"रामायण के लक्ष्मण या महाभारत के कर्ण में से शक्तिशाली कौन थे?" आदर के साथ कहना चाहूंगा कि आपका ये प्रश्न ही अनुचित है। पौराणिक पात्रों की तुलना करते समय हम जो सबसे बड़ी गलती करते हैं, वो वही है जो आपने अपने इस प्रश्न में की है। सदा स्मरण रखें कि कभी भी किसी दो के योद्धाओं की तुलना आपस मे ना करें क्योंकि वो तर्कसंगत नही है। बात यहाँ लक्ष्मण और कर्ण की नहीं है, बात ये भी नहीं है कि कर्ण के स्थान पर यहाँ अर्जुन होते, द्रोण होते, भीष्म होते या कोई और। बात ये है कि एक त्रेतायुग के योद्धा की तुलना एक द्वापरयुग के योद्धा से करना ही गलत है। आपको मेरे उत्तर से निराशा हो सकती है क्यूंकि मैं यहाँ लक्ष्मण और कर्ण का कोई भी तुलनात्मक अध्ययन नहीं करने वाला हूँ। इसका एक कारण ये भी है कि लक्ष्मण से कर्ण या अर्जुन की तुलना करना भी वीरवर लक्ष्मण का अपमान होगा। मैं बस ये साफ़ करना चाहता हूँ कि इस प्रकार के कपोलकल्पना से भरे प्रश्न क्यों अनुचित हैं। अगर आप मुझसे सहमत ना हों तो क्षमा चाहूँगा। जब हम अपने धर्मग्रंथों को पढ़ते हैं तो कई ग्रंथों, विशेषकर पुराणों में अलग-अलग युगों के व्यक्तियों के ...
11th January, 1966:
The Prime Minister of India, Lal
Bahadur Shastri dies in Tashkent.
24th January, 1966:
India’s top nuclear scientist, Homi Jehangir Baba vanishes.
Same month, same mystery.
Lal Bahadur Shastri. Homi Jehangir Bhabha.
One poisoned in a Soviet villa.
One swallowed by French snow.
And a nation… too scared to ask why?
What if India’s greatest minds were not lost…
…but eliminated?
Let me lay out some facts.
No filters.
No fiction.
And then,
you decide.
You carry the question home.
Because some truths
don’t scream.
They whisper.
And they wait.
The year of 1964.
China tests its first nuclear bomb.
The world watches.
India trembles.
But one man stands tall.
Dr. Homi Bhabha.
A Scientist.
A Visionary.
And may be... a threat.
To whom?
That is the question.
Late 1964.
He walks into the Prime Minister’s office.
Shastri listens.
No filters.
No committees.
Just two patriots.
And a decision that could change India forever.
The year of1965.
Shastri says yes.
To underground nuclear testing.
For the first time, a PM gives a scientist the green light to dream dangerously.
Then the drums of war.
August 1965.
Pakistan attacks.
India fights back.
January, 1966.
Tashkent peace talks.
Brokered by the Soviets.
Signed in cold rooms,
with colder intentions.
Then it happens.
11th January,1966..
Shastri dies.
Midnight.
Soviet villa.
Blue lips.
Burning throat.
Cyanide?
His wife demanded an autopsy.
India said no.
No questions.
No report.
Just silence.
13 days later.
24th January.
Homi Bhabha boards Air India Flight 101.
A Boeing 707 named Kanchenjunga.
Carrying ideas too heavy for one plane.
It crashes into Mont Blanc.
France blames pilot error.
India nods.
No black box.
No crash site access.
No truth.
Same day,
Indira Gandhi becomes Prime Minister.
Coincidence?
Or convenience?
You decide.
Within two weeks,
India loses its Prime Minister
and its nuclear foundee/father.
No post-mortem.
No answers.
The files?
Still classified.
RTIs denied.
Tashkent files.
Bhabha files.
Sealed in steel.
Why?
Who feared a nuclear India?
The West?
The Soviets?
Or someone closer?
This is not a conspiracy.
It is a cold case.
Frozen in diplomacy.
Buried in archives.
Too dangerous to open.
Too important to ignore.
May be they were not
killed.
May be they just…
stood in the way.
And when you do that in geopolitics,
Your heart stops.
Your plane falls.
Your helicopter crashes.
And your legacy is rewritten in whispers.
Are we still free if we cannot ask?
Or do we only think were free…
because we stopped asking?
Someone is still watching.
From the dark.
Just make sure
you are watching back.
Let that haunt us all.
