एक नजरिया ऎसा भी ।

मैं शांति से बैठा अख़बार पढ़ रहा था, तभी कुछ मच्छरों ने आकर मेरा खून चूसना शुरू कर दिया। स्वाभाविक प्रतिक्रिया में मेरा हाथ उठा और अख़बार से चटाक हो गया और दो-एक मच्छर ढेर हो गए.!! फिर क्या था उन्होंने शोर मचाना शुरू कर दिया कि मैं असहिष्णु हो गया हूँ.!! मैंने कहा तुम खून चूसोगे तो मैं मारूंगा.!! इसमें असहिष्णुता की क्या बात है.??? वो कहने लगे खून चूसना उनकी आज़ादी है.!! "आज़ादी" शब्द सुनते ही कई बुद्धिजीवी उनके पक्ष में उतर आये और बहस करने लगे.!! इसके बाद नारेबाजी शुरू हो गई., "कितने मच्छर मारोगे हर घर से मच्छर निकलेगा".???
बुद्धिजीवियों ने अख़बार में तपते तर्कों के साथ बड़े-बड़े लेख लिखना शुरू कर दिया.!! उनका कहना था कि मच्छर देह पर मौज़ूद तो थे लेकिन खून चूस रहे थे ये कहाँ सिद्ध हुआ है.?? और अगर चूस भी रहे थे तो भी ये गलत तो हो सकता है लेकिन 'देहद्रोह' की श्रेणी में नहीं आता, क्योंकि ये "बच्चे" बहुत ही प्रगतिशील रहे हैं., किसी की भी देह पर बैठ जाना इनका 'सरोकार' रहा है.!!
मैंने कहा मैं अपना खून नहीं चूसने दूंगा बस.!!! तो कहने लगे ये "एक्सट्रीम देहप्रेम" है.! तुम कट्टरपंथी हो, डिबेट से भाग रहे हो.!!! मैंने कहा तुम्हारा उदारवाद तुम्हें मेरा खून चूसने की इज़ाज़त नहीं दे सकता.!!! इस पर उनका तर्क़ था कि भले ही यह गलत हो लेकिन फिर भी थोड़ा खून चूसने से तुम्हारी मौत तो नहीं हो जाती, लेकिन तुमने मासूम मच्छरों की ज़िन्दगी छीन ली.!! "फेयर ट्रायल" का मौका भी नहीं दिया.!!! इतने में ही कुछ राजनेता भी आ गए और वो उन मच्छरों को अपने बगीचे की 'बहार' का बेटा बताने लगे.!!
हालात से हैरान और परेशान होकर मैंने कहा कि लेकिन ऐसे ही मच्छरों को खून चूसने देने से मलेरिया हो जाता है, और तुरंत न सही बाद में बीमार और कमज़ोर होकर मौत हो जाती है.!! इस पर वो कहने लगे कि तुम्हारे पास तर्क़ नहीं हैं इसलिए तुम भविष्य की कल्पनाओं के आधार पर अपने 'फासीवादी' फैसले को ठीक ठहरा रहे हो..!!! मैंने कहा ये साइंटिफिक तथ्य है कि मच्छरों के काटने से मलेरिया होता है., मुझे इससे पहले अतीत में भी ये झेलना पड़ा है.!! साइंटिफिक शब्द उन्हें समझ नहीं आया.!! तथ्य के जवाब में वो कहने लगे कि मैं इतिहास को मच्छर समाज के प्रति अपनी घृणा का बहाना बना रहा हूँ., जबकि मुझे वर्तमान में जीना चाहिए..!!! इतने हंगामें के बाद उ

An excellent post in the Present scenario...
If you criticize me,
it's your freedom of speech
If I criticize you,
it's my Intolerance
If you judge me,
you are Enlightened
If I judge you,
I am Prejudiced
If you question my faith,
then you are Secular
If I question your faith,
then I am Communal
If you defend yourself,
it's because you are a Victim
If I defend myself,
it's because I am Ignorant
If you pen your thoughts,
it's Revolutionary
If I pen my thoughts,
it's Provocation
If you march,
it's a Protest
If I march,
it's a Mob
If you lodge a complaint,
you r following the Course of Law
If I lodge a complaint,
I am Misusing the Law
Try twisting all the words,
the only one you fool is The Man in the Mirror!
Now one has to identify who is I and who is you...

Media is considered as the fourth pillar of Democracy hence it must have the great responsibility on its solder. But it becomes very painful to observe that a big group of media instead of finding the way to persuade our political leader and public servant in nation building, it has make itself engage in creating controversy after passing out statement of one person to another in its own way, sometimes using tactics to get answer of its choice keeping in mind to use it as a product in media Industry. That was the reason Narender Modi made caution against news traders.
In Bihar Election we hardly heard media raised the basic problems of Bihar and asked tough questions to candidate about his plan to eradicate those problems. Instead media had highlighted the Dadari & Cow like issues.
Other three pillars of democracy has some kind of check and balance but media is not & absolutely free. Thus it must behave in somewhat more sensible and responsible way. And as a citizen, we must also understand the difference between tough question and loaded question.

Dear Arnab,

The nation does not really want to know more about sheena , indrayani or anyone connected to the Mukherjea family. Sheena was killed n we all feel sorry for her . No one deserves to die this way n our blood boils but end of the day it's a private family matter n the law will deal with it appropriately. May be harsh to say but it's a fact that sheena or those connected do not add any value to the nation. Even the jokes have exhausted.
What the nation wants to know is will onion n commodity prices come down. Will corruption stop, will the reservation end, would everyone get good education , food , shelter , clean air n health care, will female infanticide stop, will the caste system end, would terrorism cease, would the soldiers get OROP, would the farmer suicides stop, would we have cheap housing n transportation, would we ever be free from religious fanaticism. The list is endless.
What the nation does not want to know is how good you or your channel is in sensationalising the whole issue n how much is your TRP rating.
You hv a powerful media n should be used for the
betterment of the nation.
Judiciary is powerful and very capable of dealing with heinous crimes n sheena will get justice without your help.
