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।

In one message, Epstein followed up with the phrase "modi on board," suggesting he believed Modi was amenable, though no records confirm any meeting occurred or that Modi was directly involv...

Why Modi woried on Rahul Gandhi Foriegn Trip?

Why Modi woried on Rahul Gandhi Foriegn Trip? Modi woried to increasing Ruhul Image on International Panorama and making unessary remarks to tarnish his image.  BJP portrays these tours as "anti-India exercises" rather than legitimate diplomatic or personal visits, demanding explanations from Congress about Gandhi's itinerary and meetings. This fits into a recurring narrative; similar allegations were made about his previous foreign visits, including links to Soros-funded entities involved in "anti-India" activities. In response, Congress leaders like Imran Pratapgarhi have countered that the BJP is obsessing over Gandhi's travels to distract from domestic issues, such as airline disruptions or economic challenges. Overall, the BJP's stance seems driven by political rivalry, aiming to portray Gandhi's actions as unpatriotic to rally domestic support. This is based on public statements and media coverage from the period around his December 2025 German...
