महात्मा की खाल ओढ़े ऐक भेड़िये का सच!!

मनु बेन के आइने में गांधी:

मनु बेन महात्मा गाँधी के अंतिम वर्षों की निकट सहयोगी थीं। मनु को प्रायः गाँधीजी की पौत्री कहा जाता है। वास्तव में यह रिश्ता बहुत दूर का था। वह गाँधीजी के चाचा की प्रपौत्री थी।

👇👇

लगभग अशिक्षित, सोलह-सत्रह वर्ष की लड़की, जिस के पिता जयसुखलाल गाँधी एक लाचार से साधारण व्यक्ति थे। उसी मनु को लेकर गाँधी के ‘ब्रह्मचर्य प्रयोग’ न केवल गाँधी के जीवन के अंतिम प्रयोग हैं, बल्कि सर्वाधिक विवादास्पद भी।

👇👇

गाँधी की जिद और उन के परिवार व निकट सहयोगियों के विरोध का यह दौर 1946-1947 ई. के दौरान कई महीने चला। इस पर गाँधी से उन के पुत्र देवदास तथा सरदार पटेल, किशोरलाल, नरहरि, आदि सहयोगियों ने गाँधी से आंशिक/ पूर्ण संबंध-विच्छेद तक कर लिया था।

👇👇

जिन लोगों ने तीखा विरोध किया उन में ठक्कर बापा, बिनोबा भावे, घनश्याम दास बिड़ला, आदि भी थे। आजादी से पहले एक बार सरदार पटेल ने सार्वजनिक रूप से कहा था कि गांधी जी के ब्रह्मचर्य के ये प्रयोग बन्द कर दिए जाने चाहिए। परन्तु नेहरू ने कभी इन प्रयोगों पर प्रश्न नही उठाया।

👇👇

शायद इसी कारण सरदार पटेल को प्रधानमंत्री नही बन सके। सरदार वल्लभ भाई पटेल ने 25 जनवरी 1947 को गांधी जी को पत्र लिखा था, जिसमें उनके प्रयोग को भयंकर भूल बताते हुए उसे रोकने को कहा था। पटेल ने लिखा था कि ऐसे प्रयोग से उनके अनुयायियों को गहरी पीड़ा होती है।

Impressed by his game, Adolf Hitler offered him German citizenship & the rank of a Colonel in the German Military which he blatantly declined, saying : “I eat of India & I will stay loyal to my country.” He practiced in the moonlight, giving him the name ‘Chand’, i.e. the moon.

His marvellous games forced the Netherland officials to break his hockey stick to see if there was a magnet inside. Vienna, Austria has a statue of Dhyan Chand with 4 hands & 4 hockey sticks depicting his mastery over the game. @SanjeevSanskrit

IT WAS RISHI KANADA WHO GAVE THE ATOMIC THEORY & TALKED ABOUT THE GRAVITY OF EARTH, 2600 YEARS BEFORE AN APPLE FELL IN FRONT OF NEWTON'S EYES:

Scientists of the modern world credit an English scientist John Dalton (1766 CE -1844 CE) for the Atomic Theory.

And this is because, most of us are not even aware of an ancient Indian Sage named Kanada, who was the first to formulate the theory of atoms, almost 2600 yrs before Dalton and talk about earth's gravity.

Rishi Kanada was born around 600 BCE in Dwarka, Gujarat and he was the son of a philosopher named Ulka. He was fascinated with the minute detailing of the things right from his childhood. Once, when he was very young, he accompanied his father on a journey to Prayaga.

He saw plentiful grains scattered along the path leading to the shore of river Ganga. It's a tradition in Hindu families to scatter the grains for the ants and birds to feed on them. Suddenly, an ant caught his attention, who was feeding on a rice grain.

He was mesmerised by this very fact that how a small grain of rice becomes food for the ant but to satisfy the hunger of a person so many grains are needed together. This incidence made him realize the importance of a single grain of rice.

This is my son, Sam. He’s 5. And today he learned how shitty and harmful #ToxicMasculinity is. My rage meter is spiking right now so excuse me if this is a little raw but there are some things I want to say about BS #gender norms (a thread)

Sam is my middle child & he’s a terror. A “boy’s boy” as so many (not me) would say. He’s rough and tumble, he’s loud, he’s always dirty, loves trucks, plays sports and knee drops me from the couch. But he also loves a lot of “girl” things.

Sam has a collection of purses because he likes to carry things around. And he also loves to have his nails painted bright colors because he thinks they “look beautiful.” And he’s right – they are beautiful…

So he proudly wore his red nail polish to kindergarten this morning because Sam has absolutely no concept of nail polish only being for girls or reason to think anyone would possibly have a problem with beautiful nails.

But his classmates did have a problem. A big one. Sam was ridiculed for being a boy with nail polish. They called him names and told him to take it off. This lasted the entire day.
