परसों की ही तो बात है. राजकमल प्रकाशन का स्थापना दिवस समारोह था, उसमें भालचंद्र नेमाड़े को हिंदी में भारतीय संस्कृति की बहुवचनीयता पर बोलते हुए सुना तो मुझे पुरुषोत्तम अग्रवाल की कहानी ‘नाकोहस’ याद आई. अकारण नहीं था. मृदुला गर्ग ने उस कहानी के अपने दूसरे पाठ के बाद उसके ऊपर लिखते हुए लिखा था कि उसमें ‘भयंकर समय की पदचाप’ है. किसी भी रचना की प्रासंगिकता यही होती है कि वह अपने देशकाल से भिन्न देशकाल में आपको बेसाख्ता याद आ जाए. है न, मौका था जयंती का याद आ गई कहानी ‘नाकोहस’.
संयोग से एक दुस्वप्न से उचटी नींद से आरम्भ हुई इस कहानी की शुरुआत में एक ऐसे चौक का वर्णन आता है जहाँ मंदिर और मस्जिद का संयुक्त संस्करण है. गलियां संकरी जरूर हो गई हैं लेकिन वे उस तक पहुँचती हैं. अब भी पहुँचती हैं. उन्हीं गलियों में भय के संकेतक के साथ सुकेत की नींद खुल जाती है. उस दिन नेमाड़े कह रहे थे कि जिसे हम संस्कृति कहते हैं, परम्परा का नाम देते हैं वह दरअसल गलियों के सिकुड़ते जाने का नाम नहीं है बल्कि तमाम संकटों के बावजूद चौक तक आने वाले रास्तों का खुले, बने रहने का नाम है. कहानी ‘नाकोहस’ के आरम्भ में यह उम्मीद बाक़ी है. आखिर दुस्वप्न ही तो है.
कहानी का जहाँ अंत होता है वहां वह दुस्वप्न भयानक खबर में बदल चुका होता है. कहानी में सुकेत के दो दोस्तों रघु, जिसे ईसाई होने के बावजूद यह नाम दिया गया, बिना किसी परेशानी के, और खुर्शीद के ऊपर हमला हो चुका है. मगरमच्छ बड़े आराम से बीच सडक पर बैठा हाथी की टांगों को चबा रहा है. सबसे दुःख की बात यह है कि किसी पर कोई फर्क नहीं पड़ रहा है. सब कुछ हस्बे-मामूल चल रहा है. मुझे नेमाडे को सुनते हुए ‘नाकोहस’ इसलिए याद आई क्योंकि नेमाड़े ने अपने व्याख्यान में यह बताया था कि ‘पंचतंत्र’ की कहानियां देश में पांच हजार साल से सुनाई जाती रही हैं. ‘नाकोहस’ को पढ़ते हुए पहली बार मुझे ऐसा लगा था जैसे जॉर्ज ऑरवेल के उपन्यास ‘नाइंटीन एटी फोर’ को भारत के सबसे पुराने कथा रूपों में से एक ‘पंचतंत्र’ की कथा शैली में लिखा जा रहा हो. भय को निरुपित करने वाले रूपक में जंगल की कथाओं का घुलमिल जाना है. कहानी के इस रूपक का समय विष्णु पुराण में वर्णित गज-ग्राह की प्रसिद्ध कथा से भी किया जा सकता है. कथाकार शायद यह संकेतिक करना चाहता है कि सभ्यता बहुवचनीयता का ही नाम होता है. जब वह विखंडित होने लगती है तो सभ्यता के जंगल राज में बदलते देर नहीं लगती. ऐसा राज्य जहाँ कानून का नहीं भय का राज्य कायम होने लगता है. एक विभाजक राजनीतिक परिदृश्य में इस कहानी की प्रासंगिकता समझ में आती है.
दूसरे रूप में अगर हम इस कहानी को पढ़ें तो इसमें कहीं गहरे जो ट्रेजेडी छिपी हुई है वह यह है कि प्रतिरोध कम होता जा रहा है. मध्यवर्गीय समाज इसे देख रहा है, समझ रहा है मगर इससे आँखें चुराता हुआ अपने जीवन में मुब्तिला है. सामूहिकता के कुछ उदाहरणों को छोड़ दिया जाए तो वह खंडित होती गई. जब मिलना जुलना ही नहीं हो रहा है तो मेलजोल की संस्कृति कैसे बच पायेगी? वर्तमान राजनीतिक परिदृश्य की यह सबसे बड़ी चिंता है कि किस तरह उस प्रतिरोध भाव को जगाया जाए. जब तक प्रतिरोध रहेगा तब तक प्रतिरोध का यह भाव बचा रहेगा तभी तक हमारी सांस्कृतिक विशिष्टता की सम्भावना बनी रहेगी. एक शोकगीत सा इस कहानी के बैकग्राउंड में लगातार बजता रहता है- वायलिन की उदास धुन की तरह.
निश्चित रूप से पिछले साल की यह सबसे अधिक चर्चित कहानी रही. सोशल मीडिया पर इस कहानी को लेकर जो बहस चली वह ऐतिहासिक कही जा सकती है. जिनको यह आपत्ति रहती है कि सोशल मीडिया पर बहसें गंभीर नहीं होती तो उनको ‘नाकोहस’ को लेकर चली बहस को ध्यान से पढना चाहिए. उस बहस में मैं अब नहीं पड़ना चाहता हूँ लेकिन मुझे युवा आलोचक राकेश बिहारी द्वारा इस कहानी को आधार बनाकर लिखे गए लेख में यह लिखना आपत्तिजनक लगा कि इस कहानी में कहानीपन का अभाव है और विचारों की अधिकता. मैं पूरी विनम्रता के साथ यह कहना चाहता हूँ कि गल्प का अपने आपमें बना-बनाया कोई सांचा नहीं होता. बल्कि वह तो अपने आप में साहित्य की सबसे जनतांत्रिक विधा है. उसकी सबसे बड़ी खूबसूरती यही मानी जाती रही है कि उसमें लेखक जिस रूप में चाहे अपनी बात कह सकता है, प्रकट कर सकता है. कई बार सच को अधिक गहराई से दिखाने के लिए लेखक झूठ लगने वाली गल्पात्मक विधा का सहारा लेता है. कहानियों का इतिहास इसका गवाह है. मैं यहाँ कमलेश्वर की कहानी ‘जॉर्ज पंचम की नाक’ का उदहारण देना चाहता हूँ. कई बार लेखक प्रतीकात्मक रूप में अपनी बात रखना चाहता है, रूपकों में कथा कहना चाहता है.
बरसों में ऐसी वैचारिक कहानी मैंने हिंदी में नहीं पढ़ी जिसमें धर्मनिरपेक्षता को लेकर, सांस्कृतिक बहुलता को लेकर रूपक कथा के रूप में बहस चल रही हो. वैचारिकता का अभाव किस तरह अच्छी रचनात्मकता का सूचक हो सकती है यह बात मुझे समझ में नहीं आई. क्या ऐसी कोई रचना है भी जो श्रेष्ठ हो और वैचारिकता से शून्य भी हो. विचार ही रचनाओं को प्रासंगिक बनाए रखते हैं. दुर्भाग्य से उदयप्रकाश के ‘विक्टिम नायक’ फ़ॉर्मूले की छाया में लिखी गई कहानियों में सबसे अधिक जो बात रेखांकित की जा सकती है वह इसी विचार भाव का क्षय है. समकालीन कहानी गहरे रूप से समसामयिकता से ग्रस्त है. वह नितांत समसामयिकता में अवस्थित है. न वह अपनी परम्परा से संवाद बना पाती है न ही भविष्य की तरफ देख पाती है.
परम्परा की ‘गज-ग्राह’ की कथा को समकालीन फैंटेसी में उसी तरह से गुंधा गया है जिस तरह से 50 साल पहले मुक्तिबोध ने ‘अँधेरे में’ कविता का शिल्प बुना था. यह कहानी इसलिए भी रेखांकित किये जाने लायक है क्योंकि यह कहानी को महावृत्तान्त के बोझ से मुक्त करके आख्यान शिल्प में ढालने की कोशिश की तरह से लिखी गई है.
दुस्स्वप्न को यथार्थ में बदलने से बचाना है तो प्रतिरोध की भारतीय परम्परा को बचाए जाने की जरूरत है. कल नेमाड़े जी यही तो कह रहे थे. ‘नाकोहस’ कहानी यही तो कहती है. सभ्यता को विद्रूप होने से बचाना है तो इसे बचाना ही होगा- इस समय की सबसे बड़ी बौद्धिक चिंता यही तो है. पास्टर निमोलर की ये पंक्तियाँ कितनी प्रासंगिक लगने लगी हैं ‘नाकोहस’ के आलोक में-
‘पहले वे आये कम्युनिस्टों के लिए
और मैं कुछ नहीं बोला
क्योंकि मैं कम्युनिस्ट नहीं था।
फिर वे आये ट्रेड यूनियन वालों के लिए
और मैं कुछ नहीं बोला
क्योंकि मैं ट्रेड यूनियन में नहीं था।
फिर वे आये यहूदियों के लिए
और मैं कुछ नहीं बोला
क्योंकि मैं यहूदी नहीं था।
फिर वे मेरे लिए आये
और तब तक कोई नहीं बचा था
जो मेरे लिए बोलता।‘
28 फरवरी को मैं भालचंद्र नेमाड़े के व्याख्यान को सुनते हुए ‘नाकोहस’ को याद कर रहा था!

The Ninety credit college degree meets the lower bachelor college degree requirements so when you earn the associate of arts in BA online, you will get access to the modern technologies in this particular field.

Thanks for the tips you actually provide with your blog.
Thanks for the interesting things you have exposed in your blog post. One thing I’d prefer to comment on is that FSBO human relationships are built as time passes. By introducing yourself to owners the first few days their FSBO will be announced, ahead of masses commence calling on Wednesday, you create a good connection. By giving them methods, educational products, free reviews, and forms, you become an ally. By subtracting a personal affinity for them and also their problem, you create a solid relationship that, on many occasions, pays off once the owners opt with a broker they know in addition to trust – preferably you.

I’d personally also like to mention that most individuals that find themselves devoid of health insurance are generally students, self-employed and those that are unemployed. More than half of the uninsured are really under the age of 35. They do not really feel they are looking for health insurance as they are young plus healthy. Their income is frequently spent on housing, food, as well as entertainment. Many people that do go to work either 100 or not professional are not presented insurance via their jobs so they head out without owing to the rising cost of health insurance in the us. Thanks for the concepts you write about through this website.
Thanks for your handy post.

The condition may start within the chest vicinity and propagate to other body parts. Other symptoms of pleural mesothelioma include losing weight, severe inhaling trouble, nausea, difficulty eating, and irritation of the neck and face areas.

I have realized some important matters through your site post. One other stuff I would like to say is that there are many games out there designed mainly for preschool age little ones.

One thing I would really like to discuss is that weightloss system fast may be possible by the right diet and exercise. An individual’s size not merely affects appearance, but also the overall quality of life. Self-esteem, melancholy, health risks, along with physical capabilities are impacted in putting on weight. It is possible to do everything right but still gain. Should this happen, a condition may be the root cause. While a lot of food but not enough workout are usually the culprit, common health conditions and trusted prescriptions may greatly enhance size. Thanks a bunch for your post here.
Interesting blog post. Things i would like to bring up is that laptop memory is required to be purchased should your computer cannot cope with anything you do by using it. One can set up two RAM memory boards with 1GB each, for instance, but not one of 1GB and one of 2GB. One should look for the manufacturer’s documentation for own PC to make certain what type of memory is required.
I have noticed that repairing credit activity really needs to be conducted with techniques. If not, chances are you’ll find yourself destroying your rank. In order to be successful in fixing your credit history you have to make sure that from this moment in time you pay your complete monthly costs promptly in advance of their booked date. It is definitely significant on the grounds that by not really accomplishing so, all other methods that you will choose to use to improve your credit standing will not be powerful. Thanks for discussing your strategies.

Thanks for sharing your ideas. I’d also like to state that video games have been ever evolving. Modern technology and innovative developments have made it simpler to create genuine and enjoyable games. These kinds of entertainment games were not as sensible when the concept was first of all being used. Just like other designs of know-how, video games too have had to develop by many many years. This is testimony towards the fast development of video games.
I’ve learned new things by means of your web site. One other thing I’d really like to say is the fact that newer computer os’s are likely to allow extra memory to be utilized, but they in addition demand more ram simply to function. If an individual’s computer cannot handle much more memory and the newest application requires that ram increase, it usually is the time to shop for a new Laptop or computer. Thanks

One thing is one of the most widespread incentives for making use of your card is a cash-back or rebate present. Generally, you’ll have access to 1-5 back with various expenditures. Depending on the credit card, you may get 1 again on most expenses, and 5 again on expenses made at convenience stores, gasoline stations, grocery stores in addition to ‘member merchants’.

It’s my belief that mesothelioma will be the most fatal cancer. It’s got unusual traits. The more I look at it the more I am convinced it does not conduct itself like a real solid human cancer. If perhaps mesothelioma can be a rogue virus-like infection, therefore there is the prospects for developing a vaccine and offering vaccination to asbestos subjected people who are open to high risk with developing potential asbestos connected malignancies. Thanks for expressing your ideas on this important health issue.
I was suggested this blog by my cousin. I’m not sure whether this post is written by him as no one else know such detailed about my problem. You are amazing! Thanks!
Thank you for the auspicious writeup. It in fact was a amusement account it. Look advanced to more added agreeable from you! However, how can we communicate?
That is the appropriate weblog for anyone who wants to seek out out about this topic. You understand so much its nearly arduous to argue with you (not that I truly would want?HaHa). You undoubtedly put a brand new spin on a topic thats been written about for years. Great stuff, just nice!
Yet another issue is that video games are typically serious as the name indicated with the major focus on mastering rather than amusement. Although, we have an entertainment element to keep children engaged, each and every game will likely be designed to develop a specific skill set or area, such as math concepts or research. Thanks for your publication.
