देश की सुरक्षा संस्कृति करती है और संस्कृति की सुरक्षा साहित्य करता है

Image
  किसी भी देश पर अपना नियंत्रण या तो उससे युद्ध करके किया जा सकता है या वहां की जनता के मन मस्तिष्क को अपनी विचार धारा से प्रभावित करके किया जा सकता है । ग्यारह सौ वर्षों में विदेशियों ने हिन्दुस्तान में दोनों काम किये । परिणाम यह हुआ कि हिन्दुस्तान न केवल तीन भागों में बंटा बल्कि आज इस बचे हुए देश को भी एक सूत्र में लाना कठिन हो गया है । विदेशी विचार धारा के प्रभाव में हमारी संस्कृति नष्ट हुयी है और दूसरी संस्कृति व्यापक स्तर पर फ़ैल गई है । यही वजह है कि एक बड़ी सख्या में लोग देश के प्रति निष्ठावान नहीं हैं और गाँधी परिवार की राजनीति अभी भी देश में जीवित है । संस्कृति की सुरक्षा साहित्य करता है । यदि रामचरित मानस व् भागवत कथा न होते तो आज बची हुयी भारतीय संस्कृति भी समाप्त हो गयी होती । साधु-संतों व् साहित्यकारों का दायित्व होता है कि वे देश के मौलिक विचार धारा की रक्षा करते रहें तभी देश की सत्ता पर देशी राष्ट्रवादी लोग ठहर सकते हैं नहीं तो वही होगा जैसे देश स्वतंत्र होने के बाद भी बुद्धिजीवियों के लिए अपने धर्म व् संस्कृति के विषय में बोलना मुश्किल था । बुद्धिजीवी व् वयस्क की विचा...

The Storyteller Who can Hold you SpellboundUnfolds his Tales

Image
Get to be blissfully happy And keep your mind healthy, Read a good book everyday And keep your phone away. William Shakespeare was a great story teller because his stories, consisting of real incidents of life rather than imaginary notwithstanding, are very, very interesting and also because his plays are not mere stories of kings and queens but the pictures of varying human minds. They put true examples of how a particular type of person will respond in a particular situation. Now that they warn us of the consequences of various character flaws, they show us the successful ways of life. Now to talk of Leo Tolstoy, who owed his genius to his experiences, his greatness as a story teller cannot be overlooked. He was a moralist but not impractical. In fact, no one else could ever go as deep into human life studying the darkest corners of it as he did. He puts both moral and immoral ways of life with their effects on the society side by side and leaves for the readers to see which to cho...

जीवन जिसमें आहें न हों

  जीवन जिसमें आहें न हों, जीवन जिसकी राहें न हो, जीवन वह जो तपा नहीं है, जिसमें आँसू बहा नहीं है, वह जीवन जो जिया गया हो, जिसमें वैभव भरा रहा हो, दिल टुकड़ों में टूटा न हो, किसी चाह में चीखा न हो, कंठ प्यास से सूखे न हों, जिसमें सपने मीठे न हों, ऐसा जीवन मरा हुआ है, उत्तर-दक्षिण पड़ा हुआ है ।

President Biden's Family Ties to India

Image
  India’s relationship with US became closer when, during the bilateral discussions with PM Modi on Friday, 24 September 2021, President Biden conjured up a memory of his relatives living in Bombay. He said that once when he was first elected to the United States’ Senate, he got a letter from a man in Mumbai whose last name was also Biden. Later, on his visit to India as the Vice president Indian press confirmed that a few Bidens lived in the country. He accepted that he is a lineal descendant of a Captain George Biden of the East India Tea Company, who “apparently settled in India in colonial times and married an Indian woman” but he'd never had a chance to follow up. “You’re here in Washington to help me find more about my relatives in India,” Joked the President, pointing to PM Modi. “Yes, I have documentary evidence to prove your Mumbai connection,” Replied PM Modi. The President rejoined, "Was I really related?" “The 46th US President do, indeed, have family connecti...
