नीरज जोशी पहाड़ से लौट कर आये हैं और अपना दर्द विस्फोट पर सबसे बांट रहे हैं.
गांव के ईर्द गिर्द सिरहाने और पांवों की ओर दो तीन किमी दूर तक छितरे उन सीढ़ीनुमा खेतों के बारे में इस बार अचानक मेरी दिलचस्पी बढ गई। खेतों को दूर दूर तक निहारते हुए यह प्रश्न मेरे जेहन में बार-बार कौंधा कि आखिर इस महाविस्तार में इतने सीढीनुमा खेत किसने बनाये होंगे? अब ये खेत बंजर पडे़ हैं। हमारे शैशव में जिन खेतों पर फसलें लहलहाती थी वहां अब जंगली झाडियॉं और कंटीले पेड़ उग आये है। ऐसा देखना उस आमधारणा के उलट है जो मानती है कि पहले जनसंख्या बहुत कम थी और अब एकाएक विस्फोट की स्थिति में पहुंच गई हैं। फिर ये खेत ऑंखिर बंजर क्यों हो गये? जनसंख्या बढ़ने के साथ उन पर दबाव बढ़ना चाहिए था। पर ये दवाब शून्य ही नही बंजर कर दिये गये हैं। कभी कभी ठहरकर यदि आप नजर डालेंगे तो इस वितान में दूर खडे़ छोटे- छोटे मकानों को देखकर एहसास होगा ये किसी महासभ्यता के ध्वंशावशेष हैं।

It is very true that the peoples of Hilly areas moves to plain area for want of livelihood which is possibly not available till date.
Only those remains which has either great attchment to that place or under complusion.

Basic facilities are very far away from a common man of Uttranchal region, because job opportunaty is not for local people. Mostly outsider are accupied in government bodies/state governmeant jobs. it will take time to change the thing

apne pahad ka kya kahna. kash ki wahan par sari suvidhayen hamko mil jati to hamko apni janm bhumi nahi chhorni padti.
ham aaj devbhumi se door ho gaye hain. isliye yah zaroori hai ki ham sab ek hokar apne vikas ke marg ko prashasht karen.
yahi sochkar maine agami lok sabha chunao men independent candidate ke roop men apne uttranchal ke bhai-bahnon ke hit men election ladne ka man banaya hai. mujhe asha hi nahi poorna viswas hai ki ham sab ek hokar vijaysree prapt karenge.

Dear Joshi Ji,
I have read your comments on the bad conditions of hills. Neither any leader nor government will take any step to develop the hills. It is only the people can develop the hills who belong the hills. We should organise a committe to develop.
Regards,

Maine pahad ke visay par aap sabke comments ko padha aur paya ki aap sabko pahadon se behad lagaw hai. Mujhe atyant prasannta huee. Yadi ham wastav men apne pahad ke liye kuch karna chahte hain to apni vyatha matra do shabdon me bayan na kar ham sabko milkar pahad ki khushhali/samridhi evam vikas ke liye sarthak prayas karna hoga. kyon na ham sab kuch aise raste chune jisse ham pahad ke prati apne kartavya ka nirvahan kar saken.
aap sabka bhai….Rajesh Naithani…Lucknow.

Dear Mr Joshi,
It is being quite happy that you people are interested in our motherland.
actually the basic problem is there is the sortage of jobs in public sector.I want to pointed out Mr.Hira Ballabh Madolia’s statment that the government did’nt take any action in the past.Mr.Madolia I agree with you but who will come to take an action?

I think, there is not problem of hill areas which is coming from population pressure but actually problem created by market forces and consumer culture. These forces not only put pressure on governments but also more this they are decision/policy makers. Almost companies and factories onwers are non hill origin persons. From the global governments to local governments all are under pressures of market and capitalist forces. Partnership with politicians and administrators these forecs envolve in the system of silent killing of agriculture and animal husbendary sectors and setting up industrial and trade based market economy. More than 20% agriculture and grazzing land has been captured by these forces in the name of industrial development and production. In hill areas, no graduat student in agriculture stream would like do farming.What is Globalisation? Ans…is Made in which country, product of which company…get Jobs in call-centers…for consumption go in shopping-malls. Farmer is labour…producer is consumer…development is market…growth is consumption…Meaningless and unneccessary development is imposing in hill areas. It is not development but destruction of natural beauty and exploitation of rural areas wealth. More than 90% MLAs and MPs are richest in rich people. No representation of farmer and labour communities in Assemblies and Parliament. they fight election, win election not with power of votes but power of NOTES/money.

Joshi jee,
I am with you, but seems late, I am in Indore (MP),When I listen a song”Pahar chhuti gau, ghar baar chhuti gau” of MR.Digari, really I feel nothing is here, but what to do, Population is a biggest factor but todays remaining people don’t want to maintain their proginators assets.
They all want to make prosperous without any hardworking.Which is not possible.
Maxi bhi chahiye,Barmooda bhee and more other things, all knows.
THANKS

हिंदी चिट्ठा जगत में बहुत हलचल है, हर दिन नये चिट्ठाकार सामने आ रहे हैं, कुछ लोग कम लिखते हैं पर अच्छा लिखते हैं, कुछ बहुत लिख रहे हैं और बहुत अच्छा भी. लेकिन देसीपंडित पर इसका कोई प्रभाव नहीं लगता, क्या पिछले छह महीनों में एक भी अच्छा चिट्ठा नहीं दिखा यह बात कुछ अविश्वासनीय सी लगती है.
हिंदी चिट्ठों के एग्रीगेटर तो बहुत हैं पर देसीपंडित जैसी सेवा जिससे अच्छे चिट्ठों के बारे में बताया जाये, उसकी कमी है.
