lesson-2 Bharat Is My Home – Zakir Hussain
Dr. Zakir Hussain in his speech pledges himself to the loyalty on our past culture. He also pledges his loyalty to his country. He promises to work for the welfare of its people without distinction of cast, colour and creed. He further says “The whole of Bharat” is may “home and its people are my family”. He pledges to make his home. (Bharat) strong and beautiful. The people will lead a prosperous and graceful life. Since our family is big we will have to labour hard. Each of us shall have to participate in building new life of the nature. He Says that the situation demands that we should work more and more. Our work should be silent, sincere, solid and steady.
According to the author there are two aspects of work—individual and social. A man should work for his personal requirements. A person should be free to develop his personal, physical and moral values under strict discipline.
But an individual can not grow in full perfection without the help of society. So, individual and society are co-related and interdependent.
At last the author says that our state will not be just an organization of power, but a moral organisation. To Mahatma Gandhi, state power or individual power should be used only for moral purposes. The author promises to devote his time to the welfare of the people of Bharat.
यह अनुच्छेद “भारत मेरा घर है” डॉ. जाकिर हुसैन का एक भाषण का अंश है। राष्ट्रपति पद की शपथ लेने के बाद 1967 ई० में उन्होंने अपना यह भाषण दिया था। इस भाषण में उन्होंने भारतीय संस्कृति के सर्वांगीण विकास हेतु अपना वचन दिया है।
अपने भाषण में उन्होंने कहा कि राष्ट्रपति का यह पद हमने पूरी मानवता की भावना एवं पूर्ण निष्ठा के साथ संभाला है। वे भारतीय संविधान के प्रति निष्ठाभाव रहेंगे। वे पूर्ण मूल्यों के प्रति अपनी सेवा की प्रतिज्ञा करते हैं। अपने भाषण में उन्होंने राष्ट्रीय संस्कृति एवं राष्ट्रीय चरित्र के महत्वों पर जोर दिया है। उनके अनुसार हमारी प्राचीन संस्कृति मृत एवं स्थिर नहीं है, बल्कि जीवित एवं गतिमान है। हमारी पुरानी संस्कृति वर्तमान एवं भविष्य की संस्कृति का आधार है।
डॉ. जाकि हुसैन ने अपने भाषण में अपनी पुरानी संस्कृति के प्रति कृतज्ञता की वचनबद्धता दर्शायी है। उन्होंने अपने देश के प्रति भक्ति भव की प्रबिद्धता भी दुहराई है। किसी जाति, मजहब एवं नस्ल के भेदभाव के बिना उन्होंने जनता के कल्याण के लिए कार्य करने की प्रतिज्ञा की है। वे आगे कहते हैं कि “सम्पूर्ण भारत मेरा घर है और इसके लोग मेरा परिवार है।” वे अपने घर को मजबूत एवं सुन्दर बनाने की प्रतिबद्धता दर्शाते हैं। लोग सफल एवं सुन्दर जीवन बितायेंगे।
चूँकि हमारा परिवार बड़ा है, अत: हमें कठिन परिश्रम करना होगा। राष्ट्र के नये जीवन-निर्माण में हमें अपना हाथ बंटाना होगा। स्थितियों की मांग है कि हमें अधिक-से-अधिक कार्य करने होंगे। हमारे कार्य शांत, तत्पर, ठोस एवं नियमित होने चाहिए।
लेखक के अनुसार कार्य के दो पहलू हैं-व्यक्तिगत एवं सामाजिक । मनुष्य को अपनी व्यक्तिगत जरूरतों की पूर्ति हेतु कार्य करना चाहिए। कड़े अनुशासन के बीच व्यक्ति को अपने वैयक्तिक, शारीरिक, एवं नैतिक मूल्यों का विकास करना चाहिए। लेकिन व्यक्ति समाज की सहायता के बिना अपना पूरा विकास सम्भव नहीं कर सकता।
अतः व्यक्ति और समाज एक दूसरे से जुड़े हुए हैं एवं एक-दूसरे पर निर्भर हैं। अंत में लेखक का कहना है कि हमारा राज्य मात्र शक्ति का संगठन नहीं है, बल्कि एक नैतिक संगठन भी है। महात्मा गाँधी का कहना है कि राज्य शक्ति एवं व्यक्ति की शक्ति का उपयोग केवल नैतिक मूल्यों की रक्षा के लिए होना चाहिए । लेखक भारत के लोगों के विकास हेतु अपना समय देने की प्रतिज्ञा करता है।
