anokha rishta

-

chhoti si kali thi, jo khilne chali thi,
kisi baag ki wo komal kali thi,
na thi koi chhaya , na marham si kaya
phir bhi kadi thi, wo khilne chali thi.

phir ek roz ek Asha ki kaya
aayi kiran banke jaise madhur geet chhaya
thi kaya nurani or kirne ruhani
badi khoobsoorat jaise pariyon ki raani

mili jab kali se wo nurani kaya
hawa bhi thi mehkti sugandhit si dhara
khili wo kali phir kirnon ke jatan se
aur aise khili jaise kaliyan chaman me

tha madhurya itna is rishte ki kasak me
jaise bheeni si khooboo mehki gagan me
hai rishta anokha anokhi kahani
jo meetha hai mishri sa aur sath nuraani

bandha pyaar se ye bandhan humara
jaise ganga ki behti wo pavitra dhaara
jiska roop hai komal aur anant dhaara
aisa hi hai ye rishta hamara

-
From the historical view where the core of parliamentary debates was based on public welfare, the utilitarianism principle where every individual was very much aware of being responsible for his/her words towards the public, their actions and reactions were under the basic rule. The decorum of parliament was maintained and the politicians were public servants thinking of a collective decision where the core value was to take a step in the public welfare way. Thinking of that era when like-minded people were making decisions for a common vision that was devoted to a well-developed nation as a whole. But if we talk about today's debates they sound to be senseless.   Fighting with the elders, breaking public property, unethical slogans, and quotations to put-down the individual's public and private image is not at all the act of the responsible member of parliament. The core value is dying with the baseless debates where logical thinking and analytical norms are missing. There wa...

The quote by  Dr. B.R. Ambedkar, "India had parliamentary institutions when people of Europe were mere nomads,"  is a powerful testament to the ancient civilization's early advancements in governance and societal structures. It speaks volumes about the historical context of India's political systems, which were far more developed than often recognized in the common Eurocentric narrative of history. This essay will delve into the implications of Ambedkar's statement, exploring its historical accuracy, its significance in the context of Indian pride and identity, and its relevance in contemporary discussions about the origins and evolution of democratic institutions. Firstly, various historical records and scholarly research support the assertion that India had parliamentary institutions in ancient times. The 'sabha' and 'samiti' of the Vedic period, for instance, are indicative of consultative assemblies that played a role in governance. These bodie...
