क्या हम आज़ाद है?

' ऐ मेरे वत न के लो गों , जरा आँखों में भर लो पानी ...' इन शब्दों ने मेरी   नींद तब उड़ा दी जब   मैने इ से नगर निगम कि  घोषणा समझी | पिछ्ले दो दिनो से हम प्यासे जो थे | पर जैसे ही मेने ख़ुद को सम्भाला , मु झे   याद आया कि 63 वर्ष पूर्व आ ज   ही के   दिन, हम ने एक गणतंत्र साम्राज्य कि रचना कि थी | वैसा साम्राज्य जहाँ सब आज़ाद होंगे , सब एक समान होंगे , सबको अपना मत रखने का हक होगा | वो अलग बात है   कि पिछ्ले दिनों कुछ " बाबाओं और नेताओं " ने इसके दुश प्रभाव का उदाहरण प्रस्तुत किया है | आज देश तीन रंग से सराबोर रहेगा | लोग अपने सीने पे , गाड़ियों के डैश बोर्ड पर , तिरं गा लगाएँगे | मैं ने भी आज के दिन सफेद   कुर्ता पहन   कर , तिरंगे झंडे को सीने से लगा कर घूमना अपना फर्ज़   समझा | अपने हिस्से कि देश भक्ति दिखने कि खातिर और ख़ुद को आज़ाद ' समझते ' हुए , मै भी सीना चौड़ा करके निकल पड़ा देश भ्रमण के   लि...

The story is about how blight fell on the city of Erebor when fire-breathing dragons, hungry for gold attacked it. This drove the dwarf inhabitants to exile. This leads to the invitation from Gandalf to a younger and more reluctant Hobbit, Bilbo Baggins. He was emotionally conned to join the dwarves as ...
