अर्थी लेकर किस ओर चलें

कवि श्री अमरबहादुर सिह “अमरेश” द्वारा सरदार पटेल को दी गई श्रध्धांजलि

 

अर्थी लेकर किस ओर चलें,

                              उत्तर में रोता है हिमगिरि अविरल आंसू की धार लिये।

                              दक्षिण में हिंदमहासागर रोता जीवन के ज्वार लिये।

                              कृष्णा, कावेरी, महानदी की मंद त्रिधारा रोती है।

                              उत्तर प्रदेश की छाती में गंगा की धारा रोती है।

किसकी आंखो के आंसू में हम अपनी धाती बोर चलें।

अपने उर के अरमानों की अर्थी लेकर किस ओर चलें।

                              विधवा हो गयी बारडोली आजादी का सिंदुर लुटा।

                              लुट गया किसानों का किसान मज्दूरों क मज्दूर लुटा।

                              वह कर्णधार केशव रण के पश्चात पार्थ को भूल गया।

                              सुकरात चल पडा विष पीकर ईसा फांसी पर झुल गया।

रोकर दुखिया दिल्ली कहती साहस किस तर बटोर चलें।

भारत के भाग्य विधाता की अर्थी लेकर किस ओर चलें।

                              गुजरात तुम्हारी नहीं आज भारत की किस्मत फुट गयी।

                              युग का प्रहार सहने वाली चट्टान बीच से टूट गयी।

                              जब युगाधार की सांस रुकी तब काल स्वयं क्यो रुका नही।

                              झुक गया विश्व झुक गयी धरा पर नभ मंडल क्यों झुका नही।

टुट गया तीर खाली तरकश अब किसकें सम्मुख छोर चलें।

आकाश बता आशाओं की अर्थी लेकर किस ओर चलें।

                              हे राजघाट की श्मशान तुम भूली युग के खेल नही।

                              जा राष्ट्रपिता से कह देना जीवित सरदार पटेल नही।

                              सोनापुर के सूने मरघट, यह बाती मेरी ले जाओ।

                              बदले में तुम केवल पटेल का साहस मुझको दे जाओ।

जिससे युग सागर की कल्मष काई को हम हिलकोर चलें।

अपने ही कंधे पर अपनी अर्थी लेकर किस ओर चलें।

A Great Patriot - Shriyut Vithalbhai Patel

A Great Patriot - Shriyut Vithalbhai Patel

It gives me great pleasure to be here today to release the commemorative postage stamp issued in honour of Shri Vithalbhai Patel on the occasion of his birth centenary. I am glad to have this opportunity to pay my homage to the memory of a great patriot and freedom fighter, and a great parliamentarian. It is very appropriate that this function should be held in the Central Hall of the Parliament House where Vithalbhai Patel made history as the first Indian Speaker of the Central Assembly.

The main points of Vithalbhai Patel's life are well known. He was born one hundred years ago, in a humble family, at Karamsad. After schooling he studied law in the Gokhale Institute at Bombay. After passing the Pleaders' Examination he started legal practice the Pleaders' Examination he started legal practice and made a name as an able and successful lawyer. Later he proceeded to England where he pursued legal studies further, and was called to the Bar in 1908. On return to India he setup legal practice in Bombay, but this was only a brief prelude to his entry into active public life.

His achievements as a member of the Borsad Taluk Board, the Kaira District Local Board and the Corporation of Bombay were noteworthy, and were followed by even greater achievements in the Bombay Legislative Council and later, in the Central Legislature at Delhi.

Vithalbhai Patel, along with his equally illustrious brother, Vallabhbhai, was the inheritor of a tradition to fearless sacrifice and patriotic service for the cause of the nation. He was closely associated with the freedom struggle during the early decades of the present century, and has lefft the impress of his great personality on the history of those times.

Vithalbhai Patel was elected to the Imperial Legislative Council in 1918 and to the Central Legislative Assembly in 1924. He was indeed an outstanding pioneer of parliamentary life in our country who appears to have had a prescience of the vital position which Parliament would acquire in Independent India. As the first Indian to be elected as President of the Central Assembly in 1925, he displayed an ability and independence which made his five year tenure memorable and historic. Fearless, firm and impartial, his rulings from the Chair were marked by a profound knowledge of Parliamentary procedure and rules and have created, for posterity, very sound and valuable traditions and practices. He was an intellectual force, had sturdy judgment and a most remarkable independence of character. He held this high office with unique distinction until his resignation on political grounds. When he died on October 23, 1933, at Geneva, India lost one of its greatest sons, and the people mourned the loss of a veteran leader of rare integrity. But the spirit of the great man still lives to inspire and guide us in our endeavours to reach our goal of unity, prosperity and strength.

I congratulate the Department of Posts and Telegraphs on the scheme they have been following of honouring the memory of great men and women through memorial postage stamps. These stamps are permanent and valuable mementos cherished by all people whether they are philatelists or not. In view of the importance and popularity of these tokens the P&T Department could perhaps consider whether the stamps can be improved in quality. I understand that there are already some sophisticated processes available for this purpose and that if they are used, it would be possible to improve the quality of our stamps even further.

I have now much pleasure in releasing the Vithalbhai Patel Commemorative Stamp.

Jai Hind

Speech of Shri G. S. Pathak. the Vice-President of India on the occasion of the release of Vithalbhai Patel commemorative postage stamp at the Central Hall of Parliament House, on the 27th September, 1973.

સરદાર પટેલે નહેરુને નકારી દીધા હતા

૬ મે ૧૯૫૦,

મારા વહાલા વલ્લભભાઈ,

નેશનલ હેરાલ્ડમાં ફાળો આપવા વિશે ૬ મેના તમારા પત્ર માટે આભાર. તમે જે સિદ્ધાંતનું પાલન કરો છો તે એ છે કે મંત્રી વિભાગના કાર્યોમાં સામેલ કોઈની પાસેથી પૈસા એકઠા કરવા, સ્પષ્ટપણે યોગ્ય છે. પરંતુ તે કેવી રીતે અમલમાં મૂકવું તે હંમેશાં સ્પષ્ટ હોતું નથી. ઉદાહરણ તરીકે, બંને રના પાસે કંઇ કરવાનું નહોતું, જ્યાં સુધી હું જાણું છું, કોઈપણ એરલાઇન્સ સાથે અથવા તે સમયે હેરાલ્ડમાં પસંદગીના શેર ખરીદવાનું વચન આપતા તે સમયે સંચાર વિભાગ સાથે. કે ફિરોઝે મને જે કહ્યું છે તે મુજબ, રફી અહેમદ કિદવાઈને આ સંબંધમાં તેમની સાથે કંઈ લેવા-દેવા નહોતા?

મારો છેલ્લા ૩ ૧/૨  વર્ષ કે તેથી વધુ સમયથી હેરાલ્ડ સાથે કોઈ સંપર્ક નથી, અને તે કેવી રીતે ચલાવવામાં આવે છે તેની કોઈ વિશિષ્ટ માહિતી પણ મને મળી નથી. હું સમજી શકું છું કે સમયાંતરે ફિરોઝ અથવા મૃદુલા અથવા રઘુનંદન સારન અથવા કેટલાક અન્ય લોકો તેના શેર જુદી જુદી જગ્યાએ વેચતા હતા. 

સામાન્ય રીતે વેચેલા શેરો ઓછી માત્રામાં હતા. શક્ય છે કે રફી અહેમદે આ મામલો કેટલાક લોકોને આપ્યો હોય. પરંતુ મને આ યોગદાન અને હવાઈ સેવાઓ વચ્ચે જોડાણ દેખાતું નથી. જેમ જેમ હું તમને લખું છું, રાણાઓએ ચિત્રમાં આવે તે પહેલાં કોઈપણ હવાઈ સેવામાં તેમના પ્રદાનનું વચન આપ્યું હતું. તે સાચું છે કે તેણે પાછળથી એટલે કે ડિસેમ્બર 1949 માં આ ફાળોનો ફાળો આપ્યો. મને લાગે છે કે હેરાલ્ડ તેને સ્વીકારે નહીં તે માટે તે સારું રહેશે. હકીકતમાં હેરાલ્ડ એ એક સારો વ્યવસાય દરખાસ્ત છે અને તેના પ્રેફરન્સ શેર્સ અને ડિબેન્ચર્સ ખરાબ રોકાણ નથી.

તમારો

૧૦ મે ૧૯૫૦

મારા પ્રિય જવાહરલાલ,

નેશનલ હેરાલ્ડ વિશે ૬ મે, ૧૯૫૦ ના તમારા પત્ર માટે આભાર.

તમે જે સ્થાન લીધું છે તે જોતાં મને આ બાબત આગળ વધારવી નકામું લાગે છે. આ પ્રવૃત્તિઓ હું કેવી રીતે જોઉ છું તે મેં તમને પહેલાથી જ કહી દીધું છે અને તે શંકાસ્પદ છે કે જો મારે આ મામલે બીજા કોઈ પ્રાંતમાં કંઈ લેવાનું છે, તો આ પરિસ્થિતિ મારા દ્વારા સહન કરવામાં આવશે. તમને લાગે છે કે ફાળો નેશનલ હેરાલ્ડમાં આવે છે કારણ કે તે એક સારો વ્યવસાય દરખાસ્ત છે અને તેના પસંદગીના શેર્સ અને ડિબેંચર્સ ખરાબ રોકાણ નથી. નેશનલ હેરાલ્ડમાં રોકાણ કરનારાઓની મારી પોતાની માહિતી અન્યથા સૂચવે છે. તમે મને એમ પણ લખ્યું હતું કે રફીએ તેની દિશામાંથી રાજીનામું આપ્યું હતું. મને ખબર નથી કે તેણે આ ક્યારે કર્યું, પરંતુ મને હજી પણ નેશનલ હેરાલ્ડ સાથે તેના ગા close અને નજીકના સંપર્કના પુરાવા મળ્યા છે.

તમારો 

વલ્લભ ભાઈ પટેલ

Farmers - 6 - સરદાર વાણી - सरदार वाणी

Farmers - 6 - સરદાર વાણી - सरदार वाणी

I wish the farmers should be free from debt, but I wish more that farmer should be farmer, he should be a man, not living like an animal. Farmers have an unbearable burden of debt of moneylenders on their heads.

(Date : 25 December 1937, Occasion : Addressing villagers of Rajpipla on revival of Cottage Industries to enrich farmers.)

Today That Day | Gandhiji's Visit at Kaira - 1st November 2020

Today That Day | Gandhiji's Visit at Kaira - 1st November 2020

On the first November Gandhi visited Nadiad and addressed a gathering of about 5,000 persons. Vallabhbhai Javerbhai Patel also spoke at the meeting. Gandhi began by urging the need of unity between Hindus and Mahommadans. during this connection he mentioned Moulvi of Ahmedabad who had been creating a breach between Hindus and Mahommadans. He said the person had not been authorised to talk on their behalf by himself or by the Khilafat Committee. He announced that he intended asking the Khilafat Committee and therefore the Swaraj Committee to issue certificates to persons who were authorised to talk on their behalf. He then went on to mention that Government intended taking repressive measures which it had been likely that he himself, Shaukat Ali, and Mohamed Ali would be arrested. just in case they were arrested there should be no violence, no bloodshed, no hartals and no lifting of rails. Government believed that the agitation within the country was thanks to the very fact that he and therefore the Ali Brothers were free. It should be proved to Government that it had been not he or Mohamed Ali or Shaukat Ali who demanded Swaraj or justice for the Punjab or the Khilafat, but the entire people. No representations should be made to Government just in case they were arrested. He then advised people to not send their children to Government schools because the education given there was impure, to not vote at the elections, and to form use of home-made cloth. People were advised to not celebrate Diwali this year. The festival is meant to precise the enjoyment of the people at the success of Ram over Rawan. But at the present there's the rule of the Rakshas and other people haven't any right to celebrate Diwali till Ramraj is established. He concluded his speech by saying that till then he had scrupulously avoided posing for money as he was afraid that the cash collected by his men could be misappropriated. (I think this a part of his speech has not been correctly reported.) But circumstances had arisen which compelled him to invite money. They wanted to possess national schools and therefore the work couldn't be accomplished without money. 

Gandhi and his party left Nadiad an equivalent night.

M. K. Gandhi received Mehmedabad and was met at the station by about fifty Home Rulers, etc., and ten volunteers, and brought in procession through the town. Handbills containing the subsequent phrases were restored on the roadsides : "If we've no voice in ruling our own country, we should always not pay taxes", " we should always fear the detectives of God much more than those of Government" India is for the Indians ", " self-government is my religious motto and it's what I desire", "By the sins of kings, calamities fail upon the themes , ana if the themes won't oppose them they invite more calamities by adding their own sins thereto", " If you've got no courage keep silent and see results of the fight of others", "When slaves forget their slavery there's no remedy for releasing them from their bondage."

Gandhi first addressed a gathering of about 300 women and urged them to try to to their bit towards non-co-operation. He then addressed a gathering of about 3,000 persons in his usual style and language. a handbag of Rs. 300 was presented to him. From Mehmedabad he went on to Nadiad an equivalent day. On his arrival at Nadiad he put up at the Santram temple. At 5 p.m. he aadressed a gathering of about 3,000 women within the Mogalkot dharamshala in South Bazar, and at 8 p.m. addressed an open-air meeting of about 10,000 persons outside tne Anmeaabadi Gate, under the presidentship of Vallabhbhai J. Patel. the most object of Gandhis visit was to gather funds. He evidently thinks that there's something within the wina, for he urged the people to not commit any acts of violence just in case he or any of the local agitators— he named Mohanlal K. Pandya, Gopaldas D. Talati and Kalyanji Mehta of Surat—were arrested. as was common he mentioned this Government as a devilish one. He mentioned a Moulvi in Ahmeda-bad (Moulvi Mustaq Ahmed) and condemned his manner of speech. He seems to possess given up the thought of requiring pleaders to suspend practising within the law courts, as he said that that question should be postponed. He urged the withdrawal of scholars from Government schools, the boycotting of the councils, celibacy, viz., to not increase and multiply, the utilization of swadeshi cloths and to celebrate the Diwali consistent with his article within the Navjivan. He entreated volunteers to not misappropriate public money and therefore the people to ascertain that their subscriptions visited properly authorised collectors.

Gandhi and party left Nadiad by mail for Broach on the first November.
