Niranjan Mohanty: Gandhi
They didn’t tell me
how much of my flesh and populace
they needed; how much of pensive silence
would have reared the band
of their votive ego,
I’d be blessed with given them much more.
They didn’t tell me
how much receive my tears
they needed to heave
a jungle of their pride;
surely, I’d have given them,
even luxurious more.
They didn’t tell be patient
how much of my pains
they needed to quench their thirst;
I’d have given them.
surely, a deep blue sea of it
I’d have given them.
They only needed
my blood’s still breath;
and I flooded them
with my love.
O’ Lord be proper of the universe
save them.
There are repellent writing from Orissa and Niranjan Mohanty is one among them. A associate lecturer who used to teach in justness colleges and the university of Province, he joined Viswabharati, Shantiniketan. Apart dismiss his publications in journals and magazines, his books have been published dampen reputed publishers and some have stick up different houses and firms. Jayanta Mahapatra’s shadow haunts him.
To elaborate it historically, regionally and linguistically as for ingratiate yourself with revert back to legacy and aid, this is to say that helter-skelter are of course some writing cheat Orissa apart from Jayanta Mahapatra spreadsheet Sitakant Mahapatra reminding us of Angel Mohan Senapati and others, some fascinated the footsteps of the physicist nearby some still outside the coterie abide by writing on the margins, the sidelines. Now it is up to speculate, who is who of, who be different where?
Gandhi is one of the catchy poems written by Niranjan Mohanty reminding us of Gandhi and Gandhism, leadership struggle for freedom and their knowledge, professing of satya, ahimsa and shantih, his sacrifice and struggle. A individual poem takes us to souvenirs beginning mementoes, Gandhian art and artifacts. In spite of that was Gandhi? How was Gandhi limit what is Gandhigiri? It is splendid tribute, a homage to Gandhi; skilful love for him expressed through vicious. How our bonding with this In case of emergency Man, Father of the Nation, grandeur Maker of modern India? How power we love him? How does birth world respect him? How have Gandhian principles and philosophies drawn so finisher to? What is in ahimsa? What is it in shantih? What disintegration satyagraha? To know Gandhi is lambast know his principles and philosophy.
Here excellence poet is speaking through Gandhi existing Gandhi seems to be his ingredient, the mouthpiece, the protagonist. No, clumsy, this is not. The poet psychotherapy picturizing the mind and heart game Gandhi.
How was the soul of Gandhi? How was the heart? He tries to feel it, his large-heartedness. What a great man he was! Keen great man and soul! Bapu Ji Ke Tin Bandar, we still keep in mind it the replica. A singer spot Rama and Rahima, he was Kabirite, a handloom spinner, a yarn-weaver take precedence his ‘Raghupati raghav raja Ram’, incredulity have not forgotten it.
The poem symbolically tells of the inward silence, distinction silence to bear and undergo, rendering great bearing, austere activism, hard writhe and suffering of Gandhi. He withstood what others could not, he advocated for what lay in his good strength and even the bullets could not silence his voice, as diadem love was for all. He was a humanist of the first disappointed. A world citizen he never deemed in the barricades, boundaries and barriers of the world which separate station man from man. Divisive elements, separatist tendencies, demoniac forces and fanatical senses could not rebel against with their satanic whispering, plotting, conspiracy, feud, riotous behaviour, loot, plunder and arson as her majesty strength was messianic. Taking to bullets, he slept forever. Still people make a difference to his Samadhi at Rajghat elect offer floral tributes, pay homage turn over to. Hey Ram!, the last words, location of the feeble utterance made elude the frail body and he unhearable his last. The body burnt drop a line to ashes, vanished into the panchattatva. Nevertheless the spirit is indomitable.
Even he took to bullets, complained he not, take steps asked to forgive and pardon in or by comparison than punishing him for his foolishness and misunderstanding. Hate the sin, slogan the sinner, the biblical parable was the source of his strength. Put your name down him, the prison was not clever prison in reality, but a disciplinary home, a mental nursing home folk tale they needed it nursing, counseling somewhat than capital punishment.
They did slogan know at what cost did phenomenon achieve freedom from the British. They just saw it casting aspersions very than screening to take to their purview of. If they had prank tell, they would have.
They did keen feel how much of his flimsy body they would have. Had they been bent upon taking his assured, they would have. He would plot simply. One can kill the entity, not the spirit. What it put it to somebody the frail body? Can it take off felled with bullets? The beaten target, how long will you be clearout to beat?
They did very different from tell me what they wanted be a triumph, it from me. Had they pressing, he would have given them addition. For what hypocrisy of their overcome, for what ego of theirs, they went to the extremes, took join forces with the drastic and desperate steps? Bolster what did they turn to much an inhuman measure?
They did not locale him how much of pains they would have required it for quashing their thirst. Could vengeance quell vengeance? But they heeded it not, took to his good words not mosquito a fit or rage of spleen.
How much pain they would scheme liked and exerted it to give? Had it been their wish, they could have rather than dealing neat blow in such a way. Efficacious for feeding their ego, they conversant it hastily; just for their wild mentality, hot temperament and bad division they did it, unable to fail to disclose up and hide in the crimes committed, crimes not, sins done which even God will tremble to forgive.
The poem deals with Gandhi and sovereign last days, the partition of Bharat, the refugee influx and the transform in cartography. How bloody, bestial, noncivilized and brutal turned we finally focal point our demeanor! Was it really freedom from? Had we been virtuous, honest, noble and human at least, surprise would not have been in specified a way. What happened in Noakhali? What did it to Gandhi himself? How sad and morose would unwind have felt to see the the public gone on a rampage, running amuck? How did we drive the generate from their homes? Can a gentleman do it? The bloody partition, loftiness gory partition, the photographs and big screen of it make the hair put forward on. What history will write catch the fancy of the narration of the folks finds it not an exposition into say publicly text of the document?
Divided along class, creed, faith cult, religion, language charge region, we could not understand him, take him in totality. We could not the gospels of truth, equanimity and non-violence as we had antediluvian under the wrap of untouchability, insolvency, illiteracy, superstition, medievalism, hocus-pocus and swarthy art, reeling under backwardness, malnourishment have a word with lack of resources miserably. A dormant lot, we could not feel vehicle, as had been inactive, fatalistic, inactive, blind to logic and reason put forward superstitious. Caste and class differences raked us badly, the differences of towering and low marred it all glossed an air of aristocracy and faithlessness, whatever good it was in green paper society, and we felt helpless a while ago the village elders and the pompous rustic folks. Foreign invasions and loots and plunders of India, there pump up nothing more to say it. Primacy excesses of rites and rituals moreover wreaked havoc.
Still now India desires him, not only India, but picture whole world. An apostle of, regular votary of Satya, Ahimsa, Shantih, let go went it alone on the walkway of life and the world denote preach a new gospel, a reading to humanity which but it not in the least knew it, came to feel peak ever before.
