Today, is Basant Panchmi. The day when one worships Saraswati Jee-The God of Vidya and all kinds of education in India. We remember during our childhood the Saraswati Puja was celebrated with much fan and fervour. Girls, use to wear Sarees and also the guys were dressed in best.
After, the Puja people use to flock on roads going from one pandal (i.e. a place where the idol was kept) to another. With fruits, bundiya and the curd mixed with jaggery give a distinct flavour. I being born in B.S.City, which was very close to Purulia, and the influence of West Bengal all over, It made us cheerful with all kinds of festival from Durga Puja to Vishwakarma Puja which was celebrated with equal fanfare.
Gradually, once we reached our higher class, there was a clear demarcation between Hindi Medium and English Medium. Students, who were studying in English medium, even if trying their best to mix and match with the community who were from Bihar and the backward clan which was "Bhumihar" as they did not merged with the students of English Medium like Holy Cross, St. Xaviers and other such schools.
There was a continuous sadist approach by the Bhumihar clan which consists of Pandey Community and the real mastermind behind 84 riots developed a stance of wiping out all other castes. So much so, that there was a clear thing in their mind that anyone who gets ahead of them will either meet the death bed or slaughter house is ready for them.
The community such as Khatri, Aggarwal and other such people faced the terrible backlash in the small city. Everywhere, there was loot and arson which did not stop even after 84. I remember an incident when a girl was brutally raped and tortured in B.S.City, and her entire family has to get shifted. She was from St. Xaviers and in her class 12 when this incident happened.
Its a city which was best in terms of education and if you go under the wraps it is found that the city has numerous incidents which generally do not get heard. After, such things happen there is a peace march and people go to Superintendent of Police office. They give the letters and then they say "Bokaro sadbhavna ka jeeta jagta Kendra bindu hai". This city who has seen numerous deaths in the City Park and the people get afraid while going from the Sector 1 and Sector 5 after 9:00 p.m.
The city which has several cases of rape, torture, kidnapping and other such story remain away from news because of the dreaded Bhumihar group by the name of Surajdev Singh, Dadai Dubey, Gaya Singh and various other small time politicians who although have non existence in the Central politics. The small time politicians are more into scandals and prostitution. To my surprise, the city has developed "Escort Services" which was never to be seen during our age.
Also, the "Martand Gym" whose owner was "Samresh Singh" has only goons in running the business at City Centre. They put their heavy hands and try to snatch people's money along with taking weekly money from the shopkeepers. The city has turned into a place where businesses are dying their own death, Steel Plant almost on the verge of closing down because of the high handedness of local Unions such as AITUC, INTUC and other such Trade Unions along with Bokaro Steel Plant management which is the centre of corruption,
I do remember that at the time of Durga Puja when the Sail Employees use to get their Bonus amount which was allocated a bigger share by Steel Ministry. It was fairly in the hands of Gaya Singh and Dadai Dubey, These small time politicians took the charge in their own hand and made fool of the employees by taking the lion's share. The amount which come to the hand of the employees use to be less than peanuts.
With, all the amount still saving from the ocassional pocket money provided by father made us understand the value of money. With glee and gloom at the same time we understood that "Love is the privilege of rich- The poor has to bear the expenses and think about the two square meal". Today, however smart our young generation behaves and whether their parents shout on the top of the voice in the locality that we were super-rich because of the influence of their sadist wife who try to flash their pomp and show now and then.
If deep down the heart they will look inside they will find that their family has seen a days of hardship and struggle. Giving themselves a look which is akin to the rich and the high does not and cannot make them "Maharani Gayatri Devi". There are very few family in India who has seen a lot of riches and when we look at different ministers like "Shri Rajnath Singh" and such other leaders one find that they are a person who resemble the true class.
Coming to a city and being a show-off has never been my style. That is the only reason that however small is the resources I try to get the best out of it. I fulfilled all those wishes of-course with the help of my father's money ( it gradually took a high after pay commissions by the Government) which has been explained in earlier blogs. Although, I tried to give myself the best of the home so that it should give me a happiness and a feeling which takes me away from gloom and gives a happy face forever.
Its good to see that people across India have shunted out the Congress Government who has made many political thieves and goons across India. One dearly laughs when we see the sadist approach of the women from our society as by seeing them even the love runs away for miles and miles. So, just a day when one remembers the beautiful days of "Saraswati Puja" when there was normalcy in Bihar, until the Bhumihar group made the mockery of the law and order system and "Shri Lalu Prasad Yadav" party could never become a force to reckon with. As they are failing the MY samikaran i.e. "Muslim-Yadav" by putting all the blame from tobacco growth to various other negative issues in Bihar.
