‘राजपूताना जहाज़’
बंबई में आज सबेरे से ही चहल-पहल थी। महात्मा जी कुछ काल के लिए भारतवर्ष में न रहेंगे, सबके चेहरे से यही भाव झलक रहा था। मुझे तो सद्भाग्य से ही यह संयोग मिल गया है कि जिस बोट से गांधी जी और मालवीयजी जाते हैं, उसी से मैं भी जा रहा हूँ। जब जहाज़ में जगह ली थी, तब तो यह निश्चित था कि महात्मा जी आर.टी.सी. में ना जाएँगे, किंतु विधि ने तो पहले से ही निश्चित कर रखा था कि गांधी जी को विलायत जाना है और ‘विधि का रचा मेटनहारा?'
बंगले से चलकर बंदर पर पहुँचा तो फ़ोटो लेने वाले पागल दर्जनों के तादात में मुझ पर टूट पड़े। न मालूम कितने प्लेट उन्होंने बर्बाद किए। पच्चीस से कम तो न थे। स्वदेशी धन को विदेश इस तरह भेजा जाता है! आख़िर मेरे फ़ोटो की क़ीमत?
जहाज़ पर सवार होने के थोड़ी ही देर बाद महात्मा गांधी की जयध्वनी से आकाश गूँज उठा। बस सब लोग समझ गए कि गांधी जी आ रहे है। सारे जहाज़ में चहल-पहल मच गई। क्या हिंदुस्तानी, क्या अंग्रेज़, स्त्री पुरुष दौड़-दौड़ कर मौक़े के स्थान पर क़ब्ज़ा जमाने लगे। बंदर से आधी मील की दूरी तन के सभी मकानों की छते खचाखच भरी थी। चारों ओर से जय-जय! जहाज़ के ऊपर पहुँचने में महात्मा जी को काफ़ी कष्ट हुआ। मगर अंग्रेज़ मल्लाहों ने किसी तरह हाथों की बाड़ बना कर ऊपर तक पहुँचाया और सुरक्षित स्थान में खड़ा कर दिया। वहीं से किनारे के लोगों को महात्मा जी दर्शन देते रहे। क्या विचित्र दृश्य था! आर. टी. सी. में जो लोग पहले गए थे वे जनता के प्रतिनिधि हैं, या एक मन वज़न का दुबले-पतले शरीर वाला गांधी प्रतिनिधि है, इस बात की गवाही लोगो का भाव दे रहा था। इतने में ही थोड़ी-थोड़ी वर्षा होने लगी। मानो इंद्र भी विदाई के आँसू बहा रहा था। किंतु लोग अपनी जगह से न हटे। जहाज़ का घंटा हुआ। फिर दूसरा घंटा हुआ। तीसरा घंटा हो जाने पर लोगों को स्मरण हुआ कि आख़िर में हमें जहाज़ से उतरना है। वे किनारे उतरे, मगर आँखें सबकी गांधी जी कि ओर लगी थी। वल्लभभाई के चेहरे पर विषाद था। जवाहरलालजी के चेहरे पर मुस्कुराहट। पंडित जी अभी पहुँचे भी न थे। सब लोग पूछते थे— “मालवीय जी अभी नहीं आए?” आख़िर ऐन मौक़े पर पहुँचे।
जहाज़ ने लंगर उठाया और धीरे-धीरे सरका, तब कहीं पता लगा कि हम लोग जाने वाले है। रामेश्वर, ब्रजमोहन रुमाल हिला-हिला कर संकेत कर रहे थे। पर में तो विचित्र दशा में गोते खा रहा था। एल छोटे-से दुबले पतले आदमी ने लोगों को कैसा मोहित कर लिया है, इसी पर विचार कर रहा था। किंतु जहाज़ चलने लगा तो याद पड़ा कि जा रहा हूँ। ज्यों-ज्यों जहाज़ और किनारे के बीच का अंतराय बढ़ता गया, त्यों-त्यों मन तेज़ी के साथ किनारे की ओर दौड़ लगाने लगा। शायद किनारे के लोगों की भी यही हालत थी। आख़िर आँखों ने काम देना बंद कर दिया और लोगो को पहचानना भी मुश्किल हो गया। तब कानों से जयनाद सुनते रहे। अंत में तो समुद्र का खूं-खूं रह गया। हिंदुस्तान का तो अब नामुनिशान भी नहीं। चारों तरफ़ पानी-ही-पानी और उसके बीच हमारी छोटी-सी दुनिया— “राजपूताना जहाज़!”

bangle se chal kar bandarpar pahuncha to photo lene wale pagal darjnon ke tadat mein mujh par toot paDe na malum kitne plate unhonnen barbad kiye pachchis se kam to na the swadeshi dhan ko widesh is tarah bheja jata hai! akhir mere photo ki kimat?

jahaz par maryada pray; bhang ho gai hai 1927 mein main aaya tha to kapDon ka swang rachna paDa tha raat ke kapDe, din ke kapDe, pura jhamela tha ghanta bhar to prayah kapDe badalne mein hi lagta tha dhoti kurta pahanna to mano gunah tha ab ki ber ye haal hai ki dhoti kurte wale jahaz par bekhatak phirte hai na to coat puchhne wala hai, na kisi ko sankoch hai mujhe ab malum hone laga hai ki apne dhuti kurte chhoD aaya, ye galti hui jahaz ke musafi, kaptan waghairah bhi dhoti kurte ko bardasht kar lete hai yon to unhen bura hi lagta hoga, par shimle ka adesh hai ka gandhi ke aram ka dhyan rakho, isiliye sab kuch bardasht kar lete hai
panDit ji ke liye chulha alag ban gaya hai gangajal bhi sath hai mitti ka kanastar, swadeshi sabun, dataunon ka baDa sa banDal udhar gandhi ji ka charkha, pijan, baDi baDi wichitr chizen sath chhal rahi hai jahaz wale bhi dekhte hai ki ye shiwji ki barat achchhi i aate jate tirchhi nazar Dal jate hai, par upar se pura adab dikhate hai
jahaz chalte hi gandhi ji ne apna asbab sambhalna shuru kiya is trank mein kya hai usmen kya hai? ye puchhatachh shuru ho gai bechari mirben to jhat samajh gai ki tufan aane wala hai mahadew aur dewdas to bambai gandhi ji ke sath hi pahunche the isliye sare prbandh ka bhaar miraben ke upar hi tha aur jahan gandhi ji ne hisab puchhna shuru kiya , mera samajh gai ki khair nahin hai pahle pahal to gandhi ji ne puchha, is trank mein kya hai? mera ne kaha— bapu, ismen aapke kapDe hai gandhi ji ne kaha mere kapDe hai? itne baDe trank mein? mera ne kaha— lekin ye bhara hua nahin hai gandhi jee— han, to tum ise bhar dena chahti thi, ye nahin socha ki hindustan mein to mere kapDe bina trank ke hi chalte the
mera ne trank kholkar samagriyan samne rakhi to gandhi ji ka chehra lal ho gaya saman zyada na tha, kintu ek bhi paisa adhik kharch ho, ye gandhi ji ko ashay tha petiyan sari mangni mein lai gai thi, kintu gandhi ji ko santosh na hua pura ghanta to unhen apni manDli ko dhamkane mein hi laga ant mein ye tay hua ki thoDa sa saman chhoDkar baqi adan se wapas kar diya jaye gandhi ji bole— “ aaj to main is saman ko dekhkar ghabra gaya hoon kaghaz rakhne ke liye bhi ye log peti laye hai, mano main ab purani adton ko chhoDne wala hoon ”
panch baje apne baithne ka sthan chunne ke liye gandhi ji chhat par aaye mainne kaha— “jahaz ka antim hissa to bahut hilta hai isliye kafi kashtaprad hai— ek minat bhi mujhse to yahan khaDa nahin raha jata , isliye ise dekhana hi fizul hai ” jahaz ke beech ka hissa hi dekh le aur mere lakh wirodh karne par bhi jahaz ke antim hisse ka ek khatarnak kona pasand kiya main to hakka bakka sa rah gaya kya koi samajhdar manushya aisi taklif se bhari hui nikammi jagah pasand kar sakta hai? kintu— “yasyan jagrati bhutani sa nisha pashyto muneh”
gandhi ji ki wichar shrrinkhla ye thi ki jo sthan achchha hai, wahan hamare baithne se kisi ko kasht ho sakta hai, achchhe sthan mein ekant bhi sambhaw nahin— isliye ye bura sthan hi hamare liye achchha hai— mainen kaptan tak dauD dhoop ki, unka wichar badle, iski kafi koshish ki par “hazarte dagh jahan baith gaye baith gaye!” gandhi ji to tas se mas bhi na hue akhir panDit ji ne apna zor azmana shuru kiya unhonne agrah kiya ki gandhi ji pharst ka ticket badla le sandhya samay ghumte ghumte mainne bhi thoDa agrah kiya gandhi ji ne puchha— ki tum kyon agrah karne lage? mainne kaha— aapne ticket to sekanD ka liya hai kintu apaki pratishtha ke karan pharst ke tamam haq aapko swtah mil jayenge pharst ki chhat par kanat laga kar aapke liye pararthna ghar banwa diya hai, kya ye uchit nahin ki aap pharst ke paise hi de den? gandhi ji ne kaha— nahin is dalil se to ye sar nikalta hai ki hum pharst ke tamam haqon ko swayan tyag den natija ye hua ki gandhi ji ne pharst ki chhat par ghumna usi samay band kar diya pararthna ki kanat to ek hi din kaam i aaj to unhonne pararthna apne nikamme sthan par hi ki
pararthna karte samay jahan gandhi ji dhyan karte the, wahan main ye sochta tha ki bhagwan, pararthna samapt ho to yahan se uthun baithne wale do minat mein hi aadhe bimar ho jate hai waman nahin hua, ye khairiyat kahte hai jahan chand suraj ki gati nahin hai, wahan bhagwan wirajte hain hamare jahaz ke bare mein ye kuch ansh mein kaha ja sakta hai jahan bhale adamiyon ki hosh hawas ke sath gati nahin hai, wahan gandhi ji wirajte hai koi milne wala jata hai, to ek minat se zyada rukna bhi pasand nahin karta bambai se chalte hi samudr tufani ho gaya isliye gandhi ji ka sthan aisa rahta, jaise hindustan ka Dolar hiDa

jahaz par maryada pray; bhang ho gai hai 1927 mein main aaya tha to kapDon ka swang rachna paDa tha raat ke kapDe, din ke kapDe, pura jhamela tha ghanta bhar to prayah kapDe badalne mein hi lagta tha dhoti kurta pahanna to mano gunah tha ab ki ber ye haal hai ki dhoti kurte wale jahaz par bekhatak phirte hai na to coat puchhne wala hai, na kisi ko sankoch hai mujhe ab malum hone laga hai ki apne dhuti kurte chhoD aaya, ye galti hui jahaz ke musafi, kaptan waghairah bhi dhoti kurte ko bardasht kar lete hai yon to unhen bura hi lagta hoga, par shimle ka adesh hai ka gandhi ke aram ka dhyan rakho, isiliye sab kuch bardasht kar lete hai
panDit ji ke liye chulha alag ban gaya hai gangajal bhi sath hai mitti ka kanastar, swadeshi sabun, dataunon ka baDa sa banDal udhar gandhi ji ka charkha, pijan, baDi baDi wichitr chizen sath chhal rahi hai jahaz wale bhi dekhte hai ki ye shiwji ki barat achchhi i aate jate tirchhi nazar Dal jate hai, par upar se pura adab dikhate hai
jahaz chalte hi gandhi ji ne apna asbab sambhalna shuru kiya is trank mein kya hai usmen kya hai? ye puchhatachh shuru ho gai bechari mirben to jhat samajh gai ki tufan aane wala hai mahadew aur dewdas to bambai gandhi ji ke sath hi pahunche the isliye sare prbandh ka bhaar miraben ke upar hi tha aur jahan gandhi ji ne hisab puchhna shuru kiya , mera samajh gai ki khair nahin hai pahle pahal to gandhi ji ne puchha, is trank mein kya hai? mera ne kaha— bapu, ismen aapke kapDe hai gandhi ji ne kaha mere kapDe hai? itne baDe trank mein? mera ne kaha— lekin ye bhara hua nahin hai gandhi jee— han, to tum ise bhar dena chahti thi, ye nahin socha ki hindustan mein to mere kapDe bina trank ke hi chalte the
mera ne trank kholkar samagriyan samne rakhi to gandhi ji ka chehra lal ho gaya saman zyada na tha, kintu ek bhi paisa adhik kharch ho, ye gandhi ji ko ashay tha petiyan sari mangni mein lai gai thi, kintu gandhi ji ko santosh na hua pura ghanta to unhen apni manDli ko dhamkane mein hi laga ant mein ye tay hua ki thoDa sa saman chhoDkar baqi adan se wapas kar diya jaye gandhi ji bole— “ aaj to main is saman ko dekhkar ghabra gaya hoon kaghaz rakhne ke liye bhi ye log peti laye hai, mano main ab purani adton ko chhoDne wala hoon ”
panch baje apne baithne ka sthan chunne ke liye gandhi ji chhat par aaye mainne kaha— “jahaz ka antim hissa to bahut hilta hai isliye kafi kashtaprad hai— ek minat bhi mujhse to yahan khaDa nahin raha jata , isliye ise dekhana hi fizul hai ” jahaz ke beech ka hissa hi dekh le aur mere lakh wirodh karne par bhi jahaz ke antim hisse ka ek khatarnak kona pasand kiya main to hakka bakka sa rah gaya kya koi samajhdar manushya aisi taklif se bhari hui nikammi jagah pasand kar sakta hai? kintu— “yasyan jagrati bhutani sa nisha pashyto muneh”
gandhi ji ki wichar shrrinkhla ye thi ki jo sthan achchha hai, wahan hamare baithne se kisi ko kasht ho sakta hai, achchhe sthan mein ekant bhi sambhaw nahin— isliye ye bura sthan hi hamare liye achchha hai— mainen kaptan tak dauD dhoop ki, unka wichar badle, iski kafi koshish ki par “hazarte dagh jahan baith gaye baith gaye!” gandhi ji to tas se mas bhi na hue akhir panDit ji ne apna zor azmana shuru kiya unhonne agrah kiya ki gandhi ji pharst ka ticket badla le sandhya samay ghumte ghumte mainne bhi thoDa agrah kiya gandhi ji ne puchha— ki tum kyon agrah karne lage? mainne kaha— aapne ticket to sekanD ka liya hai kintu apaki pratishtha ke karan pharst ke tamam haq aapko swtah mil jayenge pharst ki chhat par kanat laga kar aapke liye pararthna ghar banwa diya hai, kya ye uchit nahin ki aap pharst ke paise hi de den? gandhi ji ne kaha— nahin is dalil se to ye sar nikalta hai ki hum pharst ke tamam haqon ko swayan tyag den natija ye hua ki gandhi ji ne pharst ki chhat par ghumna usi samay band kar diya pararthna ki kanat to ek hi din kaam i aaj to unhonne pararthna apne nikamme sthan par hi ki
