नई दिल्ली। शहीद-ए-आजम भगत सिंह द्वारा आठ अप्रैल 1929 को काले कानून पब्लिक सेफ्टी और ट्रेड डिस्प्यूट बिल के विरोध में किए गए बम धमाके की गूंज लंदन के जरिए पूरी दुनिया में फैल गई थी और इस तरह अंग्रेजों को खुली चुनौती देने वाले इस भारतीय क्रांतिकारी का नाम भी दुनिया के लोगों की जुबान पर आ गया।

आठ अप्रैल को सेंट्रल असेंबली में लगभग साढ़े 12 बजे जैसे ही पब्लिक सेफ्टी और ट्रेड डिस्प्यूट बिल को पेश करने की तैयारी की जाने लगी, तभी भगत सिंह ने एक के बाद एक दो बम धमाके कर दिए, जिससे चारों तरफ अफरातफरी मच गई। भगत सिंह और उनके साथी बटुकेश्वर दत्त 'इंकलाब जिंदाबाद' के नारे लगाने लगे और आजादी के तराने लिखे पर्चे फेंकने लगे। इसके बाद दोनों क्रांतिकारियों ने गिरफ्तारी दी।

भगत सिंह से संबंधित घटनाओं पर शोध करने वाले जवाहर लाल नेहरू विश्वविद्यालय के प्रोफेसर चमन लाल के अनुसार भगत सिंह ने बम फेंकने से पहले ही एक प्रेस विज्ञप्ति तैयार कर दी थी, जो उनके साथियों ने उस समय के सभी प्रमुख अखबारों को पहुंचा दी।

चमन लाल ने बताया कि स्टेट्समैन के पत्रकार दुर्गादास ने सोचा कि यदि यह खबर उन्होंने अखबार के कोलकाता कार्यालय भेजी तो उसे उचित स्थान नहीं मिल पाएगी, इसलिए उन्होंने सेंट्रल असेंबली में बम धमाके की विस्तृत खबर सीधे स्टेट्समैन के लंदन स्थित कार्यालय भेज दी और फिर वहां से यह खबर दुनियाभर में फैल गई। उन्होंने बताया कि उस दिन सेंट्रल असेंबली में भगत सिंह ने दो बम फेंके, लेकिन एक बम फेंकने की जिम्मेदारी बटुकेश्वर दत्त ने अपने ऊपर ले ली, ताकि वह जेल में अपने मित्र भगत सिंह के साथ ही रह सकें।

बम जानबूझकर ऐसी जगह फेंके गए जिनसे धमाका तो हो, लेकिन किसी की जान नहीं जाए। भगत सिंह और बटुकेश्वर दत्त के बीच गहरी दोस्ती थी, जिस पर भगत सिंह और बटुकेश्वर दत्त की अमर कहानी नाम से एक किताब भी लिखी गई।

चमन लाल ने बताया कि असेंबली में बम फेंके जाने की तैयारी बहुत पहले ही कर ली गई थी। इसे अंजाम देने के लिए क्रांतिकारी दिल्ली आए और सीताराम बाजार में ठहरे। भगत सिंह ने कश्मीरी गेट स्थित फोटोग्राफर रामनाथ के स्टूडियो में टोपी पहनकर फोटो खिंचवाई। घटना से पहले चंद्रशेखर आजाद, भगत सिंह और जयदेव कपूर दर्शक दीर्घा में बैठकर सेंट्रल असेंबली का मुआयना कर आए थे। असेंबली में भारतीय सदस्य डा. किचलू ने भगत सिंह को पहचान लिया था। किचलू ने भगत सिंह को अपने पास बुलवाकर असेंबली आने का कारण पूछा, लेकिन भगत सिंह ने अपनी योजना का खुलासा नहीं किया। इसके बावजूद किचलू समझ गए थे कि क्रांतिकारी किसी घटना को अंजाम देंगे। किचलू ने भगत सिंह को दो सौ रुपये दिए और कहा कि कोई अन्य मदद चाहिए तो बता देना।

भगत सिंह और उनके साथी बटुकेश्वर दत्त को असेंबली में प्रवेश के लिए पास एक भारतीय सदस्य से मिल गया था, जिसके नाम के बारे में अब तक पुष्टि नहीं हो पाई है। भगत सिंह ने बम फेंकने के मामले में अपना मुकदमा खुद लड़ा, जबकि बटुकेश्वर दत्त का मुकदमा आसफ अली ने लड़ा। आठ अप्रैल 1929 को जयदेव कपूर भी असेंबली में भगत सिंह के साथ ही थे, लेकिन वह बम फेंके जाने की घटना से कुछ समय पहले ही बाहर आ गए थे।

इस मामले में भगत सिंह और बटुकेश्वर दत्त को उम्रकैद हुई, लेकिन सांडर्स हत्याकांड में भगत सिंह को 23 मार्च 1931 को फांसी दे दी गई। भगत सिंह ने जिस उद्देश्य से असेंबली में फेंका, उसमें वह पूरी तरह कामयाब रहे। उन्होंने अदालत को अपने मिशन के लिए मंच के रूप में इस्तेमाल किया और हिंदुस्तान के जन-जन के मन में उन्होंने आजादी हासिल करने की उमंग भर दी। बटुकेश्वर दत्त का 1965 में दिल्ली में बीमारी के बाद निधन हो गया।

Over 100 million people in India smoke bidi and more people die due to smoking bidis than all other forms of tobacco combined, says a bidi monograph, the first study of the kind conducted anywhere in the world. It further says that 800 million bidis are sold in the country each year.

While 19 per cent of tobacco consumption in India is in the form of cigarettes, 53 per cent is smoked as bidis. Roughly about eight bidis are sold for every cigarette, underlines Bidi Smoking and Public Health, released by Union Ministry of Health and Family welfare on Monday.

"Tobacco is harmful in all its forms. Anti-tobacco advocacy is a major task of this ministry," said Naresh Dayal, Secretary, Health Ministry, while releasing the monograph. Dayal added that Food and Agricultural Organisation estimated that 29 lakh persons grow tobacco for bidis in the country.

The current bidi smoking prevalence is high (10.6 per cent-14.2 per cent) in Manipur, Mizoram, Nagaland and Sikkim, intermediately high (4.6 per cent-9.2 per cent) in Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Bihar, Chandigarh and Meghalaya, low (1 per cent or less) in Goa, Tamil Nadu, Uttar Pradesh, Delhi, Karnataka, Gujarat, Himachal Pradesh and Punjab, intermediately low (1.1 per cent-2.9 per cent) in Maharastra, West Bengal, Andhra Pradesh, Tripura, Orissa, Uttarakhand, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh.

According to the monograph, regular prevalence of smoking is highest in Mizoram and lowest in Punjab. "Bidi smoking is found to be more common in households consuming paan or alcohol," says the report, authored by 35 experts and 51 reviewers.

While students are more inclined towards cigarette smoking, bidi smoking is no less with 12.5 per cent students in India smoking bidis. In Orissa, 19.7 per cent of men and 1.4 per cent of women smoke bidi on a daily basis.

"Bidi contains much less tobacco than cigarette, has more tar, nicotine and other toxic substances. It contains most potent cancer causing agents," said Prakash Gupta, one of the authors of the monograph.

Regarding diseases caused due to bidi smoking, the report says in India the major effect of tobacco is seen in oral cavity, pharynx and oesophagus, which together account for 75 per cent of tobacco-related cancers.

According to the report, bidi and tuberculosis go hand in hand. Compared to unfiltered cigarette, bidi smoke contains higher levels of carbon monoxide, ammonia, hydrogen cyanide, phenol volatile phenols.

FACTFILE -

85 per cent of the world's tobacco for bidi is grown in India

Bidi crop cultivation occupies 35 per cent of the total area under tobacco cultivation, mostly in Gujarat, Karnataka and Maharashtra

1,50,000 tonnes of tobacco and 30,00 tonnes of tendu leaves are used to make bidis.

Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan are leading suppliers of tendu leaves

इलाज के दौरान दांतों में होने वाले दर्द या बेचैनी से राहत दिलाने के लिए ऑक्सफोर्ड में कार्यरत भारतीय मूल के एक डॉक्टर ने अनूठा रास्ता निकाला है।

वह अपने मरीजों को इलाज के दौरान फिल्में दिखाते हैं। अमित महिंद्रा (29) ने ऑक्सफोर्ड के डेंटल क्लीनिक में इस अनूठे तरीके को अपनाया है।

उन्होंने फिल्म दिखाने के लिए एक छोटी सी स्क्रीन और सिर में लगाए जा सकने वाले एक हैडबैंड में लगा ईयरफोन का इस्तेमाल करना शुरू किया। यह तरीका कामयाब रहा और अब हालात यह हैं कि मरीज इलाज के दौरान देखने के लिए अपने घर से अपनी मनपसंद डीवीडी लाने लगे हैं।

महिंद्रा ने कहा कि ज्यादातर मरीजों को इलाज के दौरान बेचैनी की समस्या होती थी। उन्होंने कहा कि जिस समय वह दंत चिकित्सा विज्ञान का अध्ययन कर रहे थे, उन दिनों इस आम समस्या से लोगों को राहत दिलाने पर उनका ध्यान केंद्रित था।

सर्वे से जाहिर होता है कि 60 प्रतिशत लोग डेंटिस्ट के पास जाने में घबराते हैं। कई लोग तो डेंटिस्ट के पास तभी जाते हैं, जब वे बेहद दर्द से परेशान हो चुके होते हैं।

Kaphal, Kafal Pakko, meil ni chakkho (Kaphal has ripened, but I have not
yet tasted the same)

Ye ka phal hai? (What's this fruit?) An interesting story of a tourist
about Kaphal is sometimes narrated by the people: Ye ka phal hai,
enquired a tourist coming from the plains. The Kaphal seller boy said ye
Kaphal hai. (This is Kaphal). He again put the same question, ye ka phal
hai, the reply was again ye kaphal hai. Hot talks between the got
converted in to a squabble. The matter ended when someone intervened and
told the tourist that the name of this fruit is Kaphal and the tourist
and the kaphal boy both started smiling.

Kaphal pakko, meil ni chakkho (Kaphal has ripened, but I have not
yet tasted the same) is the pathetic explanation of a little girl who
died of severe beating by her mother. The story goes that once a Woman
picked up Kaphals from the Kaphal tree. After toiling hard for the whole
day, she could pick up a basket-full of Kaphals. At home she asked her
daughter to look after the Kaphal basket and not to eat Kaphal. The
little girl kept a strict vigil on the basket and slept for a while.
When her mother reached home, she observed that the weight of the basket
had gone down. She suspected that the little girl must have eaten away
the Kaphals. In fact she wanted to sell the Kaphals next day to cater to
the daily needs of the house. But when she felt that the Kaphals were
eaten away by her daughter, she gave her a severe beating. The girl was
continuously crying and was saying that the she had not tasted the
Kaphals. Due to excessive beating the girl died. It was the month of
May. In fact due to the scorching heat of the summer the Kaphals had
dried up, hence the basket full of Kaphals lost weight. But in the
afternoon there was a severe downpour and the Kaphals became juicy once
again. The mother observed that the Kaphal basket had once again
regained weight. Kaphals had become juicy once again due to rains. She
repented, but the little girl had expired. After her death she took
birth as a bird Magpie. After her birth as a Magpie the bird chatters,
Kaphal Pakko, meil ni chakkho. People of the hills instinctively feel
the pathetic message which the bird delivers through her above song and
remember the little girl.

Yet another story says that a young bride says to her mother-in-law:
"O! My mother-in-law Kaphal has ripened. Burdened by the unending cycle
of reaping, winnowing, sowing, weeding, wood cutting and fetching water
from long distance, shall I ever have enough of leisure to taste Kaphals
in the jungle while traversing the trail that leads to my mother's
home?" So sang a Kumaoni bride ages back and trapped in a vicious circle
of hard life when she lost her life untimely, she became a Magpie, a
beautiful bird who, when the Kaphal ripens in Himalayan jungles in the
month of May and June often sings, "Kaphal pakko, meil ni chakkho"
(kaphal has ripened but I couldn't taste it yet).

A small poem on Kaphal reads:

The 'kaphal' fruit is ripe Come dear friend - Let us go to the forest
To eat the fruit of the 'kaphal' bush The leaves of the Oak tree have
turned green There is water in the roots of the Oak Come, quench your
thirst.

Kaphal, Kafal or Kaiphal (Myrica Esculenta) is a sub-temperate
moderate-sized ever green tree varying from 3 to 15 Metre from place to
place is found throughout the mid-Himalayas, between heights of 900
metres to 2,100 metres above sea level. The tree yields a fruit of the
cherry size are reddish or cheese coloured when ripe and is one of the
tastiest wild fruits of the sub-Himalayan region. It is a wonder fruit
with high medicinal value. The fruits are edible. They are considered
pectoral, sedative, stomachic and carminative. They have pleasant
sourish sweet taste and used in preparing refreshing drink. The fruits
are eaten raw not only in India but in China, Japan and Europe as well.
It is a small fruit with a bigger seed than the part that matters. You
can eat it all day long (or till your tongue goes sore) as it does no
harm and actually. Kaphal helps your digestive system.

The bark of Kaphal is said to possess many medicinal properties. It
is heat stimulating and useful in catarrhal fever, cough and in the
affections of the throat. Oil prepared from it is dropped into ears to
stop. The small, seedy fruits are sweet, with a pleasant blend of acid.
They are very attractive. The overall fruit quality is excellent. It
normally yields 15 to 25 Kg. Kaphals per tree depending upon the size of
the tree.The small seedy fruits of Kaphal are very much liked by all for
their taste and juiciness. With the onset of summer, the Kaphal starts
ripening and the villagers start picking the Kaphals from the forests
and sell it in towns. Sometimes they have to face the wrath of the
Forest Guards, who however lets them go in exchange for a pocket full of
Kaphals. In the adjoining towns, the fruits easily sell @ 40 to 50
rupees a kg. Every year the fruit of this tree, worth thousands of
rupees, is sold in towns. It is a good source of extra income for the
villagers, which in peak season fetches 200 to 250 per day or so.The
major problem in the case of this fruit is that the harvesting period is
too long and fruits from a single tree have to be harvested in many
pickings. However, this is the only cost involved in the case of this
fruit, the numerous trees bearing which are growing wild in the forests.
This cost can, therefore, be overlooked. Yet another problem is that the
harvest from the Kaphals tree is not the same every year. It is
dependant upon good rains. If it rains at the time of ripening, the
fruit becomes juicy but if it does not rain the juicy content is lost.
In any case the Kaphal gives some sort of employment to the villagers at
least for sometimes.
The fruits, unfortunately, are not good keepers and their shelf-life
does not exceed 2-3 days. As already mentioned under chemical
composition, these fruits are fairly juicy and the percentage of
extractable juice is about 40 per cent. The juice has a very attractive
sparkling red colour. If the juice of Kaphal is prepared it would be an
additional source of income for the people. Further it has medicinal
properties especially in Ayurveda. Uttarakhand Government should make
efforts to standardize a technique for its utilization.

पासपोर्ट कार्यालय
देहरादून, जागरण ब्यूरो: छह साल तक इंतजार करने के बाद उत्तराखंड को आज आखिरकार अपना पासपोर्ट कार्यालय मिल ही गया। विदेश मंत्री प्रणव मुखर्जी ने आज इसके दफ्तर का विधिवत लोकार्पण किया। एक होटल में आयोजित कार्यक्रम में विदेश मंत्री श्री मुखर्जी ने उत्तराखंड के मुख्यमंत्री भुवन चंद्र खंडूड़ी व विधानसभा अध्यक्ष हरबंश कपूर के साथ पासपोर्ट दफ्तर के शिलापट का अनावरण किया। इस मौके पर श्री मुखर्जी ने कहा कि वैश्वीकरण के इस दौर में लोगों का व्यवसाय, उच्च शिक्षा व अन्य कार्यो के लिए विदेश आना-जाना लगा रहता है। इसके लिए पासपोर्ट की जरूरत होती है। अभी तक उत्तराखंड के लोगों को पासपोर्ट बरेली दफ्तर से जारी किए जाते थे। आज से यहां दफ्तर ने काम शुरू कर दिया है। सूबे के सभी 13 जनपदों में आवेदन पत्र संग्रह केंद्र भी बना दिए गए हैं। इससे काम तेजी से हो सकेगा। इसका सबसे ज्यादा लाभ सीमांत इलाकों में रह रहे लोगों को होगा। उन्होंने उम्मीद जाहिर की कि यह दफ्तर उत्तराखंड के लोगों की सेवा बेहतर ढंग से कर सकेगा। उनका कहना था कि देशभर में पासपोर्ट बनवाने वालों की संख्या में इजाफा हो रहा है। काम तेजी से पूरा करने के लिए देशभर के सभी 35 पासपोर्ट दफ्तरों को पूरी तरह से कंप्यूटरीकृत किया जा चुका है। मुख्यमंत्री भुवन चंद्र खंडूड़ी ने कहा कि इस पासपोर्ट दफ्तर के लिए उन्होंने 2002 में प्रयास शुरू किए थे। राज्य के लोगों का एक सपना आज पूरा हो गया है। विदेश मंत्रालय के विशेष सचिव शरद सब्बरवाल ने पासपोर्ट जारी करने की व्यवस्था पर और उत्तराखंड में इस दफ्तर की जरूरत के बारे में विस्तार से चर्चा की।
