    بھارت سونے کی چڑیا کیسے بنا حقائق جاننے کی کوشش کریں اور اپنے علم میں اضافہ کریں

    ….…………………………………

     

    کیا ہندوستان شروع دن سے ہی سونے کی چڑیا تھا یا اِسے باقاعدہ سونے کی چڑیا بنایا گیا تھا؟ کیا مغلوں سے پہلے بھی ہندوستان سونے کی چڑیا تھا؟ یا اسے سونے کی چڑیا بنانے میں مغلوں کا بھی کوئی کردار تھا؟ آئیے! حقائق تک پہنچنے کے لئے دنیا کے نامور محققین اور مورخین کی کتابیں کھنگالتے ہیں۔ مثال کے طور پر ڈاکٹر کارل جے شیمتھ کو ہی لے لیں، ڈاکٹر کارل امریکہ کی سب سے قدیم جامعہ ساو¿تھ ڈکوٹا یونیورسٹی میں علم تاریخ اور سیاسیات کے استاد، تاریخ دان اور محقق ہیں۔

    ڈاکٹر کارل نے اپنی کتاب ”این اٹلس اینڈ سروے آف ساو¿تھ ایشین ہسٹری“ میں اُن لوگوں کو بالخصوص آڑھے ہاتھوں لیا ہے جو مغل شہنشاہوں اور مغلیہ سلطنت کا مذاق اُڑاتے نہیں تھکتے۔ اپنی کتاب کے صفحہ 45 پر ڈاکٹر کارل نے لکھا ہے کہ ”سترہویں صدی میں مغلوں کے دور میں ہندوستان کی معیشت دنیا کی ایک بڑی معیشت تھی، جس کی وجہ سے ہندوستان دنیا کا خوشحال ترین خطہ تھا“۔ کیمبرج یونیورسٹی کے سابق پروفیسر ڈاکٹر اینگس میڈیسن نے ”عالمی معیشت اور تاریخی اعداد و شمار“ کے نام سے اپنی تحقیقی کاوش کے صفحہ 256 پر دیے گئے جدول میں بتایا ہے کہ ”سترہویں صدی کے آغاز میں ہندوستان کی جی ڈی پی یعنی مجموعی ملکی پیداوار چین کی منگ سلطنت کے بعد دوسرے نمبر پر آتی تھی، اس وقت دنیا کی مجموعی پیداوار کا 22 فیصد ہندوستان میں پیدا ہوتا تھا اور یہ مجموعی ملکی پیداوار سارے یورپ کی مجموعی جی ڈی پی سے زیادہ تھی، سترہویں صدی کے اختتام تک یعنی اورنگزیب عالمگیر رح کے دور میں یہ جی ڈی پی 24 فیصد سے زیادہ ہوچکی تھی جو کہ چین اور سارے یورپ کی مجموعی جی ڈی پی سے بھی زیادہ تھی“۔ یہی وہ دور تھا، جب اہل مغرب نے ہندوستان کو سونے کی چڑیا کہنا شروع کیا اور پھر اچھے مستقبل کی تلاش میں باقاعدہ ہندوستانک ا رخ کرلیا۔ز

    ”یورپ کیوں امیر ہوا اور ایشیا امیر کیوں نہ ہوسکا؟ “ کے نام سے بوسٹن کالج کے پروفیسر ڈاکٹر پراسنان پراتھا سراتھی لکھتے ہیں کہ ”مغل دور میں ہندوستان مینوفیکچرنگ کے شعبے میں دنیا میں پہلے نمبر پر آتا تھا“۔ اِسی طرح ہارورڈ یونیورسٹی میں معاشیات کے پروفیسر ڈاکٹرجیفری گیل ولیم سن نے ”اٹھارہویں اور انیسویں صدی میں ہندوستان میں صنعتی انحطاط“ نامی اپنی تحقیقی کاوش میں بتایا ہے کہ ”مغل دور میں ساری دنیا کی 25 فیصد مینوفیکچرنگ صرف ہندوستان میں ہورہی تھیں“۔

    ڈاکٹر اینگس میڈیسن نے ”عالمی معیشت اور تاریخی اعداد و شمار“ میں مزید لکھا کہ ”مغل دور میں ہندوستان کی مجموعی ملکی پیداوار میں جس برق رفتاری سے اضافہ ہوا، اس کی مغلوں سے پہلے کے ہندوستان کی چار ہزار سالہ تاریخ میں کوئی نظیر نہیں ملتی! مغل دور کے پہلے دو سو سالہ دور میں ہونے والی ترقی ہندوستان کی معلوم تاریخ کی چار ہزار سالہ تاریخ کی ترقی سے سو گنا زیادہ تھی“۔ اسی طرح ڈچ مورخ لیکس ہیرما وین واس نے ”متحدہ ہندوستان کے ٹیکسٹائل یعنی کپڑے کی برامدکنندگان اور گلوبلائزیشن“ کے عنوان سے اپنی کتاب میں مغل دور کی معیشت کو جدید صنعتی دور کی اساس قرار دیتے ہوئے لکھا ہے کہ یہ بالکل ایسے ہی تھا جیسے صنعتی انقلاب سے پہلے یورپ انقلاب کی بنیادیں استوار کرچکا تھا۔

    اورنگزیب عالمگیر رح کے دور میں ہندوستان بلاشبہ سونے کی چڑیا بن چکا تھا، لیکن یہ سب کچھ ایسے ہی خودبخود ہی نہیں ہوگیا تھا، بلکہ اس کے لئے مغلوں نے مضبوط بنیادیں فراہم کردی تھیں۔ جنوبی کیرولینا کی ڈیوک یونیورسٹی میں تاریخ کے استاد اور امور مغلیہ کے معروف عالم جان ایف رچرڈز نے اس کی تفصیل اپنی تحقیقی کاوش ”دی مغل ایمپائر“ میں رقم کی ہے، جان ایف رچرڈز کا کہنا ہے کہ ”ہندوستان کو سونے کی چڑیا بنانے کے لئے مغلوں نے تین بنیادی کام کیے، اول سلطنت کے اندر شاہراہوں کا جال بچھایا گیا، مختلف علاقوں کو آپس میں پختہ سڑکوں سے ایسے ملادیا گیا کہ دہلی سے سلطنت کے کسی بھی حصے تک محض دو دن پہنچا جاسکتا تھا، دوسرا کام یہ کیا گیا کہ ملک میں ایک یکساں کرنسی رائج کی گئی اور سابق بیرونی حکمرانوں کی طرح درہم یا دینار رائج کرنے کی بجائے تجارت اور لین دین کے لئے مقامی کرنسی“ روپیہ ”کو رائج کیا گیا، اس سے روپے کو مضبوط بنانے کے ساتھ ساتھ معیشت کومضبوط بنیادوں پر استوار کرنے میں بھی بہت مدد ملی، جبکہ تیسرا اور سب سے اہم کام سارے ہندوستان کو متحد کرنا تھا“۔
    عالمگیر کے دور میں جب سارا ہندوستان تاج مغلیہ کے زیرنگیں آگیا تو ہندوستان حقیقت میں سونے کی چڑیا بن چکا تھا، جس کے بعد مغربی ممالک اپنی قسمت آزمانے کے لئے دھڑادھڑ ہندوستان پہنچنا شروع ہوگئے۔ ڈاکٹر کارل جے شیمتھ نے بھی اپنی کتاب میں جان ایف رچرڈز کی تائید کی ہے۔ ڈاکٹر کارل رقم طراز ہیں کہ ”مغلوں نے دنیا کا پہلا پبلک ورکس ڈیپارٹمنٹ ہندوستان میں قائم کیا، جس کا مقصد ہندوستان میں سڑکیں اور شاہراہیں تعمیر کے منصوبے تیار کرنا، شاہراہیں تعمیر کرنا اور بعد از تعمیر اِن سڑکوں کی مکمل دیکھ بھال اور باقاعدگی سے مرمت کرنا تھا۔
    مغل دور میں ہندوستان کا کوئی شہر یا قصبہ ایسا نہیں تھا، جو سڑکوں کے ذریعے اپنے اردگرد کے شہروں اور قصبات کے ساتھ نہ ملا ہوا ہو، سڑکوں کی تعمیر کا مقصد تجارت میں آسانی، روانی اور تیزی لانا تھا ”۔ گرینڈ ٹرنک روڈ کا بنیادی منصوبہ بابر کے دور میں بنا، شیر شاہ سوری نے اس پر عمل کیا اور بعد میں مغلوں نے جی ٹی روڈ کو اس دور کی“ موٹروے ”کے مطابق بنایا، یہی حال ملک میں بنائی جانے والی دوسری سڑکوں اور شاہراہوں کا بھی تھا۔

    مغلوں نے متحدہ ہندوستان کو جن بنیادوں پر دنیا کی مضبوط، بڑی اور بہترین معیشت کے قالب میں ڈھالا، وہ کسی بھی معیشت کی ترقی کے لئے بنیادی اجزا اور عناصر سمجھے جاتے ہیں، مغل سلطنت کے بنیادی اصول
    اس تحریر کا مقصد وہ حقائق سامنے لانا ہے، جن کا اعتراف مکمل غیرجانبدار محققین نے اپنی کتب میں کیا ہے، ہندوستان بجاطور پر مغل دور میں سونے کی چڑیا بنا اور یہ کام مغلوں نے کیا، لیکن صرف اپنے لیے نہیں بلکہ تمام ہندوستانیوں کے لئے، حتیٰ کہ غیر ہندوستانیوں کے لئے بھی! یہ سونے کی چڑیا آنے والی دو صدیوں میں کس طرح زوال اور انحطاط کا شکار ہوئی، آئندہ تحریروں میں اس پر بات ہوگی، فی الحال اس تحریر کا مقصد یہ بتانا بھی ہے کہ مسلمانوں کی عظمت رفتہ کی کہانی بہت رفتہ بھی نہیں ہے، بلکہ یہ ابھی کل کے متحدہ ہندوستان کی بات ہے! ہمارا یہ روشن ماضی اتنا قدیم بھی نہیں ہے جسے چھوا نہ جاسکے! یہ ماضی بعید نہیں ماضی قریب کی ہی کہانی ہے! اور بالکل سچی کہانی ہے، جس کا اعتراف مخالفین بھی کرنے پر مجبور ہیں!

  • Bring back Abhinandan’ says slain CRPF personnel’s widow, wants ‘Indo-Pak dialogue not war

    Bring back Abhinandan’ says slain CRPF personnel’s widow, wants ‘Indo-Pak dialogue not war

     

     

    GNS SPECIAL REPORTER

    Kolkata: , Feb 28 (PTI) The widow of slain CRPF personnel Bablu Santra Thursday urged both India and Pakistan to hold talks instead of escalating tensions.

    She also urged the Narendra Modi government to ensure the safe release of Indian Air Force (IAF) pilot Abhinandan Varthaman, captured by Pakistan on Wednesday.

    Mita Santra, widowed on February 14 in a suicide bomb attack on a CRPF convoy that claimed 40 lives including that of her husband, said she was not worried about criticism on social media over her anti-war stand.

    “We should give dialogue a chance instead of war that will lead to loss of so many more lives,” Santra told PTI while urging the government of India to make all efforts to ensure Varthaman’s return.

    “I urge our government to engage with that of Pakistan to get back Wing Commander Abhinandan Varthaman safely,” she added.

    Varthaman was captured following a fierce engagement between air forces of the two sides along the Line of Control in which a Pakistani F-16 jet was downed.

    The IAF also lost a MiG 21 Bison jet being flown by Varthaman.

    Apart from the loss of human lives, war leaves an indelible mark on economic and social front affecting the people of countries involved, Santra said.

    It is natural that the armed forces will have to go to war and make the ultimate sacrifice, but the Indian government must ensure their security, she said.

    “I want security of the forces to be ensured. All the forces, be it the Army or the paramilitary like CRPF or ITBP, are of the government of India and it is the duty of the government to take necessary measures to ensure their security,” she said.

    Santra said she was not bothered about social media trolls criticising her stand on war, adding that if one person has criticised her, ten others appreciated her approach.

    Following the death of her husband in the car bomb attack on the CRPF convoy by Pakistan-based terror outfit Jaish-e-Mohammed in Pulwama, Santra had said that war should be avoided as it will snuff out the lives of many more on both sides of the border, leaving women widowed, mothers without sons and children without fathers.

    “After February 14, nothing touches me. Anybody can say anything, I am not worried,” said the mother of a six-year-old girl, who has a masters degree in modern history and teaches in a private school.

    However, she wondered if those criticising her had a family member serving in the armed forces.

    “Sitting in their homes, some people are saying so many things, but do they have any of their family members in the Army, Air Force, Navy or paramilitary forces?” she asked.

    Stating that she has been offered a compensatory job in the CRPF, Santra said she has not yet decided on taking it as the transferrable job will come in the way of taking care of her aged mother-in-law.

    “I want a job in the West Bengal government as was promised by ministers who visited our house following my husband’s death,” she said.“`
