आग्नेय वर्ष उपन्यास के इस हिस्से में एक मध्यवर्ग के कलाकार पास्तुख़ोव के
मानसिक द्वंद का एक शानदार चित्रण!
जो क्रांति से पहले आराम से जी रहा था, और
क्रांति के बाद जब प्रतिक्रियावादी कज्जाक उसे क्रांतिकारी होनेके संदेह में गिरफ्तार कर लेते
हैं, तब, गिरफ्तार होने के बाद,समाज की परिस्थितियों के
बारे में उसके दिमाग मे क्या विचार पैदा होते हैं, और अंत में वो किस प्रकार एक झींगुर को देखकर मध्यवर्ग की स्थिति
से घ्रणा कर उठाता है,
For all who think they are
safe from the point of employment and livelihood.
After anti-system
movement in Africa (Egypt, Tunisia, Libya [See
Here]) now in Europe (In Spain, and Paris, and
UK, and Egypt**) and also in Kazakhstan (See Here) many Youth are awaking and trying to put the demands of public
in focus against anti-public polities and activities of the ruling capitalist powers.
But, what the youths of
India are doing. They sometimes go with Anna Hazare for Lokpal Bill, sometimes
go with Baba Ramdev for anti-corruption and Black money issues. And there are
many protests of workers are happening (See
Report of Labor Day 2011 Demonstration), but
still most of the youths have no interest in it, they don't give much attention
to the demands of public, they look very busy in their own life or waiting that
"some people" will do everything for the whole public.
We should take a look
on these two types of movements, and the conditions of these African and European
nations compared to India. We see the situations and movements of Africa and Europe
and India.
How long to carry!!
In Spain anti-capitalism
protest is happening and in the Paris on 29th May people gathered for the
support of demonstrations across the country decrying mainstream politics,
unemployment and corruption (See
full report here). Now we see few points
explaining the current condition of Spain and whole Europe, a report by Neil
Clark (Full Report at:www.thefirstpost.co.ukLink
Here):
"# 81 million young people worldwide were without jobs at the
end of 2009 - the highest level of youth unemployment ever.
# Taking to the streets, in increasing numbers, to protest over the
country's high level of youth unemployment - which at 45 per cent is the
highest in the EU.
# Almost 21 per cent of 16 to 24-year-olds are unemployed.
# Youth unemployment is as high as 34 per cent"
What impact it had on
the people, in the view of Neil Clark:
"Is it any wonder
that people are getting angry?" "It's an anti-capitalism,
anti-market ruled society, anti-banks, anti-political corruption, anti-failed
democracy, anti-degraded democracy and pro-real democracy protest" He adds,
" I won't be surprised to hear the same thoughts expressed on the
streets of London and Manchester very soon."
Neil Clark draws a conclusion
for the problems that is neo-liberalism or open exploitation of
workers in contract based production. We can see some more. In
an article ("Food prices to double by 2030")
published in the Guardian on 31 May 2011, papers by Oxfam, says, "One in seven people on the planet go hungry every day
despite the fact that the world is capable of feeding everyone. The food system
must be overhauled." It is the truth of capitalist era.
At a place the article says that it
will lead to "political unrest" and "will require radical reform of the international food
system." According
to the article ruling powers must give attention to it, and so it is giving the picture of real conditions of the public so that rulers be ready for handling
the crises.
This article did not explained why it is
happening? Why, in spite of tons of grain are destroyed, one out
of seven people daily sleep hungry? It means that 100 crore people out of 700 crore of total world
population sleep hungry, not because of unavailability of food, but because of
theft by few people.See Here Why??
At this moment many people,
worldwide, who were supporting capitalism on the examples of European nations,
now where will they get justification for their utopia about capitalism? Whole
capitalist media, who all are the puppets of capitalists (all of us know it!!),
are silent on all these protests, and trying to hide these demonstrations all
around the Europe. Why? Only because these protests are anti-capitalism, it is
the demands of hard working public; not of any imperialist of any capitalist.
A March for Life
Now at this movement a
very big question arises that if African and now European youths are raising
their voice against worst life conditions in capitalism, which are not as
worst as in India here (See
detail : Here). Then, why Indians, here,
are not raising their voice for justice? See some of the facts; we
will get surprised, in India,
# 77 percent of the Indian population is
living below 20 rupees per day, which is nothing more than unemployment. In
this so called "income" (<20 rupees per day), 84 crore
people are living with poverty, which lead to malnutrition, and then
finally end to starvation of 84 crore poor people. And at other side numbers of
billionaires are increasing with fastest pace in the India.
# Over 394.9 million workers (86% of
the working population) belong to the unorganized sector and work under
“utterly deplorable” conditions with “extremely few livelihood options"
What is the reason that most of the
Indian youths are living in such a worst conditions without any shouting for justice,
while European start their demonstrations in much better conditions than presently
in India like unemployment, poverty, starvation, malnutrition, inequality, corruption
etc. etc. etc. (VISIT
HERE FOR ALL DETAIL OF CONDITIONS in INDIA)!!!!
Whenever any voice for
justice is raised then all anti-public means are tried out by the administration
and capitalists to crush it (See recent report on "A Major Victory for the Agitating Workers" and Bhatta Parsaul). Why most of us become so busy in our daily life that we cannot
see anything happening all around us; or we just satisfy ourselves by our
senseless discussions; or we don't have any faith in self and in public; or
we don't want to come out from a very long and anti-progress impact of 250
years of colonial slavery. We need to think about it, need to analyze it,
and then also act for it to bring progress for all with a change for all.
[Anti-Capitalism]
Ref: www.thenewsignificance.com
"If organic tissue
is capable of life it must react to every stimulus. ... "To pain I respond
with tears and outcries (चिल्लाहट), to baseness with indignation (क्रोध), to filth (नीचता) with loathing (घृणा). To my mind, that is just what
is called life. The lower the organism, the less sensitive it is, and the more
feebly it reacts to stimulus; and the higher it is, the more responsively and
vigorously it reacts to reality." - Chekhov
But, today this "life"
has forcibly pushed below the burden of earning livelihood, either of a poor
person or a rich person, and it is the reason why we don't react to any "stimulus"
we get every time, at every place.
This cannot be
continued!
This should not be
continued!!
This must not be
continued!!!
This will not be continued...
This is to be CHANGED.....

कल (1 मई 2011) जन्तर-मन्जर पर हजारों मजदूर भारत के मजदूरों के माँगपत्रक को सरकार
के सामनें रखनें के लिये अलग-अलग जगहों से आये हुये थे। लेकिन इस पूरी घटना के बारे
में पूरी पूँजीवादी मीडिया, जो अनेक छोटे-छोटे आन्दोलनों के प्रचार में लगा रहता,
और बेचनें के लियें मजदूरो की जिन्दगी पर फिल्में भी बना लेता है, उसनें मजदूरों
की माँगो का एक बार भी प्रचार नहीं किया। कर भी कैसे सकता था? जिन पूँजीपतियों से करोंड़ो रुपये लेकर ये पूरा
मीडिया चल रहा है वो मजदूरों की उन माँगों का प्रचार कैसे कर सकता है जो सीधे उनके
मालिको द्वारा मजदूरों का खुलेआम शोषण करके अपना घर भरने के विरुद्ध हो? जो पूँजीपति मजदूरों की मेहनत से पैदा होने वाले
पैसो को लूटकर इन लोगों के सामने फेक देते हैं, उनका विरोध यह लोग कैसे कर सकते
हैं, चाहे मजदूरो के साथ किसी भी हद तक गलत हो रहा हो।
इस सब
के बाबजूद अपनी माँगों को संसद के सामनें रखनें के लिये मजदूर देश के अलग-अलग
कोनों से हजारों की संख्या (आठ हजार) में जन्तर-मन्तर पर पहुँचे । आन्दोलन में शामिल
हुये कुछ मजदूरों से बात करके पता चला कि वो लोग गोरखपुर और लुधियाना से दिहाड़ी
पूरी करके घर से निकले थे और रविवार की शाम को ट्रेन से सीधे सुबह काम करने फैक्ट्री
जायेंगे जिनमें से कुछ मजदूर अपनें मालिको से लड़-झगड़ कर छुट्टी लेकर आये थे। ये
उन सभी मजदूरों की वर्ग की माँगों की एकता, और आने वाले समय में, आने वाली पीड़िओं
के लिये एक बेहतर भविष्य का सपना ही तो है जो उन्हें इतनी परेशानियों में भी
संघर्ष करने के लिये जुझारू जोश और हौसला देता है । ये मजदूर वो है, जिन्हें
सम्बोधित करने वाले एक कार्यकर्ता के शब्दों में, “पूरी साल के 365 दिन मालिक के
मुनाफे के लिये 12-12 से 16-16 घन्टे तक जी तोड़ मेहनत करते है।”, और अगर मालिक के लिये ये लोग 365 दिन अपनी
हड्डियाँ गला सकते हैं तो, “क्या एक दिन अपने लिये थोड़ी
सी मुसीबत नहीं सहन कर सकते...।”
सभा में मौजूद मजदूरों नें, जो अपनी बाजुओं
के दम पर पूरा देश खड़ा करते हैं, एक संकल्प लिया कि एकजुट होकर लूटमार,
भ्रष्टाचार और शोषण पर खड़ी पूरी पूँजीवादी व्यवस्था की नीव को ढहाकर आने वाले समय
में उसकी जगह पर एक नई समाजवादी व्यवस्था (जैसा कि आज सिर्फ संविधान में लिखा है:“प्रभुसत्ता
सम्पन्न, समाजवादी, धर्मनिरपेक्ष, लोकतांत्रिक
गणतंत्र”) बनानी है जो सही
मायनें में मेहनतकश जनता की व्यवस्था होगी ।
In the recent days I got an
opportunity to explore the Indian society beyond shining face of India. With
the same opportunity, last month, in the support of Workers’ Charter of Indian
I went to a labor area with my friends to promote the workers demands. After
some time of promotion activity one of the worker families come and informed
that tea is ready, don't leave without tea. This family was so poor that they
must not get good food for two times. They daily cook their food at the corner
of the streets with old Indian traditional fire Chulha. As they didn't
have money for milk, so they offered us lemon tea, this tea was offered with
great love and respect (much higher quality than any higher class Five Star Restaurant or even any higher society contact . . .)
Member of this family
work for whole day in the factories to produce resources for the “progress” of
India. The progress which is only enjoyed by few counted people who mostly don't work
for any production at all.
A Worker
This family, with a great
enthusiasm for a bright future of the Workers, donated twenty rupees for the
support of Workers' Charter Movement, (See
more information about W.C.M. Here) In a hope that proper arrangement can be made for workers
movement. How much twenty rupees matters to them? Most of the people cannot
imagine. Only that person can imagine who either living or ever lived in that conditions
of poverty and unavailability after hard work.
But, this family
is not only one. Their dreams for a healthy life is not only limited to their own life.
Will of all the working people, men and women, who all are left behind the
progress and deprived from all the resources they produce, are waiting for the
Change.
Many social groups,
political parties and some independent progressive intellectuals, in place of uniting
with this source of unbound progressive energy of working people, they keep
wondering here and there, throwing their hands and feet at this and that,
without any future of success.
Today, in this degenerated
stage of society, when whole society and its people are losing their
progressive will, there is a need to unite the progressive energy of Workers
with the Science of Society and unite all the intellect with the workers to
replace this society with a progressive society.
It is a time to raise your
voice in the support of workers' demands: For those who are providing us
everything.
In last one year have visited many worker areas in Delhi and
Gurgaon, and it was very surprising for me that workers who are pushed in these
areas are the majority, and they are forcibly deprived from every development
and progress on which whole nation is running. These poor people work in
factories, in service industries, in car production companies, in cloth making
companies, in coal and metal mines, and provide everything for the
progress, which is present all around us, and whatever we all us use in our daily life. But, they
themselves never get anything in return of their hard work, and remain
in worst living conditions with only food for two times which is also only that much so that that they can go to work next day.
May Day 2011
It is possible that workers would be thinking
that people who are enjoying on their hard work, one day their heart will
change and they will arrange a system where they will get a good livelihood for
their children and their family. (They have been thinking since centuries!)
On this International Labor Day 2011, working people from all over the India will
join together to present the charter of their demands before parliament of
India to implement all labor laws for contract workers who are the majority
of total work forces in India. All these laws are only defined in the
Constitution, but none of them are implemented for any contract work (See:
Report on CWG construction
Workers),
where most of the workers (men, women, and even children) are forced to work in the
worst conditions in very low wages.
All Workers Unite For their Rights
I want all justice loving people to come in the support of Workers' Charter Movement, because we all should have respect for those who make food,
cloth, books, houses and all other things we see around us. Present TV Channels
and Newspapers which were promoting the movement for 'Lokpal Bill', whole day and whole night,
that same news media will never promote these justified demands of the workers. So, as a part of the society everyone must join the workers to strengthen them to put their demands before the parliament of India, andcome
on Jantar Mantar, New Delhi on the International Labor Day (1st May 2011). If we think that this is really justified demand of the Indian Workers then must promote these demands among our friends and social circle and ask them to come and join the working people.
निकोलाई चर्नेविश्की के कुछ शब्दों में (From Novel "What is to be Done" by Nikolai Chernyshevsky):
"कितना विचित्र यह नहीं कि कोइ व्यक्ति कहे, "मैं प्रसन्न हूँ।", और मानववादी
तात्पर्य होता है, "मैं सभी को प्रसन्न होते देखना चाहता हूँ।" और दोनों
बाते एक ही हैं।" (98.2)
"जीवन, प्रकृति और सामान्य विवेक एक दिशा में
खींचते हैं, और पुस्तकें दूसरी दिशा में |" (109)
“जहाँ तक इस बात का सवाल है कि लोगों की मूर्खता नई व्यवस्था की
स्थापना में बाधक है, मै मानता हूँ कि वह बाधा है, लेकिन . . . . जैसे ही
वह इसमें अपना कुछ लाभ देखेंगे जो वे पहले नहीं देख पाए तो तत्काल अक्लमन्द हो
जाएँगे । उन्हे अक्ल पाने का अभी अवसर ही कहाँ मिला, लेकिन अवसर मिलते ही
वे इसका पूरा-पूरा लाभ
उठानें में देर नहीं लगाएँगे।” (114-115)
“तरीकों का चुनाव परिस्थितियों के अनुसार किया जा सकता है, चरित्र के
अनुसार नहीं ।” (119)
“गौण व्यक्तियों अथवा लक्ष्यों के पीछे अपना समय बर्बाद मत करो, बल्कि मूलभूत
की ओर, उसके निर्धारक तत्व कि ओर ध्यान दो, इससे गौण कार्य और लोग
भी बदलेंगे हस्तक्षेप करके या न करके |” (285.1)
“कोइ ऐसा शिखर नही कि जिस पर पहुँचा न जा सके; जिस पर केवल श्रेष्ठ ही आसीन हो सकता हो
। मेरे अभागे मित्रों अपने पंक से उबरो, दिन के उजाले में आओ, प्राप्त
स्वतंत्रता से खुश होओ, यह सहज है, अत्यन्त सम्मोहक है, बस कोशिस करके
देखने की जरूरत है । देखो और सोचो, और ऐसी पुस्तकें पढ़ो
जो शुध्दआनन्द, सद्गुण और सुख
की चर्चा करती हैं ।” (314.2)
“झोपड़ियों को ही देखनें वाला व्यक्ति, सामान्य भवन
का चित्र देखकर उसे प्रसाद ही समझ बैठता है ।” (314.2)
“हम सब लोगों का यही तो स्वभाव है कि दूसरो को भी अपने ही मानक से
मापते हैं ।” (318.4)
“किसी पुस्तक के किसी पात्र के बारे में कहा जाता है, "झूठ ने कभी उसके
होठो को स्पर्श नहीं किया।", अथवा, "उसके ह्रदय
में कोइ छल-कपट नहीं था।" पाठक सोचेगा, "कितना चकित कर देने
वाला सद्गुण।", लेखक सोचेगा, "यह है नायक, जो सभी को चकित कर
देगा।" पहला लिखते समय अंधा था दूसरा अब पढ़ते समय ।”
(353.1)
“हर किसी का स्वभाव अपना-अपना होता है, जबकि
उत्तेजनशील व्यक्ति सावधानी से खीझता है, शान्त स्वभाव आकस्मिक
उताबलेपन से बिद्रोह कर उठता है।” (400.1)
“किसी खास स्वभाव वाले लोग किसी खास बात के लिए उस समय तक परवाह
नहीं करते जब तक कि इससे उनके सामान्य जीवन पर प्रभाव नहीं पड़ता, जो कि उनके
विचार में कहीं अधिक महात्वपूर्ण है।” (401.3)
“मानव जाति अगर अपने विचार उन्मुक्त कर दे तो वह निश्चय ही दस गुना
तेजी के साथ प्रगति करेगी।” (420.7)
Some Progressive
visuals from the human history, which provided a feeling and respect of being a
human in the heart, mind and life of the masses of working people.
In
the words of John Reed to explain the condition of October Revolution
(1917) in Russia: From
the book “Ten Days that shook the world”:
-->
“In a provincial town I
knew a merchant family turned speculator -maradior (bandit, ghoul) the Russians
call it.” .
. “while the masses of the people got a quarter pound of black bread on their
bread cards, he had an abundance of white bread, sugar, tea, candy, cake and
butter.... Yet when the soldiers at the front could no longer fight from cold,
hunger and exhaustion, how indignantly did this family scream “Cowards!” – “how
ashamed they were to be Russians”... When finally the Bolsheviks found and
requisitioned vast hoarded stores of provisions, what “Robbers” they were.”
(Page- 49.3)
-->
-->
-->
“As in all such times,
the petty conventional life of the city went on, ignoring the Revolution
as much as possible. The poets made verses-but not about the Revolution.
The realistic painters painted scenes from medieval Russian history-anything
but the Revolution.” (Page- 53.5)
“The
waiters and hotel servants were organized, and refused tips.” . . . “On the
walls of restaurants they put up signs which read, ”No tips taken here-” or,
”Just because a man has to make his living waiting on table is no reason to
insult him by offering him a tip!” (Page- 54.2)
“Hundreds of thousands
of pamphlets were distributed by thousands of organizations, and poured into
the armies, the villages, the factories, the streets. The thirst for education,
so long thwarted, burst with the Revolution into a frenzy of expression.” . . .
“Russia absorbed reading matter like hot sand drinks water, insatiable. And it
was not fables, falsified history, diluted religion, and the cheap fiction that
corrupts-but social and economic theories, philosophy, the works of Tolstoy,
Gogol, and Gorky....” (Page- 55.1)
