मर्यादा का घूँघट

-
पैदा होते ही फ़ीकी सी मुस्कान देख मैं रोई,
कूड़े की चादर ओढ़े, आँसूओं की मालाएँ पिरोई।
मिली किसी अनजान को,जिसने हृदय से मुझे लगाया,
कहा मुझे प्यारी सी बिटिया, लाडो कहकर खिलखिलाया।
तब जाकर माँ के स्पर्ष का कोमल ,एहसास मुझे हो आया,
मेरे सर पर ममता का आँचल जैसे लहराया।
बड़ी हुई,खेली-कूँदी और सखियों संग स्वांग रचाया।
यसोदा जैसी मैया से मैने खूब लाड़ लड़ाया।
समय का फेर फिर बदला छूटा मैया का साथ।
लो बड़ी हो गई मैं भी अब तो ,छूटे सारे अरमान।
रोका सबने टोका मुझको,तुम कहीं न बाहर जाना।
ओढ़ ये घूंघट मर्यादा का, रीत निष्ठा से निभाना।
यहाँ गिरी,फिर वहां गिरी ठोकरें मिली हज़ार।
न थमा ये ढोंग मर्यादा का, रूढ़ियों की चली तलवार।
न कदम रखे, घर के बाहर,न देखी बाहर की दुनिया।
बस चार दिवारी घर ही कि बन गयी अब तो मेरी दुनिया।
ऐसे मत पहनों,चलो अदब से,देख समाज गुरर्राएगा।
हँसो आहिस्ता, बैठो ढंग से तभी अदब तुममें समाएगा।
वो बुरी नज़र, वो बुरा व्यवहार उनका है जन्मसिद्ध अधिकार।
तुम तो हो समझदार ,बस संभल कर तुम्हे ही रहना है।
ज्यादा न कुछ तुमको बेटा इस दुनिया से कहना है।
निःशब्द रहो....बेटा , इस दुनिया से कुछ न कहना है....

सारे ज़माने की तोहमत,  हमें ही बुरा कहेंगे न!
इतना सब सहन किया लेकिन अब बहुत हुआ,
अब बहुत हुआ।
हमने भी बस कहा जगत से ,अब न होगा रोना-धोना।
न होगा ये ढ़ोंग-धतूरा। न झूठा अदब आडम्बर।
जब किया नही कुछ गलत तो सिर क्यों हम झुकाए।
हिम्मत से चलेंगे,आगे बढ़ेंगे,उड़ाने ऊंची भरेंगे।
है दम तो रोक के दिखलाओ।
हुम् भी किसी से कम तो नहीं।
कभी दुर्गा,कभी लक्ष्मी,कभी काली बन जाउंगी।
अब न सहन करूँगी मैं,सबको अब सबक सिखाऊंगी।
करनी है हमको अपने मन की ,न सहे किसी मनमानी।
अब हमने भी आवाज उठाई ,अपनी करने की ठानी।
न रुकेगी अब , न थके की अब ।
आवाज़ की ज्वाला सी आंधी, 
सुन लो ओ ज़माने के पहरेदारों ।
हमने भी त्रिशूल उठाया है।
शिक्षा से ,बुद्धि से, ज्ञान का दीप जलाएंगे।
हम हर अंधेरे को अपनी काबिलियत से मिटाएंगे।
मैं बेटी हूँ, तो बहन कभी ,कभी हूँ माँ का रूप ।
मत जगाओ अंदर की ज्वाला ,में शांत हूँ अनंत अनूप।
मैं शांत हूँ अनंत अनूप। मैं शांत हूँ अनंत अनूप......

Is the Sanctity of Parliamentary Debate, Which Lies at the Core of Democratic Decision-Making, Being Compromised?

-
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...

‘India had parliamentary institutions when people of Europe were mere nomads’

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...

Navigating the Complexities of Cross-Border Insolvency

Cross-border , or international insolvency, refers to scenarios where a financially distressed debtor has assets and creditors spread across various jurisdictions . This predominantly concerns multinational corporations rather than individual bankruptcies, presenting unique challenges and considerations. The Jet Airways Case Study A prominent example of cross-border insolvency is the Jet Airways case. The airline found itself entangled in insolvency proceedings in both India and the Netherlands. Initially, the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) in India declared the Dutch proceedings void. However, a cooperation protocol was later established, identifying the Indian proceedings as the main proceedings and the Dutch proceedings as non-main proceedings. This case underscores the intricacies and judicial diplomacy required in cross-border insolvency matters. Key Challenges Jurisdictional Issues : Identifying the primary jurisdiction's court over insolvency proceedings remains a com...
