राष्ट्रपुरुष श्रीकृष्ण के अवतरण की प्रासंगिकता और हमारा भारत

=============================

पूर्णावतार श्रीकृष्ण :  हमारी भारतीय आर्ष परंपरा में श्रीकृष्ण संपूर्णता के पर्याय हैं। यही कारण है कि उन्हें पूर्णावतार कहा जाता है।हमारे मनीषियों ने उन्हें परात्पर परब्रह्म की संज्ञा से अभिहित किया है।हमारे गौरवग्रंथों में श्रीकृष्ण के व्यक्तित्व की भव्यता ,कर्तृत्व की दिव्यता और वक्तृत्व की महत्तम विलक्षणता के दर्शन होते हैं।सच्चिदानंद स्वरूप में एक ऐसा लीलापुरुषोत्तम जिसने हताश, निराश और उदास लोकजीवन को हास,विलास और उल्लास के आनंदोदधि में अवगाहन कराकर आह्लादित कर दिया।मानो थका-हारा सामाजिक जीवन श्रीकृष्ण को पाकर आनंदित हो उठा।यही कारण है कि आज के महान चिंतक,विचारक, दार्शनिक सभी एक स्वर से कहते हैं कि मात्र भारतवर्ष के लिए नहीं, संपूर्ण वैश्विक मानवता के सर्वविध कल्याण के लिए एकमात्र श्रीकृष्ण ही प्रासंगिक हैं और भविष्य में भी इसकी प्रासंगिक दृढ़ता बनी रहेगी।

श्रीराम मर्यादापुरुषोत्तम और श्रीकृष्ण लीलापुरुषोत्तम : हमारी भारतीय आर्ष परंपरा ने श्रीराम को मर्यादापुरुषोत्तम और श्रीकृष्ण को लीलापुरुषोत्तम कहा है।इस शाश्वत परंपरा में दोनों की महनीय भूमिका है।एक विद्वान् ने बड़ी ही सार्थक टिप्पणी की है- श्रीराम में मर्यादा का सौंदर्य है और श्रीकृष्ण में सौंदर्य की मर्यादा है। दोनों की अप्रतिम दिव्यता ने भारत के सामाजिक, सांस्कृतिक, धार्मिक और सबसे बढ़कर राष्ट्रीय धरातल पर युगों से व्याप्त गहन अंधकार को उन्मूलित कर दिया।

रामकथा नवनीत के विद्वान् लेखक डाॅ• पांडुरंग राव कहते हैं- "भारतीय जन-जीवन को सच्चे अर्थों में भारतीयता(प्रकाश के प्रति प्रेम) से अनुप्राणित करने वाले दो आलोक पुंज हैं- प्रभाकर और सुधाकर।••••दोनों अपने अपने युग के निर्माता और युग-धर्म के संस्थापक रहे।धर्म का संस्थापन दोनों का ध्येय था, पर राम ने सत्य के आधार पर धर्म का पालन किया तो कृष्ण ने न्याय का अवलंबन लेकर धर्म को प्रतिष्ठित किया।सत्य और धर्म राम के आचरण के आधार थे तो न्याय और धर्म कृष्ण के व्यत्यस्त प्रतीत होने वाले विन्यस्त चरण थे।राम धर्म के मूर्तरूप थे तो कृष्ण धर्म के प्रतीक थे।राम प्रेम के प्रतिरूप थे तो कृष्ण प्रेम के उपासक थे।राम का लक्ष्य शुभ था और कृष्ण का ध्येय जय था।राम दिन के मार्तंड थे तो कृष्ण रात के राकेश थे।पर थे दोनों प्रकाश के पुंज।

इन दोनों से संबद्ध ग्रंथ रामायण का ज्ञान, महाभारत का कर्म और श्रीमद्भागवत की इच्छा-इन्हीं तीन सूत्रों से आबद्ध होकर आर्ष वाणी भारतभारती को भारतीय बनाती है।इसलिए भारतीय साहित्य, दर्शन और संस्कृति के आधार-त्रयी कहलाने योग्य ये तीनों ग्रंथ भारतीयता को पहचानने में अत्यंत सहायक ही नहीं,बल्कि अपरिहार्य साधन सिद्ध होते हैं।"

यह स्पष्ट है कि भारतीय मनीषा ने भगवान् श्रीकृष्ण पर जितना चिंतन किया है,लिखा है और कहा है,शायद और किसी पर नहीं।उस विचारोदधि के कुछ मुक्ताकण यहाँ युगानुकूल प्रासंगिकता के साथ प्रस्तुत हैं।सचमुच कृष्ण अछोर हैं।तभी तो वृंदावन का एक छोरा कभी वहाँ बाँसुरी बजाकर संपूर्ण अग-जग को अंतर्नाद से निनादित कर देता है,तो कभी कुरुक्षेत्र के मैदान में चक्र धारण कर किसी युग के पितामह को हतप्रभ कर देता है।द्वापर के महापुरुष श्रीकृष्ण सचमुच में उस काल में भारतराष्ट्र के राष्ट्रपुरुष (वेद के विराट्पुरुष और श्रीमद्भागवत के महापुरुष के समान ही यहाँ राष्ट्रपुरुष की संज्ञा दी गई है) थे।तभी तो दुर्योधन योजना बनाता रहा,कर्ण मित्रता का आदर्श रचता रहा,भीष्म पितामह प्रतिज्ञा की डोर को निहारते रहे,गुरुदेव द्रोणाचार्य दूध का मूल्य चुकाते रहे और इधर राष्ट्रपुरुष श्रीकृष्ण धर्मक्षेत्र-कुरुक्षेत्र में कर्म की डायरी को हाथ में लेकर असंख्य अक्षौहिणी सेना का हिसाब करते रहे।कोई कुछ समझ पाता, इसके पहले ही भारत को आततायियों से मुक्त कर महा ( न)-भारत बनाने के लिए वे आगे बढ़ते चले गए। 

मोहांध युग धृतराष्ट्र बनकर अपने परिवार में उलझा रहा और उधर अपने ही परिवार के समग्र संबंधों को समुद्र के तट पर न्योछावर कर दिया।ऐसा राष्ट्रपुरुष जो राष्ट्रभक्त विदुर को सहलाता है,राष्ट्रवीर अर्जुन को कर्म का पीयूष-पान कराता है और कभी चीरहरण की लीला करने वाला भरी सभा में द्रौपदी के लिए चीरावतार (वस्त्र के रूप में अवतार धारण करने वाला) हो जाता है।राष्ट्रपुरुष राष्ट्र के कल्याण के सम्मुख समग्र सांसारिक संबंधों को तिलांजलि दे देता है।वह अपने मामा कंस के एक अंश को भी सुरक्षित नहीं रहने देता है, भरी सभा में अपने संबंधी शिशुपाल का शिरोच्छेदन कर देता है।और तो और अपने इस शरीर को भी व्याधे के बाण के बहाने परित्याग कर भारत राष्ट्र की आत्मा में परिव्याप्त हो जाता है।आखिर वह परमात्मा ही तो है।

द्वापर में जब भारतराष्ट्र के राजवंश की मर्यादा क्षत-विक्षत होने लगी।राष्ट्रधर्म अपने अनन्य अनुजों के साथ ही निर्वासित हो गया।राष्ट्र की संस्कृति ही अपनी दहलीज पर सुरक्षित नहीं रही।वह भरी सभा में चीत्कार कर रही थी।इधर राष्ट्र की सत्ता की मर्यादा के लिए प्रतिज्ञाबद्ध पितामह ही द्वंद्व के दोराहे और अनिश्चय के चौराहे पर खड़े थे।संपूर्ण राष्ट्रजीवन मानो अनीति, अनाचार, दुराचार, कदाचार और व्यभिचार की वैतरणी में त्राहि-त्राहि कर रहा था।मानो राष्ट्र राष्ट्र नहीं,धृतराष्ट्र हो गया था । जय श्रीकृष्ण

Section-E

Case-Based questions (4x3-12)

Read the source given below and answer the questions that follow: Q.34. The silk routes are a good example of vibrant pre-modern trade and cultural links between distant parts of the world. The name 'silk routes' points to the importance of West-bound Chinese silk cargoes along this route. Historians have identified several silk routes, over land and by sea, knitting together vast regions of Asia, and linking Asia with Europe and northern Africa. They are known to have existed since before the Christian Era and thrived almost till the fifteenth century. But Chinese pottery also travelled the same route, as did textile and spices from India and Southeast Asia. In return, precious metals - gold and silver flowed from Europe to Asia. Trade and cultural exchanges always went hand in hand. Early Christian missionaries almost certainly travelled this route to Asia, as did early Muslim preachers a few centuries later. Much before all this, Buddhism emerged from eastern India and spread in several directions through intersecting points on the silk routes. (i) What is meant by the 'Silk Routes'? (1)

Answer : Several silk routes were trading routes , over land and by sea, knitting together vast regions of Asia, and linking Asia with Europe and northern Africa. (ii) Who else travelled these routes other than traders? (1)

Answer : Chinese Missionaries traders , Muslims preachers and Buddhists

(iii) What routes were identified by the historians? What exchange did Europe return to Asia in the form of trade? (2)

Answer : They are known to have existed since before the Christian Era and thrived almost till the fifteenth century. But Chinese pottery also travelled the same route, as did textile and spices from India and Southeast Asia. In return, precious metals - gold and silver flowed from Europe to Asia.

Q.35. Communal politics is based on the idea that religion is the principal basis of social community Communalism involves thinking along the following lines. The followers of a particular religion must belong to one community. Their fundamental interests are the same. Any difference that they may have is irrelevant or trivial for community life. It also follows that people who follow different religions cannot belong to the family laws: Those laws that deal with family related matters such a marriage, divorce, adoption, inheritance, etc. In our country, different family laws apply to follower of different religions. If the followers of different religion have some commonalities these an superficial and immaterial. Their interests are bound to be different and involve a conflict. In extreme form communalism leads to the belief that people belonging to different religions cannot live as equal citizens within one nation. Either, one of them has to dominate the rest or they have to form different nations.

(i) Communal politics is based on what idea?

Answer : The followers of a particular religion must belong to one community.

(ii) Can people who belong to different religions belong to same family laws?

Answer : It also follows that people who follow different religions cannot belong to the family laws.

Those laws that deal with family related matters such a marriage, divorce, adoption, inheritance, etc.

(iii) What does the extreme form of communalism lead to?

Answer : In extreme form communalism leads to the belief that people belonging to different religions cannot live as equal citizens within one nation. Either, one of them has to dominate the rest or they have to form different nations.

Q.36. Irrigation has also changed the cropping pattern of many regions with farmers shifting to water intensive and commercial crops. This has great ecological consequences like Stalinization of soil. At the same time, it has transformed the social landscape for e.g., Increasing the social gap between the richer land owners and landless poor.

A Community Living on the Edge : Jharia, a Burning City 

Jharia : A Community Living on the Edge  Jharia Burning : Photo : Ashok Karan

Jharia, a bustling suburb in the Dhanbad district of Jharkhand, India, faces a unique and harrowing challenge – an underground coal fire that has been burning for over a century. This persistent inferno, fueled by millions of tons of coal, has cast a long shadow over the lives of its residents.

Living with a Fiery Underbelly Smoke and embers rise from the earth, a constant reminder of the unseen flames below. The air is thick with toxic fumes, and the ground itself becomes treacherous, prone to sinking and cracking. Homes and roads have succumbed to this fiery menace, tragically claiming lives.

A Century of Struggle : The fires date back to 1916, predating nationalization in 1971. While efforts have been made to extinguish them, the flames stubbornly persist. Some progress has been achieved, with a reduction in the fire-affected area from 2017 to 2020. However, the fight is far from over.

A Reluctant Exodus : The state government has attempted to relocate residents to a safer area, but many are hesitant to leave their homes. Lack of basic amenities like water, sanitation, and employment opportunities in the new location make the decision a difficult one.

A Peculiar Draw : Jharia's fiery reality has become a reluctant tourist attraction. People from afar, particularly researchers, journalists, and social workers, visit to witness this unique and challenging way of life. Social activist Pinaki Roy describes the hardships faced by residents in areas like Indira Chowk, Boka Pahari, Rajapur, Bhagatdidh, Dhanu dih, and Lodna.

A Call to Action : The story of Jharia is a stark reminder of the environmental and human cost of unchecked resource extraction. Continued efforts are needed to extinguish the fires, improve living conditions for residents, and offer sustainable solutions for their future. As per Mr. Pinaki Roy the under fires of Jharia has improved a lot then before now. It is to be noted that all the pictures were shot long back

Picture details — 1. Road caved in due to under fire. 2. Scene of Jharia under fire,

3. Villager standing over the under fire land.
