his scholarship.

The Government of India awarded him the civilian honour of the Padma Bhushan  in 1963.

The historian Kashi Prasad Jayaswal compared Rahul Sankrityayan with Buddha.

Rahul's personality was as impressive and memorable as are his achievements.  

Personal Life marriage and Family:-

Rahul was married when he was very young and never came to know anything of his child-wife, Santoshi. Probably he saw her only once in his 40s as per his autobiography: Meri Jivan Yatra.

During his stay in Soviet Russia a second time, accepting an invitation for teaching Buddhism at Leningrad University, he came in contact with a Mongolian scholar Lola (Ellena Narvertovna Kozerovskaya). 

She could speak French, English, and Russian and write Sanskrit. She helped him in working on Tibetan- Sanskrit dictionary. 

Their attachment ended in marriage and birth of son Igor.

Mother and son were not allowed to accompany Rahul to India after completion of his assignment due to restrictions imposed by Stalin regime.

Late in life, he married Dr. Kamala, an Indian Nepali lady and had a daughter (Jaya), two sons Jeta and Jayant.

Rahul accepted a teaching job at a Sri Lankan University, where he fell seriously ill. Diabetes, high blood pressure and a mild stroke struck him. 

Most tragic happening was the loss of memory. He breathed his last in Darjeeling in 1963.

His last residence at Darjeeling was at 21 Kacheri Road: Rahul Nivas.

Rahul Sankrityayan was a rare genius who did not let his lack of formal education come in his way to reach greater heights. 

He gained knowledge through self-study and extensive travelling. 

He learnt to speak and write in several languages. 

His life’s credo is reflected in one of his inspirational quote,

“Oh! Ignorant, go and travel all over the world. You will not get this life again. Even if you live long, youth will never return.”

Rahul's Tomb stone is situated at Darjeeling. This tombstone is established at a place called "Murda Haati" which is a cremation ground downtown in the lower altitudes of Darjeeling around 25 minutes drive from the Chow Rasta.

The same place also has the tombstone of Sister Nivedita or Bhagini Nivedita of Vivekananda fame.
