Why HAs History Forgotten this Giant..?
It is a matter of shame that while everybody was busy in paying homage to Mahatma Gandhi, nobody realised that october 2 was also the birth anniversary of one...of
our greatest freedom fighters & Leader -A man of Soil,Simplicity &
Devotion- Shri LAl BAHADUR SHASTRI JI,.The media seems to have
forgotten Shastri Ji 's Sacrifices for the nation (insteaad of it media
is more devoted in celebrating any actor or actress birth anniversary well have these actors or actress have done any social reforms in society or have they led their life in country pride thn why is it so in our country....? we have to biocott this prevailing scenerio ....)It shows the sycophancy of the congress leadership,which on the one hand is running an austerity drive & on the other,is spending lakhs on full page newspaper advertisements in the memory of their Gandhi 's.....
Shastri Ji, is my idol of Honesty,Courage,& Confidence,
He is the LEGEND of India.which is now suffering from incurable diseases, politics,
He Truly Deserves to be the Father of Nation not anyone else.so i request u to all please pay ur tribute to this Holy Soul on his Post Birth Anniversary.

ReplyDeleteBharat ko Lal Bahadur Shastri jaisa koi Bahadur aur Imandar PM aaj tak nahi mila.
A short man. A lean body. Eyes wide as the wheels of a cart. His clothes were simple, his voice soft and almost inaudible. But there was always a smile, which overarched his words. There was not the slightest sign of pride or authority in his bearing. Could he administer a nation of five hundred million people, doubted some.
ReplyDeleteLal Bahadur never praised himself. On the contrary he used to say: "I am an ordinary man and not a very bright man." He never aspired to power. He never worked for it.
People used to call him the homeless Home Minister because he did not have a house of his own. He had rented a small house in Allahabad. Even when he was a minister, he used to stay in that house when he went to Allahabad. After a few days the owner of the house let it out to another family. When Shastriji resigned as minister he vacated the government quarters and he did not have a place to line in!
ReplyDeleteस्वतंत्र भारत के दूसरे प्रधानमंत्री लाल बहादुर शास्त्री (1904-1966) की जीवन-गाथा एक सामान्य व्यक्ति की असामान्य गाथा है। इस व्यक्ति ने अपने प्रारंभिक जीवन में गरीबी की आग की झुलस को झेलते हुए केवल नैतिक सिद्धान्तों के बल पर असाधारण राजनैतिक ऊँचाई हासिल की। शास्त्री जी अपने पीछे न कोई धन-संपत्ति छोड़ गये, न कोई बैंक-बैलेंस। हाँ, हर तरह के भ्रष्टाचार के बोलबाले वाले आज के माहौल में राजनीति का चक्कर चलाने वालों के लिए एक मिसाल जरूर कायम कर गये। क्या आज का राजनेता इससे कुछ सीखना चाहेगा।
ReplyDeleteShastri can't be revived
ReplyDeleteIf the Congress wants to celebrate Shastri, it will have to re-emphasis the honesty of Shastri. He stood for the small men of India.
But the Congress has changed completely. Since Mrs Gandhi said that corruption is a world phenomenon, Congressmen are not losing sleep over it. Neither can I imagine Shastri imposing the Emergency.
All those Congressmen seen active during the Emergency are part of this government. Ambika Soni is a confidante of Sonia Gandhi [ Images ], Pranab Mukherjee [ Images ], Arjun Singh [ Images ], Kamal Nath all were part of the establishment then.
How can these leaders bring in the values of Shastri?
The Nehru-Gandhi dynasty culture has also played a role in minimising Shastri's legacy. When Shastri was made a minister without portfolio in the Nehru's Cabinet, he was uncomfortable. Once in a huff he told me, "I shall quit and retire to Allahabad."
While cajoling him not to entertain an such idea I said, "Nehru has you in his mind."
Shastri said, "Unke dimag main to unki putri hai. (He has his daughter in his mind as successor.)"
As soon as Shastri died the dynasty culture returned to the Congress. Shastri's message of life was that if he could become PM anybody could because he was a common man. As the Bible says the meekest shall inherit the earth, he proved it.
In 1942 (during the Quit India Movement), when he was in a jail, his daughter was ill and he was released on parole. But he could not save her life because doctors had recommended costly drugs.
Shastri never made money. In 1963, on the day when he was dropped under the Kamaraj plan I went to meet him. He was sitting in his home without a light.
"Why are you sitting in the dark?" I asked. He said, "From today all expenses will be borne by me." He told me as a MP and minister he didn't earn enough to save for his rainy day.
On that evening, I told him to turn a columnist to earn some money. So he wrote a column on Lala Lajpat Rai. That was the first syndicated column in India.
I syndicated it to four newspapers and collected Rs 500 from each. Quite a hefty sum!
The second column was on Nehru but before he could write more he was recalled to the Cabinet.
I don't see the revival of the values Shastri stood for. A day before his first press conference after becoming PM I asked him what will be your message tomorrow?
He said: "I'll tell them that during my tenure there will not be any increase in food price and as PM of India I would ask members of the Planning Commission to have one more column in their charts to show me how many jobs will be created after spending thousands of crores of rupees."
He was a man concerned about the common man of India. Can these values return to this country?
I don't think so.
The politician who made no money
ReplyDeleteMany people quote as saying that Indira Gandhi was the best PM.. or Rajiv Gandhi was the best.. some say that Jawaharlal Nehru was the best PM ever had.. but there is no mention of Shastriji..
ReplyDeleteInfact.. Shastriji was the only Prime person who was eligible for being called as the Minister..or i wud just say he truly deserves to be the "Father of the Naton" not anyone else still in 2011 we don't have any politician standing even close to him in terms of leadership..
hamare desh ko aise neta ki bahut jarurat hai but unfortunately koi neta lal bahudur shastri ji ki tarah nahi ban na chahta...
ReplyDeletedosto, aaj ke samay mei Lal Bahadur sa PM milna bahut hi muskil hai...karan aaj kal ki swartho ki rajniti desh ke netao par haawi hai...har kaam apne niji swartho par aadharit hain...aajkal ke neta Lal Bahadur Ji sa soch bhi nahi sakte...sahi maayanon mei Lal Bahdur Bharat Maa ke Sachhe sapoot the..jenhe apne desh ki fikr apno se pahle thi...aajkal ke neta unka kisi bhi aadhar par mukabala nahi kar sakte..en netao ko jara si sharm tak nahi ki woh unke sapno ko tod rahe hain..jinhone apna sab kuchh desh ke liye nyochhawar kar diya...Lal Bahadur aaj bhi pratyek Bhartiy ke liye Prerna swaroop hain...
ReplyDeleteHume har Varsh 2 October ko Shastri Diwas ke roop mein banana chahiye na ki Gandhi Jayanti
ऐसे थे हमारे शास्त्री जी।
ReplyDeleteNow i going to share incidents from Shastri Ji's life, which inspire us a lot.
एक बार शास्त्री जी की धर्मपत्नी ने शास्त्री जी की तऩख्वाह में से हर महीने एक रूपया जोड़-जोड़ कर पाँच महीने में एक सिल्क का कुर्ता शास्त्री जी के लिऐ सिलवाया। शास्त्री जी ने पूछा कि आप के पास पैसे कहाँ से आऐ तो उन्होनें शास्त्री जी को सब बता दिया। उस समय हमारा देश आर्थिक संकट से जूझ रहा था। शास्त्री जी ने उसी समय अपनी तऩख्वाह में से एक रूपया कम करवा दिया और बोले यदि पाँच करोड़ लोग जिनकी आमदनी मेरे जितनी या मुझसे ज़्यादा है, हर महीने एक रूपये की बचत करें तो देश का आर्थिक संकट दो तीन वर्षों में ही समाप्त हो जाऐगा।
Lal Bahadur Shastri used to swim across a river to go to school since he didn't had money travel in a boat.. one day the boatman of the river offered him free passage over the river in his boat.. but Shastriji denied him.. and swam across the river..
ReplyDeleteone unknown fact- INDIRA GANDHI KILLED HIM IN THE LIEU OF BECAMING THE P.M. OF INDIA EVEN TODAY U WONT FIND SHASTRIJIS PHOTOS IN ANY OF CONGERSS HOARDINGS
