लघु कथा - जो राम रचि राखा


                     जो राम रचि राखा
                                                     

 "बेटा यह शादी नहीं हो सकती ।'
 "क्यों पापा ? वह हमारी जाति की नहीं है,इस लिए ?'
 "एक कारण यह भी हो सकता था पर तुम्हारी खुशी के लिए हम इस शादी के लिए तैयार हो गए थे। पर तुम दोनो की जन्म पत्री नहीं मिल रही है।पंडित जी ने कहा है कि लड़की के भाग्य में वैधव्य का योग है... इसलिए उन्होंने इस विवाह से इंकार कर दिया है और यह बात सुन कर  हम भी हाँ कैसे  कर सकते ?'
 "पापा हमारा पढ़ा लिखा परिवार है... इन दकियानूसी बातों पर आप विश्वास  करते हैं ?
 "हाँ बेटा इस में तो हम विश्वास  करते हैं।'
 पापा यदि ये पंडित ऐसे किस्मत पढ़ सकते तो इनके परिवार में   कोई बेटी या बहू विधवा नहीं होती। ...  आपको तो पता है न कि पिछले वर्ष ही इन पंडित जी की बेटी शादी के एक साल बाद ही विधवा हो गई थी।क्या इन्होंने कुंडली नहीं मिलाई होगी ?' 
 "बेटा तू बहस बहुत करता है।'
 "पापा मैं बहस नहीं कर रहा, सच्चाई के उदाहरण दे कर आप को ऐसे बेतुके अंधविश्वासों  से बचाने की   कोशिश कर रहा हूँ। ...प्लीज पापा ।'
 "ठीक है बेटा दिल पर पत्थर रख कर स्वंय को यह कह कर समझा लेंगे कि होवत वही जो राम रचि राखा ।'
 " थैंक यू,यह हुई न मेरे पापा वाली बात '

The Revolt of 1857 — the First War of Independence! By the first half of the 19th century, the East India Company had brought major portions of India under its control. One hundred years after the Battle of Plassey, anger against the unjust and oppressive British Government took the form of a revolt that shook the very foundations of British rule in India. While British historians called it the Sepoy Mutiny, Indian historians named it the Revolt of 1857 or the First War of Indian Independence.

The Sanyasi Rebellion in North Bengal and the Chunar rebellion in Bihar and Bengal broke out in the late eighteenth century. There were several peasant uprisings in the mid- nineteenth century, the most important of which were those by the Moplah peasants of the Malabar and the Faraizi movement by Muslim peasants in Bengal. The first hal...

"Exploring India's Majestic Dams: Benefits, Hydroelectric Power, and Water Management"

DAMS OF INDIA What are dams ? Dams are structures built across rivers or water bodies to regulate water flow and store water. They play a crucial role in water resource management, providing irrigation, drinking water, and hydroelectric power generation. Dams help control floods by storing excess water during periods of heavy rainfall and releasing it gradually. Hydroelectric power is generated by harnessing the potential energy of flowing or falling water through turbines. Dams create reservoirs that provide a reliable water supply for various purposes, including agriculture, industries, and domestic use. Many dams also offer recreational activities such as boating, fishing, and tourism due to their scenic locations. However, dam construction can lead to environmental and social impacts, including habitat loss, displacement of communities, and altered river ecosystems. Regular maintenance and safety measures are crucial to ensure the structural integrity and safe ope...
