Consequently, CG sources said, their warships that were carrying out a war game off the Gujarat coast had to be diverted for surveillance and patrol at the wrong location in the Sir Creek area, whereas the terrorists entered waters off south Gujarat. "The terrorists leaked false information about their time and place of arrival to the intelligence agencies to divert Coast Guard and Naval ships in wrong direction and entered through the high seas in to Indian territory. They did the same in 1993 blasts also," sources said. Talking about the intelligence inputs received by the sea-guarding agencies, sources said, "when we received inputs from the agencies, they indicated that the terrorists' ship was moving in through the Sir Creek area and we had heightened our vigil there," sources said. At the time of receiving the input, the Coast Guard, the Navy and the IAF were carrying out war games codenamed 'Exercise Defence' off Gujarat coast, officials said. "We were carrying out exercises with six ships each from the Navy and the Coast Guard, and over 20 aircraft from all the three services," they said. After receiving the input, the assets of all the three forces were diverted towards Sir Creek area and there they apprehended a "few" Pakistani infiltrators. "On November 19, during our search operations in the Sir Creek area, we apprehended a few infiltrators. But the terrorists took the south Gujarat route from the high seas to reach the Mumbai coast and carried out attacks," sources claimed. During the 1993 Mumbai blasts too, the terrorists had leaked information to Customs officials that a huge consignment of Silver was being smuggled into a south Goa port from Pakistan, they added. "The security agencies were busy in south Goa and meanwhile the terrorists unloaded RDX at a port in Raigarh district in Maharashtra," the sources said. After the recent Mumbai terror strikes, the Coast Guard and the Navy have come under sharp criticism for allegedly ignoring intelligence inputs about terrorists taking the sea route to carry out their plans inside the Indian territory. However, the armed forces have maintained that the inputs from the intelligence community were not "specific" or "actionable," but routine warnings given at regular intervals. SOURCE: Times of India

हमारे मन - मष्तिस्क में यह प्रश्न अनादिकाल से बार - बार प्रकट होता रहा है | हम पुरुषों में प्रायः इस बात पर चर्चा होती ही रहती है कि स्त्री का चरित्र कितना गहरा हो सकता है ?

पुरुषों की टोली , जहाँ यह चर्चा जारी रहती है अंततः सभी इस निष्कर्ष तक ( अधिकाँश समय ) पहुंचते हैं कि " स्त्री का मन और उसका चरित्र तो साक्षात् ईश्वर भी नहीं भाँप सकते तो हम क्या चीज़ हैं ? स्त्री का चरित्र तो त्रि-आयामी स्वरुप लिए होता है , कब कौन सी बात पर क्या रंग दिखलायेगा यह अनुमान लगाना ब्रम्हा के लिए भी कदाचित् दुष्कर कार्य है " |

चलो यह तो हुआ पुरूष प्रधान समाज के एक बड़े हिस्से का निर्णय लेकिन जहाँ तक मेरे जीवन के अनुभवों को मैं खंगालता हूँ तो यह बात सामने आती है कि मुझे व्यक्तिगत रूप से स्त्री के मन को समझने में कोई समस्या नहीं आती | मेरे लिए किसी भी स्त्री का मन उतना ही साफ़ है जितना कि हो सकता है | मेरे ख्याल से स्त्री को समझना बिल्कुल भी कठिन नहीं है , किंतु इसके लिए पुरूष को अपने अभिमान के दायरे से बाहर आना होगा | स्त्री को समझने का प्रयास इस जगत को नई आशाओं से भर देगा |

स्त्री के चरित्र को समझने के लिए संभवतः सबसे आवश्यक बात है पुरूष को स्त्री के गुणों जैसे ममता , दया और समर्पण के अनुरूप मानसिकता के स्तर को प्राप्त करना होगा | आज तक पुरूष ने कभी इस स्तर तक जाने का प्रयास सामाजिक रूप से नहीं किया इसीलिए आज भी समाज को " ढोल गंवार शूद्र पशु नारि , सकल ताड़न के अधिकारी |" जैसी मानसिकता ने अपनी चपेट में ले रखा है | अब वो समय आ गया है कि पुरूष अपने स्त्रैण गुणों को जागृत करे और ईश्वर कि इस सर्वश्रेष्ठ रचना से अपने साहचर्य को आनंद की पराकाष्ठा तक ले कर जाए |

मैंने अपनी पिछली पोस्ट में प्रश्न किया था कि " ईश्वर की सर्वश्रेष्ठ रचना कौन है ? स्त्री या पुरूष |" ||
इसके उत्तर में ढेरों नपी - तुली टिप्पणियाँ प्राप्त हुईं | मित्रों इतिहास में इस प्रश्न का उत्तर निम्न प्रकार से दर्ज है |

प्रत्येक धर्म के अनुसार ईश्वर ने सर्वप्रथम पुरूष को बनाया | ईश्वर भी इस बात को स्वीकार करते हैं | वस्तुतः पुरूष के निर्माण के बाद ईश्वर ने अपनी इस महान रचना को हर कसौटी पर परखा , उसे इस महान धरती पर भेजा | बहुत सी परीक्षाएं भी लीं और अंततः यह विचार किया कि ,

" मैं इससे भी अच्छा बना सकता हूँ | "

" फ़िर ईश्वर ने स्त्री बनाई | "

१९ नवम्बर , सन् १९७२ भारत के तत्कालीन राष्ट्रपति , स्व. वाराहगिरी वेंकटगिरी , दक्षिण अमेरिका के एक देश ब्राजील के दौरे पर होते हैं | उस दिन उन्हें ब्राजील के एक शहर सैल्वाडोर ( SALVADOR ) में एक विश्वविद्यालय के प्रेक्षागृह ( AUDITORIUM ) का उदघाटन करना था |

वहां के समारोह में श्री गिरी का परिचय उदघोषक ने कुछ इस प्रकार करवाया था |
" आज हमारे मुख्य अतिथि श्री वा. वे. गिरी ( राष्ट्रपति भारत देश ) जी हैं | आप सभी की जानकारी के लिए बता दें कि तीसरी दुनिया का एक प्राचीन देश भारत है जहाँ आज भी लाखों लोग गले में साँप लटकाए हुए नंगे घूमते हैं |भारत नदियों , पहाडों का वह देश है जिसमें अंधविश्वासों का बोलबाला है साधू एवं फ़कीर इस देश को चलाते हैं |महात्मा गाँधी नाम का व्यक्ति इस देश में हुआ था जिसने ब्रिटिश लोंगों से आज़ादी दिलाई थी | इनके देश में आज भी ५० % की जनसँख्या भूखी सोती है | यह देश विश्व बैंक के सबसे बड़े कर्ज़दार देशों में से है | "
( उपर्युक्त परिचय श्री गिरी के कार्यक्रम में सम्मिलित होने वाले आगंतुकों को सभा प्रारम्भ होने के ३० मिनट पूर्व दिया गया था | )

शायद आज हममें से कुछ लोग चौंक पड़ें , लेकिन तत्कालीन भारत की वही पहचान थी | अगर आज हमें भारत बदला हुआ दिखाई दे रहा है तो इसका श्रेय जाता है तीव्र औद्योगीकरण को , जिसके नायक थे स्व. धीरजलाल हीराचंद अम्बानी | स्वतंत्र भारत को अगर तेजी से विकास की रफ़्तार पर ले जाने का श्रेय किसी को जाता है तो वह व्यक्ति सिवाय धीरुभाई के कोई हो ही नहीं सकता | यह व्यक्ति ना सिर्फ़ भारत की औद्योगिक क्रांति का नायक बना बल्कि हर क्रांति के पुरोधा की तरह अपना सम्पूर्ण दर्शन भी हमारे सम्मुख छोड़ गया |

भारत अगर आज वाकई एक महाशक्ति बनना चाहता है तो हमें करोड़पतियों की एक ऐसी फौज चाहिए जो कि विकास चक्र को पर्याप्त मात्र में ईंधन उपलब्ध कराती रहे | आज की सृष्टि में तो इसका कोई विकल्प नहीं है |
जरा धीरुभाई के दर्शन को देखें कैसे वो हमें प्रेरित कर रहा है ?

धीरुभाई ने इस सिद्धांत को सबसे ज्यादा सफल बनाया कि हर धन्धे का बाप पकडो कारोबार अपने आप बढेगा |मतलब कि श्रृंखला की प्रथम कड़ी से मुनाफा बनाकर तुंरत अगली कड़ी को व्यवसाय में जोड़ लो , रिलायंस का ही उदहारण लें तो सबसे पहले पोलिस्टर बेचना , फ़िर उसे बनाना , फ़िर उसके धागे का विनिर्माण , फ़िर धागे की जरुरत के केमिकल का निर्माण , फ़िर केमिकल के स्त्रोत पेट्रोलियम की रिफायनरी की क्रमबद्ध श्रृंखला ने रिलायंस को आज कहाँ पंहुचा दिया |

दूसरा सिद्धांत था कि देशहित में मौजूदा सड़े हुए व्यावसायिक विधान को मानने का कोई मतलब नहीं | अम्बानी के तीव्र विकास का ही प्रतिफल था कि १९९१ में भारत को नेहरूवादी अर्थव्यवस्था से मुक्ति मिली | ( संदेह हो तो नियमों मसलन ( MRTP ACT 1969 ) के बदलाव में रिलायंस की भूमिका देखें |

तीसरी बात थी कि कारोबार में जितना कमाओ सामने वाले को उससे ज्यादा दो | आज १ करोड़ शेयर धारकों में से जिसने भी ५ साल से ज्यादा शेयर को रखा है उसे इस बात की सत्यता से कोई परहेज़ न होगा |

अंत में सबसे महत्वपूर्ण बात भारत के युवाओं को आत्मनिर्भरता का वो सपना देना जिससे विकास हमारी शर्तों पर हो न कि किसी और देश से नौकरी और गुलामी आयात करके | इसी सपने ने ' देश का श्रम देश के लिए ' की भावना बढाई और अन्य व्यापारिक दिशाओं पर तेजी से बढ़ते हुए उद्यमियों को प्रोत्साहित भी किया |

आज भारत को यदि आर्थिक महाशक्ति के रूप में उभरना है तो हमें आज ऐसे गुरुओं की आवश्यकता है जो की १००० धीरुभाई देश के लिए तैयार कर सकें |

कहते हैं कि विवाह सामाजिक रूप से एक समझौता होता है और व्यक्तिगत रूप से प्रेम के बंधन का सामाजिक स्वरुप | भारत में विवाह एक बहुत ही सम्मानजनक संविदा ( CONTRACT ) के रूप में मान्य है |

हर समझौते के लिए कुछ शर्तें आवश्यक होती हैं , फ़िर ये तो न सिर्फ़ दो व्यक्तियों बल्कि बहुत हद तक दो परिवारों एवं एक हद तक पूरे समाज को प्रभावित करने वाला समझौता है |

भारत का सामाजिक स्वरुप एवं विवाह के प्रति दृष्टिकोण भी विश्व के बहुत सारे देशों से न सिर्फ़ भिन्न है , बल्कि वैवाहिक रिश्तों कि परिणिति भी अलग प्रकार से व्यक्त होती है | ऐसे में संसार के बाकि हिस्सों में विवाह संबन्धी शर्तें अलग मान्यताओं पर आधारित हो सकती हैं |

मेरा यह प्रश्न है कि भारत में विवाह की सबसे प्रारंभिक एवं सामान्य शर्त कौन सी है ? जिसको पूर्ण करने या जिसके प्रति वचनबद्ध होने से विवाह को सामाजिक मान्यता प्राप्त हो जाती है ?

कृपया मेरा मार्गदर्शन करें .......................................!!!!
