Of the different issues regarding which our history-writing is seen adopting disturbing silence one is inclusive study in the Tribal-life . Only as to undo this shortcoming to an extent that the Hindi magazine, ‘Apna Sanchar’, published by Akhil Janajati Sanskruti Sanrakshan Samiti is before the readers. To get accustomed with Janjati community in the voices of its own savants and learned authors that the magazine gets to be in the role of just a bridge in nutshell. Looking into the last three issues so also makes the sense of it.
How the Gondi Language born out of divine sound or the Naad of Damru of Shanker Shambhu. That how according to Sanatana tradition that the festivals are integrated with the nature this comes true looking at ‘Sarhul’, Basant season, when ‘Sakhua’ tree is worshipped. ‘Sohrai’ is a five days-festival in which the animal stock is worshiped wishing all prosperity. Mother earth is worshipped before the crop sowed and thrashed. So in Diwali the ox being esteemed to be Nandi is worshipped and fed. According to the Puranas the Bheel community had for their origin Lord Shiva’s son, Nishad. Plenty of other instances that the magazine is replete with that corroborates the fact that Janjati people are Hindus as much as others are. It is therefore even Supreme Court mentions nowhere that Janjati Community is not Hindu, this the honorable district magistrate, Shrimati Rajni Prakash, make note of in her article in the magazine. So it is none other than Dr Ambedkar who says : ‘ The tribal community is closest to the India’s ancient civilization.’ They worship not the foreign God , but all that belong to their surroundings – the trees, animals, mountains and mother-earth. Munda tribal community holds Puri temple as its paternal temple. So do they worship basil plant, the oath of which initiated to them by Birsa Munda himself.
How with the spirit of ‘Janani Janambhoomi Swargadapi gariyasi’ ( The Land of birth is greater than the heaven) that Janjati community is integrated with , this writer justifies through the episodes of Ekalavya, Barbarik(Khatushyam) , Maharani Durgawati, Rana Punja Bheel, Bhagwan Birsa Munda and such other . So also, expounding the mantra ‘ Yatra naryastu pujayante , ramante tatra devta’ ( God makes abode where woman is worshipped) this is also told how in the shear Sanatana ethos that the family makes celebration in full festivity on the birth of the girl ; and , so also, parents are not forced to pay dowry .
So goes one through the foreign travellers Fayan , Huen Sang and others giving glorious account of medical -therapy; art of music; well developed judicial system ; scientific approach towards the conservation of environment and inclusive knowledge system prevalent in the community-life.
The conversion of Hindus through service-education-medical treatment has been one of the biggest threats that the country faced . To get into the real picture the first Chief minister of undivided Madhya Pradesh , Pandit Ravi Shanker Shukla formed the Niyogi Commission headed by the former Chief Justice of High Court ,Bhavani Shanker Niyogi, in 1954. And when the report tabled the country knew , ‘ The ultimate aim of the church is to sow the tendency of denationalization through the conversion.’ How disturbing is this that the 5% converted people are usurping as much as 60% of the total the benefits themselves alone. It was then only that Baba Kartik felt the need for initiating the ‘Delisting- Movement’. The article on this issue being described briefly in simple language makes it readable.
Truly written, an individual sitting firmly clasping a support may not think ahead of it. All the hopes pinned at the government jobs alone is to wasting away intrinsic skill and other available opportunities. The government jobs are reported to be just about 97 lacs. Whereas the jobs forthcoming from private sectors is the continuous process. Of course, here you gain recognition more from skilled led knowledge notably . In the games also that the opportunities could be traced for oneself. By the dint of her pace balling onslaught how Kranti Gond rose to the top of the Cricket that could be seen in the life-sketch drawn in the magazine.
The way the selection of the contents kept within the targeted limit in the magazine is adorable. At the level of the structure of write -up what is missing could also be undone henceforth . The guiding tips such as given in the ‘Rachnatmak Lekhan’: Bhartiya Gyanpeeth could be helpful : If thought expressed moulded in emotions embedded with the rhythm of life leaves far more lasting effect. The wastage of words should be avoided ; so in the language of a common man should the expression flow. Apart from what you write, avoiding to be didactive, if some is left for the reader to think himself makes the write-up small , inspiring the reader more to read the piece. In the time of social media laced with the reels that which is hurt most is the patience of an individual. As big is the content, so it is liable to be skipped – to learn it our own experience is enough before us. Besides, to tell more in the short it is what the allegory, instances and references could do probably nothing else could do . For this makes the reader see happening what he is reading before the eyes. This leads the write up to be appearing more authentic, as well. Newness or to tell what is remain untold so far is an ultimate aim of the written piece.
As for avoiding the repetition of what is already said that could be done at level of editing . Though writer could do that using unidentical sentence structures at his own level. Likewise, from the title also creativity should be reflected.
