Being A Rebel

रुक जायेगी ज़िन्दगी उस दिन, संतुष्ट हो गया मैं अपने से और अपने आप से जिस दिन. क्षुब्ध हूँ निराश हूँ तो जीवित मेरी प्यास है भूखों-नंगो के दुखों से आहत हूँ तो कुछ कर गुजरने की आस है प्रश्न आते रहेंगे, उत्तर खोजता रहूँगा सारे उत्तर मिल गए जिस दिन नए प्रश्न सोचूंगा उस दिन। २१ सितम्बर २००९ © अमित Amit

तेरा वैभव अमर रहे माँ , हम दिन चार रहें न रहें .. - अमित श्रीवास्तव ( चित्र : webduna से साभार )

उगते सूरज को शीश नवाते हैं जिससे कुछ मिल जाए, उसकी गाते हैं. जो अस्त होता है उसे चिढ़ाते है. सत्य क्या और नैतिकता क्या, जो सत्तासीन है उसकी सब गातें हैं यह अब सर्वमान्य नियम है, काम हो तो सब भातें हैं. समाज कि क्या यही नियति है? कि जिसके दिन हैं उसकी रातें हैं?! ध्यान दें, यहाँ सब चलता है, शेष तो कहने सुनने कि बातें हैं। ९ अगस्त २००९ © अमित Amit

Gay rights are okay. But what about the implications for others. But one has to wonder at the extreme jubilation when gay communities and couples were in many cases perfectly accommodated prior to this ruling.. Following the recent Delhi High Court decision doing away with Section 377, homosexuals erupted into celebrations. However the different sections of society reacted on different lines with perhaps the sharpest reaction coming from Muslims clerics. Though, this decision is certainly a step ahead in individual liberty, there is a need to understand all aspects of this whole episode. So-called page three personalities, self-proclaimed progressives, media people and attention seekers rallied behind homosexuals. But one has to wonder at the extreme jubilation when gay communities and couples were in many cases perfectly accommodated and faced few legal problems, prior to this particular judgement. We need to examine another aspect of this current mood of gay-ism. Many gays and their ...

by Amit Srivastava Abstract The sectarian politics is known as communal politics in south Asia, particularly in India. The division of colonial India and two nation theory was the greatest outcome of such politics. After independence, there has been a significant rise in the communal politics to consolidate votes by various political parties. In early nineties, a political party became a major political power using such tactics . Divide and rule on the basis of caste was the formula used by the several caste leaders. The new equations were established and these also instigated the tendency of forming regional parties based on regional and caste chauvinism. The number of such regional and caste based parties grew substantially during last decade hence there was a need of new caste combination. Beside this, the larger and sharper segregation was based on religion. The study attempts to assess the new elevations in communal politics in India. The finer nuances of public opinion ...

Hail Democracy! Long live the democratic rights!!... Down with suppression and dictatorship of fundamentalists! It was largest gathering in last 30 years... to defend the democracy and to oppose the fraud of fundamentalist govt.
