यूं हुई मूर्खता की पहचान
जौहरी ने बेशकीमती पत्थर देख मजदूर से पूछा, 'भइया मैं यह पत्थर खरीदना चाहता हूं। बोलो इसके कितने पैसे लोगे?' कुम्हार को पत्थर की कीमत के बारे में कोई इल्म नहीं था। फिर भी उसने मजे-मजे में कहा कि वह पत्थर के सौ रुपए लेगा। जौहरी ने कहा,'सौ रुपए तो बहुत ज्यादा हैं। मैं इसके पचास रुपए से ज्यादा नहीं दूंगा।' जौहरी यह सोचकर आगे बढ़ गया कि इसे कोई इस पत्थर का कोई और ग्राहक तो मिलेगा नहीं। थोड़ी देर में वह खुद पचास रुपए में पत्थर देने के लिए वापस आ जाएगा। पर मजदूर आगे बढ़ा तो उसे एक और जौहरी मिला। दूसरे जौहरी ने भी कीमती पत्थर को फौरन पहचान लिया और मजदूर से पूछा, 'भइया अपने गधे के गले में बंधा हुआ यह पत्थर बेचोगे?'
इस बार मजदूर कुछ चौंका और उसने पत्थर के दो सौ रुपए मांग लिए। दूसरे जौहरी ने फौरन दो सौ रुपए देकर पत्थर ले लिया। तब तक पहले वाले जौहरी को चिंता हुई और वह भागता हुआ वापस आया कि चलो पत्थर खरीद ही लूं। यहां आने पर जब उसे पता चला कि मजदूर ने दो सौ रुपये में पत्थर बेच दिया तो खीझकर बोला, 'अरे मूर्ख वह दो सौ रुपए का मामूली पत्थर नहीं, लाखों रुपए का बेशकीमती पत्थर था।'
मजदूर ने हंसते हुए जवाब दिया, 'मूर्ख मैं नहीं, आप हैं। मैं तो पत्थर की असली कीमत नहीं जानता था इसलिए उसे दो सौ रुपए में बेचा। आप तो उसकी असली कीमत जानते हुए भी 50 रुपये के लालच में उससे वंचित रह गए।'

On 25th August 1917
the first concrete step towards the Indianisation of the Army was initiated
(AZADI KE PANKH CREATIONS )
25th Aug. 1917
On 25th August 1917 the first concrete step
towards the Indianisation of the Army was initiated when seven selected
Indians, serving the Army, were granted King's Commission in the Infantry and
the Cavalry. Before the World War ended, two more Indians, who previously held
temporary commissions, were granted King's Commission.
The British Indian Army (also known as the
Indian Army) was the main army of the British in India before 1947. This army
was responsible for the defense of the British India and the Princely states
(many of which had their own armies).
The term “Indianisation” meant the process
of introducing Indians into the Commissioned ranks of the defence forces in
India. The First World War saw the brave contribution of Indian troops who
eventually looked forward to be treated equally like their British colleagues.
Gradually, steps were taken towards that direction in the Army. Through the
replacement of British officers with Indians remained a matter of dispute.
Edwin Montagu, a British liberal politician
and Secretary of State for India from 1917 to 1922 believed that it was not
merely enough to observe principles, but it was important to act upon them as
well. Montagu appreciated the services of the Indian members of the army at war
and thought it was important that a number of commissions be given. He was
against any kind of discrimination, neither in the army, nor in the Civil
Service.
On the other hand there was Lord Frederick
Roberts, a British soldier and one of the most successful commanders of the
19th century, who while acknowledging the courage of the Indian soldiers at
war, was convinced that they did not have what it took to create future
leaders. Another influential person against the Indianisation of the Army was
Claude Auchinleck, a British Army Commander during World War II and who
eventually became the Commander-in-Chief of the Indian Army in 1941.
It was in 1918, following the
Montagu-Chelmsford report which laid down the foundation of self governance in
India that the task of transferring the complete nationality of the Indian Army
officer corps from British to Indian began; though self-governance was only a
principle until World War II.
The Montagu-Chelmsford report was a reward
to the Indians for their trustworthy service during World War I. In 1921, Lord
Rawlinson, a British World War I General observed that it would not be possible
to vision a self-governing India without an Indianised army. Reason being that
it would not be practical for India to be a self-governing nation with its army
largely in the hands of the British. But as opposed to establishing a
principle, the execution of it is another thing altogether.
Three years after the Montagu-Chelmsford
Report, nothing much had been done towards Indianisation of the army. Merely
ten places each year were given to Indians at the Royal Military College in
Sandhurst. It was in 1921 when the India Legislative Assembly demanded a future
policy that the Military Recruitment Committee was established, with Lord
Rawling as Chairman, who would establish a policy to set up for final
Indianisation.
It was after World War I that the process of
Indianisation began. Lord Rawling believed that Indians soldiers needed to be
given a fair opportunity to prove that they were effective as officers in the
army in every way. Indian soldiers were promoted to higher ranks and Indian
cadets were sent to the Royal Military Academy in England. Later, these newly
trained officers were given full commission as a King’s Commissioned Indian
Officers. These officers were equal in every way to the British and enjoyed
complete authority over British troops.
Hindi Story
अनमोल खजाना
एक बहुत ही सिद्ध और विवेकशील महात्मा थे। एक बार उन्हें जमीन पर पड़ा हुआ एक पैसा मिला। महात्मा ने उसे उठा लिया। वे सोचने लगे- भिक्षा में मुझे भोजन तो मिल जाता है फिर क्यों मैंने यह पैसा उठा लिया? उन्होंने निश्चय किया कि यह पैसा वह सबसे गरीब आदमी को दान कर देंगे। महात्मा गरीब आदमी की तलाश में घूमते रहे, परंतु उन्हें कोई सुपात्र नहीं मिला।
एक दिन महात्मा जी घूमते-घूमते एक राज्य की राजधानी पहुंचे। उन्होंने देखा कि राजमार्ग पर राजा के साथ अस्त्र-शस्त्रों से सजी एक विशाल सेना चली आ रही थी। राजा महात्मा को पहचानता था। हाथी से उतरकर उसने महात्मा को प्रणाम किया। महात्मा ने कहा, 'राजन! आप अपना हाथ आगे करें।' फिर उन्होंने अपनी झोली से वह पैसा निकालकर राजा के दाएं हाथ पर रख दिया। राजा ने आश्चर्यचकित होकर महात्मा से पूछा,'महाराज! यह क्या है?' महात्मा ने उत्तर दिया, 'मैंने सोचा था यह पैसा मैं सबसे गरीब आदमी को दान करूंगा और वह गरीब आदमी तुम हो।'
राजा ने विनीत स्वर में कहा, 'महाराज! आपके आशीर्वाद से मेरे खजाने में हीरे-जवाहरातों का असीम भंडार है।' महात्मा ने उतर दिया, 'फिर भी राजन! तुम बहुत गरीब हो। यदि तुम्हारे खजाने में धन का भंडार है तो सेना लेकर क्यों जा रहे हो आक्रमण करने। युद्ध में कितने लोगों की जान जाएगी। यह सब किसलिए। मात्र राज्य विस्तार और धन के लिए। तब तुम से गरीब और कौन हो सकता है।'
महात्मा की बातें सुन राजा की नजरें शर्म से झुक गईं। उसने महात्मा के चरण स्पर्श करके अपनी सेना को लौटने का आदेश दिया। राजा सेना के पीछे चलते हुए मुट्ठी में बंद सिक्के को बार-बार देख रहा था। बिना युद्ध किए लौटने के बाद भी राजा को ऐसा लग रहा था मानो वह अनमोल खजाना जीतकर लौट रहा हो।
