अकाल-उत्सव

 


दरारों वाली सपाट सूखी भूमि नपुंसक पति की संतानेच्छु पत्नी की तरह बेकल नंगी पड़ी है। अकाल पड़ा है। पास ही एक गाय अकाल के समाचार वाले अखबार को खाकर पेट भर रही है। कोई 'सर्वे वाला' अफसर छोड़ गया होगा। आदमी इस मामले में गाय-बैल से भी गया बीता है। गाय तो इस अखबार को भी खा लेती है, मगर आदमी उस अखबार को भी नहीं खा सकता जिसमें छपा है कि अमेरिका से अनाज के जहाज चल चुके हैं। एक बार मैं खा गया था। एक कॉलम का 6 पंक्तियों का समाचार था। मैंने उसे काटा और पानी के साथ निगल गया। दिन भर भूख नहीं लगी। आजकल अखबारों में आधे पन्नों पर सिर्फ अकाल और भुखमरी के समाचार छपते हैं। अगर अकाल ग्रस्त आदमी सड़क पर पड़ा अखबार उठाकर उतने पन्ने खा ले, तो महीने भर भूख नहीं लगे। पर इस देश का आदमी मूर्ख है। अन्न खाना चाहता है। भुखमरी के समाचार नहीं खाना चाहता।

Was Dr. K.B. Hedgewar was Freedom Fighter?

  Dr. Hedgewar was a freedom fighter and pre-RSS Congressman who was arrested and sentenced for a year’s imprisonment for his role in the Khilafat movement (1919-1924) and that was his last participation in the freedom struggle. Soon after his release, Hedgewar, inspired by Savarkar’s idea of Hindutva, founded the RSS in September 1925 and this organisation remained subservient to the colonising power and opposed the mass movements for India’s freedom in every phase of the struggle.   According to Hedgewar’s biography published by the RSS, when Gandhi launched the Salt Satyagraha in 1930, he “sent information everywhere that the Sangh will participated in this movement. However those wishing to participate individually in it were not prohibited. This meant that any responsible worker of the Sangh could not participate in the Satyagraha”.
