प्रेम से बोलिए, एंटी करप्शन मूवमेंट स्वाहा – DILIP C MANDAL

By Dilip -
अब ऊपर मोदी और नीचे केजरीवाल हैं और इस समय भारतीय जेलों में कौन कौन से भ्रष्टाचारी बंद हैं, आप बताएं. रॉबर्ट वाड्रा या शीला दीक्षित या कोई उद्योगपति या कोई बड़ा अफसर? कौन है जेल में?
वहीं,
मनमोहन ने राज चाहे जैसा चलाया, लेकिन उनके समय में जो करप्शन में जेल गए, उनमें कुछ नाम ये हैं:
सुरेश कलमाडी
ए राजा
कनिमोई
ललित भनोट
ए. के. मट्टू
सार्थक बेहूरिया
आर के चंडोलिया
संजय चंद्रा
गौतम दोशी
हरि नायर
विनोद गोयनका
शाहिद बलवा
करीम मोरानी
रशीद मसूद....
और राज्यों के मामलों में जेल जाने वालों का हिसाब इसमें नहीं है. मतलब कि केंद्र में कैंबिनेट मंत्री से लेकर सेक्रेटरी लेबल के अफसर और सबसे बड़ी सहयोगी पार्टी की नेता से लेकर यूनिटेक जैसी उस समय की भारी कंपनी के मालिक तक जेल गए. बिना लोकपाल के प्रपंच के ही जेल गए. कानून ने जेल भेजा.
इन दोनों के नकारेपन में, मनमोहन जैसा करप्शन का सरताज भी संत दिखने लगा है. मनमोहन के समय जेल जाने का डर तो होता था. आज है क्या?

- केंद्रीय मंत्री तिहाड़ में
- देश के सबसे बड़े खेल प्रशासक और सत्ताधारी पार्टी के सांसद जेल गए
- देश की सबसे बड़ी रियल एस्टेट कंपनी में से एक के मालिक तिहाड़ में
- शीर्ष नौकरशाह जेल में.
- सत्ता पक्ष की दूसरी सबसे बड़ी पार्टी की नेता जेल में
- देश की सबसे बड़ी फाइनैंस कंपनी में से एक के मुखिया तिहाड़ में
तथाकथित भ्रष्टाचार विरोधी आंदोलन की सफलता के बाद और ऊपर मोदी और नीचे केजरीवाल के आने के बाद अब तो ऐसी कोई हेडलाइंस यानी शीर्षक नहीं सुनते आप? इसका दो ही मतलब है:
1. या तो देश से भ्रष्टाचार खत्म हो चुका है और पिछली सरकार का भी कोई भ्रष्टाचार पेंडिंग नहीं है.
2. नई सरकार भ्रष्टाचार से लड़ने में पिछली सरकार से भी ज्यादा निकम्मी और निठल्ली है या फिर करप्शन में उसके हाथ भी सने हुए हैं.

ऊपर मोदी है,
नीचे केजरीवाल है.
भ्रष्टाचार मुक्त जंबूद्वीप में जनता प्रसन्न है.
देश के भ्रष्ट नेता-अफसर-उद्योगपति बोरिया विस्तर बांधकर देश से प्रस्थान कर चुके हैं.
जिन्होंने मनमोहन राज में करप्शन किया था, वे सारा भ्रष्ट धन रिजर्व बैंक में जमा कर चुके हैं.

Haruki Murakami: On seeing the 100% perfect girl one beautiful April morning

By Dilip -
According to Murakami, “1Q84” is just an amplification of one of his most popular short stories,   which (in its English version) is five pages long. “Basically, it’s the same,” he told me. “A boy meets a girl. They have separated and are looking for each other. It’s a simple story. I just made it long.” One beautiful April morning, on a narrow side street in Tokyo's fashionable Harujuku neighborhood, I walked past the 100% perfect girl. Tell you the truth, she's not that good-looking. She doesn't stand out in any way. Her clothes are nothing special. The back of her hair is still bent out of shape from sleep. She isn't young, either - must be near thirty, not even close to a "girl," properly speaking. But still, I know from fifty yards away: She's the 100% perfect girl for me. The moment I see her, there's a rumbling in my chest, and my mouth is as dry as a desert..." read the story: http://www.youmightfindyourself.com/post/22131227...

Albert Camus's lecture 'The Human Crisis', New York, March 1946. 'No cause justifies the murder of innocents'

By Dilip -
The morning after a great historical crisis, you feel as sad and sick as after a heavy night. But there is no aspirin for historical hangovers .. The world is no longer divided into the just or unjust, but into masters and slaves. He who is right is he who enslaves.  Albert Camus     La crise de l'homme : THE HUMAN CRISIS   (Text read by Viggo Mortensen on March 28 2016)   Ladies and Gentlemen: when I was invited to give a series of lectures in the United States of America, I felt some doubt and hesitation. I am really not old enough to give lectures, and I am more at ease with the process of thinking than I am making categorical statements... since I don't feel I have any claim on what is generally called the truth. I shared this reservation and was very politely told that my personal opinion didn't matter. What mattered was that I'd be able to offer some facts about France so that my listeners could form their own opinions. It was then suggested...

The Almond Trees by Albert Camus (1940)

By Dilip -
Image
'Do you know', Napoleon once said to Fontanes, 'what astounds me most about the world?  The impotence of force to establish anything.  There are only two powers in the world: the sword and the mind.  In the end, the sword is always conquered by the mind' Conquerors, you see, are sometimes melancholy.  They have to pay some price for so much vainglory. But what a hundred years ago was true of the sword is no longer true today of the tank. Conquerors have made progress, and the dismal silence of places without intelligence has been established for years at a time in a lacerated Europe. At the time of the hideous wars of Flanders, Dutch painters could still perhaps paint the cockerels in their farmyards. The Hundred Years War has likewise been forgotten, and yet the prayers of Silesian mystics still linger in some hearts. But today, things have changed; the painter and the monk have been drafted - we are one with the world.  The mind has lost that regal certai...

James Gilligan on Shame, Guilt and Violence

By Dilip -
Shame, Guilt, and Violence / James Gilligan During the past 35 years I have used prisons and prison mental hospitals as "laboratories" in which to investigate the causes and prevention of the various forms of violence and the relationships between these forms and to what I will call (with a nod to William James) "the varieties of moral experience." In the course of that work, I have been struck by the frequency with which I received the same answer when I asked prisoners, or mental patients, why they assaulted or even killed someone. Time after time, they would reply "because he disrespected me" or "he disrespected my visitor [or wife, mother, sister, girl-friend, daughter, etc.]." In fact, they used that phrase so often that they abbreviated it into the slang phrase, "He dis'ed me." Whenever people use a word so often that they abbreviate it, it is clearly central to their moral and emotional vocabulary. But even when they did n...

By Dilip -
NB: Etel Adnan, writer, poet, artist and musician was born in 1925 and raised in Beirut, Lebanon. Her mother was a Greek from Smyrna, her father, a high ranking Ottoman officer born in Damascus. This prose poem is the final chapter of her book  In the Heart of the Heart of Another Country .  Read more about her here  - DS To Be In A Time Of War To say nothing, do nothing, mark time, to bend, to straighten up, to blame oneself, to stand, to go toward the window, to change one’s mind in the process, to return to one’s chair, to stand again, to go to the bathroom, to close the door, to then open the door, to go to the kitchen, to not eat nor drink, to return to the table, to be bored, to take a few steps on the rug, to come close to the chimney, to look at it, to find it dull, to turn left until the main door, to come back to the room, to hesitate, to go on, just a bit, a trifle, to stop, to pull the right side of the curtain, then the other side, ...

After the Truth Shower

By Dilip -
Dear Readers Thank you for reading my blog for the past eleven years. (This is a link to the new one) During this time it has had nearly 1.7 million hits; and I have posted over 9500 posts covering a variety of themes. From July 11 to 19, 2022, my blog was withdrawn by the Blogger administration on account of what its machinery suspected to be 'Impersonation'. It took over a week and the efforts of several well-wishers to get it back online I thank them all for their kindness and goodwill  My blog has always been - and remains - non-commercial. I have used it for academic purposes; and to foster a culture of debate and informed commentary in civil society. Because it contains a large amount of material gathered and collated for over a decade, I cannot afford to lose its contents. I hope it will remain undisturbed now and function as an archive. However, I have decided to use a new blog on WordPress as a platform for my newest comments and posts The new blog is titled After the...

The Republic of Silence – Jean-Paul Sartre on The Aftermath of War and Occupation (September 1944)

By Dilip -
Total responsibility in total solitude – is this not the very definition of our liberty? Jean-Paul Sartre was one of the most important philosophers and writers of the 20th century. He lived through World War II first as a French prisoner of war, then as a professor of philosophy associated with the underground socialist movement. Sartre writes of the Occupation: “Because the Nazi venom seeped into our very thoughts, every accurate thought was a triumph. Because an all-power police force tried to gag us, every word became precious as a declaration of principle.” Some of Sartre’s post-war writings have recently been collected in an English Language edition as  The Aftermath of War  and is published by Seagull Books, Kolkata. The Republic of Silence ( Lettres francaises , September 1944) We were never more free than during the German occupation. We had lost all our rights, beginning with the right to talk. Every day we were insulted to our faces and had to take ...
