Kuch batein

Kuch hui hai mulakate,

To jarur hui hogi kuch batein

Aadat ye aachi nhi h

Batana har kisi ko har bat,

Beparda kuch lamho ko nhi kiya jata h

Ek bar agar bol diya to 

Har ek lafz ko tola jata h

Kase ho tum..kese kya kar gye

राजपूतों की उत्पत्ति

इन राजपूत वंशों की उत्पत्ति के विषय में विद्धानों के दो मत प्रचलित हैं- एक का मानना है कि राजपूतों की उत्पत्ति विदेशी है, जबकि दूसरे का मानना है कि, राजपूतों की उत्पत्ति भारतीय है। 12वीं शताब्दी के बाद् के उत्तर भारत के इतिहास को टोड ने 'राजपूत काल' भी कहा है। कुछ इतिहासकारों ने प्राचीन काल एवं मध्य काल को 'संधि काल' भी कहा है। इस काल के महत्वपूर्ण राजपूत वंशों में राष्ट्रकूट वंश, चालुक्य वंश, चौहान वंश, चंदेल वंश, परमार वंश एवं गहड़वाल वंश आदि आते हैं।

विदेशी उत्पत्ति के समर्थकों में महत्वपूर्ण स्थान 'कर्नल जेम्स टॉड' का है। वे राजपूतों को विदेशी सीथियन जाति की सन्तान मानते हैं। तर्क के समर्थन में टॉड ने दोनों जातियों (राजपूत एवं सीथियन) की सामाजिक एवं धार्मिक स्थिति की समानता की बात कही है। उनके अनुसार दोनों में रहन-सहन, वेश-भूषा की समानता, मांसाहार का प्रचलन, रथ के द्वारा युद्ध को संचालित करना, याज्ञिक अनुष्ठानों का प्रचलन, अस्त्र-शस्त्र की पूजा का प्रचलन आदि से यह प्रतीत होता है कि राजपूत सीथियन के ही वंशज थे।

विलियम क्रुक ने 'कर्नल जेम्स टॉड' के मत का समर्थन किया है। 'वी.ए. स्मिथ' के अनुसार शक तथा कुषाण जैसी विदेशी जातियां भारत आकर यहां के समाज में पूर्णतः घुल-मिल गयीं। इन देशी एवं विदेशी जातियों के मिश्रण से ही राजपूतों की उत्पत्ति हुई।

भारतीय इतिहासकारों में 'ईश्वरी प्रसाद' एवं 'डी.आर. भंडारकर' ने भारतीय समाज में विदेशी मूल के लोगों के सम्मिलित होने को ही राजपूतों की उत्पत्ति का कारण माना है। भण्डारकर, कनिंघम आदि ने इन्हे विदेशी बताया है। । इन तमाम विद्वानों के तर्को के आधार पर निष्कर्षतः यह कहा जा सकता है कि, यद्यपि राजपूत क्षत्रियों के वंशज थे, फिर भी उनमें विदेशी रक्त का मिश्रण अवश्य था। अतः वे न तो पूर्णतः विदेशी थे, न तो पूर्णत भारतीय।

UNSEEN FACE

The muddy roads , the pits on the road , heavy rain filling them and smelling earth that was the best part of the village.
This village was also unique because it kissed the clouds at an altitude of 1200 ft above sea level . Even sea contours could not match it. I see people touching the sun just before its settling down. But I saw a moon in the day she was all white fearing the consequences of breaking the earthen pot.

“Go and kill that bi**h” were the words I heard from my father.

Shocked, surprised and doubting I removed the binoculars and asked faintly,’who?’.

“That bi**h which keeps on barking”. Then relaxed I gained my breadth.

She was still standing there and I was almost sure she cried because the eye lashes seen weren’t clear as the binoculars didn’t had a great sight. Till now I am all ready into her and my heart was aggressively thumping as if it tried to break free from my body and my soul could have faced a dumping. The faint lights added more to my heart ,the snow covered fields made me kind of retard. So from that day on I’ve been dreaming of her looking into the streams but it was only my reflection that returned after some screams.

She then disappeared no one knows how. Her father might have traded her that much I can say because he was one of the drunken masters who didn’t know karate but use to play cards or sip the free brandy .
I was on my vacation from Mumbai
And was also the only one from my village who has been placed in such a huge city.
3:30 am the alarm rings just 2 hours left for the train which was back to the financial capital , Mumbai.
On the train through out the journey after even figuring a star actor I could not resist thinking of her , I was trying to put a face on that dress and lean body of her but I failed in every attempt.

Two months later i received a phone call- ” beta a man is coming to Mumbai from our village to you for your help”-it was dad and I was eager to know who that person was.

To the college I took a taxi at the gate of the college there was a group of beggars. A girl without a hand and a leg headed them she begged and I gave her 2 rupees.

3 days later my mate from my land arrived and surprised me as he was the brother of that girl who was in my memory without a face. He had received an information that she was spotted in Mumbai.

I asked him to show her picture I was super exited but it broke my heart when I found that picture exactly alike. Of that girl with no hand and no leg and the girl with that unseen face.
