नई दिल्ली रेलवे स्टेशन दुर्घटना एवं महाकुम्भ

धर्म और आस्था प्रायः हर व्यक्ति के लिए महत्त्वपूर्ण होता है। इसलिए महाकुम्भ में स्नान करने की लोगों की इच्छा बहुत ही स्वभाविक है। ठीक उसी तरह सरकार हर उपलब्ध मौके को अपनी उपलब्धि के रूप में दिखाने की प्रवृत्ति होती है। किन्तु इन दोनों के बीच में जब सामंजस्य नहीं रह जाता है तो समस्या आती ही है और जब व्यवस्थाएं लोगों और सत्ता की महत्त्वकांक्षाओं का भार उठा पाने में असक्षम हो तो यह दुर्घटनाओं को आमंत्रित करता ही है।

महाकुम्भ में हर धार्मिक व्यक्ति नहा लेना चाहता है और उत्तर प्रदेश सरकार चाहती है कि इस महाकुम्भ में अधिक से अधिक लोग स्नान कर लें ताकि वह इसे एक उपलब्धि के रूप में दुनिया के सामने रख सके। इस कुम्भ में स्नान के लिए आनेवाले लोगों की संख्या और व्यवस्था को देखा जाए तो यह निश्चित रूप से एक उपलब्धि जैसा है ही। किन्तु उपलब्धि के माथे कुछ दाग भी हैं!

पहले अमृत स्नान के दिन हुड़दंग के बाद प्रारम्भ हुए भगदड़ में अनेकों लोगों की अकाल मृत्यु हुई। रोज ही सड़कों पर अनेकों लोगों तीर्थयात्रियों की विभिन्न दुर्घटनाओं में मृत्यु हो रही है। और कल नई दिल्ली रेलवे स्टेशन पर 18 लोगों की भगदड़ में दुर्भाग्यपूर्ण मृत्यु हुई। इतनी बड़ी व्यवस्था में छिटपूट दुर्घटनाओं की कोई गिनती है ही नहीं।

Whose Misfortune is This? BJP or Congress?

One of my friends is a Congressman. His entire family environment is completely supportive of Congress. For him, it is Congress which comes into his sight in every situation. This I find as his one of the biggest virtues.

I met him a few days ago. It was after a long time that we met. So, the conversation went on for a long time. The conversation started getting too formal, so I pulled his leg and asked him -

“Bhai! This time you must be participating in Miss India?”

I asked this question to tease him. I was expecting that he would tease me in return, as has often happened between us. But he became a little serious and answered with a pause -

“Rahul Gandhi is getting stronger, this is very good. Every Congressman wants this. And it was also very necessary. Now the BJP people have come out of intoxication and have returned to their senses! But Rahul Gandhi should not have become a communist! Looking and finding caste in everything is not right! Neither for the party nor for the nation!”

Story of a Fact Checker and a Caste Checker

Two checkers (chokers) are doing their job honestly these days. The rest are just boasting and thumping their chests! One is a fact checker, and the other is a caste checker! Yes, you get it right! I am talking about Mohammad Zubair and Rahul Gandhi.

Mohammad Zubair and Rahul Gandhi; both have a huge support base in India. Mohammad Zubair finds his supporters among almost all the Muslims and all the members of Jamaat-e-Secularism. Muslims supporters of Zubair support him for his blind dedication to Islam and the members of Jamaat-e-Secularism support him for supplying some information and misinformation to oppose RSS and Narendra Modi. Strangely Rahul Gandhi also finds his supporters among those Muslims and the members of Jamaat-e-Secularism!

First Beneficiary of Lateral Entry to Civil Services

A lot of drama is going on in the lateral entry to civil services which the Government of India had planned to recruit this year!

That is great! People are aware of it and political parties are taking cognizance of the same; particularly Congress and its leader Rahul Gandhi!

Let's learn about the history of lateral entry into civil services and who was the first beneficiary of lateral entry into civil services?

It was Vijay Laxmi Pandit. She was the first beneficiary of lateral entry into civil services!

On independence from British rule in 1947, India got her beneficiary of lateral entry into civil services and she was Vijay Laxmi Pandit. She was inducted into the diplomatic services of India and was made ambassador to many countries from 1947 to 1961. She was made the ambassador of the Soviet Union from 1947 to 1949, the United States and Mexico from 1949 to 1951, Ireland & Britain from 1955 to 1961, and Spain from 1956 to 1961.
