Mahatma Gandhi was the master of the communication


Mahatma Gandhi was the master of the communication


Mahatma Gandhi (2 October 1869-30 January 1948) was determined to fight the freedom struggle through non-violence and had an infallible weapon in this war and that was the newspaper. He said that no struggle based on internal power can be carried on without a newspaper.

Gandhi Ji started his journalistic career in 1891 with the "Vegetarian" newspaper from South Africa. In this newspaper, he used to write articles regularly.


He worked as a correspondent for Dada Bhai Naroji's newspaper "India" at  Darbun in Johannesburg. During the Boer war (1899-1902) he used to write his war experiences for The Times of India.

In the same war, his political opponent Churchill also worked as a war correspondent for The Morning Post and The Pioneer in1903.


Mahatma Gandhi started The Indian Opinion newspaper in 1903, which was printed in English and Hindi as well as in Gujarati and Tamil.
The situation was such that every young man, including Gandhi, had to sweat to operate the machine.


Having returned to India, Gandhi Ji started Navjivan in 1917 and Young India in 1918. Against the Rowlatt Act, he took out a Satyagrahi newspaper without registration.

 The Harijan newspaper was started by him in 1933. Bapu himself used to write every word of it. Bapu, who could express great thoughts in the minimum words like a mantra, wrote in Indian Opinion- "The first aim of journalism is to understand and give expression to public sentiments." 

The second task is to arouse the necessary emotions and the third task is to expose the disturbances boldly.

ध्यानी नहीं शिव सारस

!!देव संस्कृति विश्विद्यालय में स्थपित प्रज्ञेश्वर महादेव!! ध्यानी नहीं शिव सारसा, ग्यानी सा गोरख।  ररै रमै सूं निसतिरयां, कोड़ अठासी रिख।। साभार : हंसा तो मोती चुगैं पुस्तक से शिव जैसा ध्यानी नहीं है। ध्यानी हो तो शिव जैसा हो। क्या अर्थ है? ध्यान का अर्थ होता हैः न विचार, वासना, न स्मृति, न कल्पना। ध्यान का अर्थ होता हैः भीतर सिर्फ होना मात्र। इसीलिए शिव को मृत्यु का, विध्वंस का, विनाश का देवता कहा है। क्योंकि ध्यान विध्वंस है--विध्वंस है मन का। मन ही संसार है। मन ही सृजन है। मन ही सृष्टि है। मन गया कि प्रलय हो गई। ऐसा मत सोचो कि किसी दिन प्रलय होती है। ऐसा मत सोचो कि एक दिन आएगा जब प्रलय हो जाएगी और सब विध्वंस हो जाएगा। नहीं, जो भी ध्यान में उतरता है, उसकी प्रलय हो जाती है। जो भी ध्यान में उतरता है, उसके भीतर शिव का पदार्पण हो जाता है। ध्यान है मृत्यु--मन की मृत्यु, "मैं" की मृत्यु, विचार का अंत। शुद्ध चैतन्य रह जाए--दर्पण जैसा खाली! कोई प्रतिबिंब न बने। तो एक तो यात्रा है ध्यान की। और फिर ध्यान से ही ज्ञान का जन्म होता है। जो ज्ञान ध्यान के बिना तुम इकट्ठा ...

Eugene Onegin Aur Vodka Onegin: Alexander Pushkin Ki Zindagi Ka Ek Mazahiya Jaam

Eugene Onegin Aur Vodka Onegin: Pushkin Ki Zindagi Ka Ek Mazahiya Jaam Zindagi Ka Nasha Aur Eugene Onegin Ka Afsoos: Socho, tum ek zabardast party mein ho, jahan sabhi log high society ke hain, par tumhare dil mein bas boredom chhaya hua hai. Yeh hai Alexander Pushkin ki 'Eugene Onegin' , jo ek novel in verse hai, romance, tragedy, aur biting satire ka zabardast mix. Humara hero, Eugene Onegin , ek aise top-shelf Vodka ki tarah hai—expensive, beautifully packaged, lekin andar se khali. Aaj hum is classic work ko explore karte hain aur dekhte hain ki kaise Onegin ka jeevan Vodka Onegin ke saath correlate karta hai—dono mein ek hi chiz hai: regret! Jab baat regret ki hoti hai, toh thoda humor aur satire toh banta hai, nahi? Eugene Onegin—Ek Bottle Vodka Jo Koi Kholta Hi Nahi " Eugene Onegin" ka character bilkul aise hai jaise ek exquisite Vodka bottle, jo shelf par toh chamakti hai, par koi bhi usko taste nahi karta. Woh paisa, charm, aur social status ke saath hai,...
