Osama bin Laden- just some thoughts.


Though Laden’s death was answer to many questions, it surely has generated more questions for the word community.

First of all, how Laden became so much powerful a man and became most wanted? Certainly in his early days, he had assistance and aid of some ‘great’ nations, who for their own benefit and selfish motives nurtured him. They may give it a sophisticated name of ‘balance of power’, but surely it was more than that. Osama was used in the cold-war.

Osama’s organization carried out some attacks on US and some on the soils of other nations. The devastating attack flabbergasted the US. It killed thousands of innocents from different religions, different countries. Such heinous act had neither reasoning nor justification. And after this 9/11, US avidly searched for the mastermind – The Osama.

Many term it as a crusade or tussle between two religions – Christianity and Islam. I see point in it. Though economic, national and political interests are embedded in this ‘war on terror’, we cannot overlook religious aspect of it; rather religious fanaticism. US had certainly waited patiently to kill Osama. It is very difficult to believe that US could not trace Osama for ten years. On the one hand, a person – who controls such a big organization, supplies own videos, speeches to broadcast worldwide, remains head of the organization without any evident rebellion – and on the other – a mighty nation, powerful military intelligence, satellites’ network which can trace an inch of the Earth, military bases in Af-Pak and what not?

Hence a strong case exists to believe that, US also feared the eruption of religious tussle between Christendom and Islamic camp. Infact Bush administration had miserably increased the rift and conflict. The challenge before Obama Govt was to diminish this feeling of hatred, enmity and hostility. Therefore, his first ever official visit, after assuming office of the President, was to Egypt. He gave solace and confidence to Muslim world, that US is not an enemy of Islam in general.

US carried out the strike at right time. In these ten years i.e. from 2002 to 2011, US passed through a phase of recession. Also it used this period to pacify the Islamic world. It might have staged and directed the revolts and mutinies in countries like Egypt, Tunisia, Syria, Yemen, etc. to keep their rulers engaged in their own affairs of disorderly states. Thereby US ruled out the possibility of these States coming together and opening up a ‘united camp’ that was anti-US. The turmoil and turbulence in the Islamic world ensured that Osama’s death won’t have instant serious repercussions.

Pakistan had no idea of Osama hideout on its soil is unconvincing. A bungalow so near to Pak Military Academy, having barbed wire fencing and standing alone with 8 times higher walls than average height in the surrounding area! Only thing is that, Pakistan could not have envisaged its step-father coming down upon it so heavily and dramatically.

US very cleverly pushed the dead body into the sea. But there is room to believe that US might have pushed something else, resembling Osama’s body and took the real body homewards to examine and investigate more.

Al-Qaida and Taliban have surely received a jerk. But nobody can ensure the world community that terrorist activities will end. Infact, we fear to see more conspiracies, attacks and destruction in coming days.

Should we be talking about ‘human rights’ of Bin Laden? The basic concept of human rights believes that these rights are acquired by a person simply because he is a human being. As soon as he/she is born, acquires human rights. But can there be a thought that, a person who is gross violator of human rights of others and does inhuman acts knowingly for continued prolonged period becomes ineligible to claim its own? Will he lose them? Otherwise, fanatics, extremists, communists-naxalites will claim the protection of shield of human Rights after violating that of others. This is happening in Bharat.

We congratulate US for not making an issue of Laden’s human rights. Such demonic creatures should be thrashed and destroyed to safeguard humanity. Laden received what he deserved.

नाम गुम जायेगा !

आपल्या देशात कशावरूनही राजकारण होऊ शकते. अगदी नावांवरुनही ! विविध ठिकाणं, रस्ते, उद्यानं, उड्डाणपूल, योजना, सवलती, शाळा-कॉलेजे अशा सर्व ठिकाणी नाव ठेवण्यावरून बरेचदा राजकारणच होताना दिसते.

मध्यंतरी एक खेदजनक अनुभव आला. एका वस्तीमध्ये सेवाकार्य सुरु करायचे होते. साहजिकच विषय आला नाव काय ठेवायचे? कोणातरी महापुरुषाचे, राष्ट्रपुरुषाचे (महान स्त्रिया अंतर्भूत) ठेवायला हवे. पण जसजशी नावे सुचत गेली तसतसे लक्षात आले की प्रत्येक नावाला कोणा ना कोणाचा विरोध, असंमती होऊ शकते. उदा. गांधीजी – प्रचंड वादाचा विषय, तथाकथित हिंदुत्ववादी नाके मुरडणार, स्वा. सावरकर – तथाकथित सहिष्णु गांधीवादी विरोध करणार, डॉ. आंबेडकर – सवर्ण आणि तथाकथित उच्चभ्रू समाज फिरकणार सुद्धा नाही, शिवाजी महाराज – यांच्या नावे आधीच प्रचंड राजकारण झाले आहे, शिवाय हा ठराविक पक्षाचा कार्यक्रम वाटेल. असं करता करता जाणवलं की आपल्या देशातल्या या महान विभूती सुद्धा विभागल्या गेल्या आहेत. ठराविक समाजाचे, गटाचे, जातींचे म्हणून ते सीमित झाले आहेत. आणि हा त्यांचा पराभव बव्हंशी त्यांच्या अनुयायांनीच केला आहे, कुसुमाग्रजांनी त्यांच्या एका कवितेत म्हटल्याप्रमाणे!

काँग्रेस राजवटीने तर या बाबतीत प्रचंड राजकारण करून ठेवले आहे. शासकीय योजना, सवलती, अभियाने, शाळा-महाविद्यालये, सार्वजनिक प्रकल्प या सर्वांना नेहरू, इंदिरा गांधी (खरे नाव घांधी/घांदी), राजीव गांधी (खरे नाव घांधी/घांदी) या तिघांची नावे! कोणते असामान्य कर्तृत्व गाजवले बुआ या प्रभृतींनी? नेहरूंचे चरित्र मी कसे सांगावे? इंदिरानी तर हजारो जणांना तुरुंगात डांबून मानवाधिकारांचे सरळसरळ हनन केले, खुर्चीला चिकटून राहण्यासाठी अश्लाघ्य खटाटोप केला, हुकूमशाही चे वारे अंगात आल्यासारखा कारभार चालवला, कित्येक घरांची वाताहत केली. असो. ही नावे दिल्याने सरकारी जाहिराती, सरकारी उपक्रम कोणत्याही सरकारने (कोणत्याही पक्षाने) राबवले तरी हीच नावे पुढे येणार. अप्रत्यक्षपणे काँग्रेसचा प्रचार. 

हे खेदजनक तर आहेच, पण मनाला लागले सर्वाधिक ते ‘वांद्रे-वरळी सी लिंक’ च्या नामकरणाबाबत. काय म्हणे तर ‘राजीव गांधी सागरी सेतू’. कशाला? संपले बाकीचे सर्व? शिवसेनेने हिकमतीने निषेध आणि आंदोलन केले. त्याचे नाव ‘स्वातंत्र्यवीर सावरकर सागरी सेतू’ असे सुचवले गेले आणि ते तसेच हवे. सागराशी निगडित असलेले सावरकरांचे धैर्य, मातृभूमीबद्दलचे अलोट प्रेम, अंदमानातील तळपते कर्तृत्व, चिकाटीची सहिष्णुता, शिवाय सागरालगतच्या रत्नागिरीमधले कार्य. आणि शिवाय बांद्रा-वरळी च्या मध्यावर येणाऱ्या दादरमध्ये शेवटची कित्येक वर्षे निवास, तिथेच आत्मार्पण. सर्वार्थाने ते नाव योग्य आहे. राजीव गांधींचे म्हणायचे तर साता-समुद्रापलीकडून एक नृत्यांगना आणली. एवढाच काय तो पराक्रम! तिचे ‘डिझाईन’ लपून राहिलेले नाही. वेळोवेळी कित्येक लोकांनी अंतःस्थ हेतूबद्दल उघडपणे बोलून दाखवले आहे. (वाचा : http://vikramwalawalkar.blogspot.com/2011/04/italian-by-birth-and-catholic-by.html ) आपल्या काँग्रेसजनांना गुलामगिरीचा अनुभव घेऊन आता एवढी सवय झाली आहे की, दिग्विजय सिंग, अशोक चव्हाण, पृथ्वीराज चव्हाण, विलास देशमुख, सुशीलकुमार शिंदे ही सगळी ताटाखालची मांजरे इमानी कुत्र्यासारखी वागू लागली आहेत. त्या मणिशंकर अय्यर ने स्वातंत्र्यवीरांचे नाव काढले अंदमानच्या कारागृहातून. ही असली स्वत्वहीन, कणाहीन माणसे आपल्यावर राज्य करणार. म्हणून आपणच आता ठरवायला हवे. आम्ही त्याला ‘स्वातंत्र्यवीर सावरकर सागरी सेतू’ च म्हणणार. त्याचा उल्लेख तसाच करणार. तसेच लिहिणार-बोलणार. बसवर नेहमी ‘रा.गां.सा.सेतू’ पाहिल्यावर राग आल्याशिवाय राहात नाही.

सध्या देशातल्या केंद्र आणि राज्य सरकारच्या जवळपास अक्षरशः शेकडो योजनांना ही अशीच नावे आहेत. त्यांची यादीच लेखाच्या शेवटी दिली आहे. ग्रामीण भागातले उपक्रम, विद्यार्थ्यांचे शैक्षणिक कार्यक्रम, शिष्यवृत्ती या सर्वाला ही नावे. फक्त 'सुलभ शौचालय' हे नाव सुटले आहे या मालिकेतून. खरं म्हणजे त्या एकाच ठिकाणाला शोभून दिसेल नाव! असो. देशातला करदाता हा काही आपल्या पैशाचा विनियोग ह्यांच्या नावे व्हावा म्हणून कर देत नाही. आणि शिवाय हे काही राष्ट्रनेते नव्हेत. असो. ही नावे बदलायला हवीत. ते होईल तेव्हा होईल, पण आपण जमेल तशी सुरुवात करुया. ‘स्वातंत्र्यवीर सावरकर सागरी सेतू’!
