Wanderers 21- Crisis
Years flew in preparing
for war. Some days were happy going while some had some sorrow news. One such
was when the Mughal ruler had invaded regions of Mewar.
“Rana ji…woh Mughal ne
humare Udaipur se saare bhojan saman, aata aur dal sab kareed liya hai aur…”
“Aur
kya??”
“Aur Mewar aur puure
Rajputane mein jitna aata aur daal the woh bhi kareed liya…”
“Yeh toh humare liye
samasya hai…”
“Bhai Shakti aap jayiye
aur Bundi ya Bijolia se abhi kuch aata aur daal la dijiye…baad ein pata nahi kitna milenga…”
“Haan dada bhai…hum abhi
jaate hai…”
Shakti went searching
for food items. The tensions were more as war days began to be counted. There
were so many people to be fed and feeding so many was not easy without ample
supply of food.
In Bundi,
“Bhai sahib dijiye aata…100
ser…”
“Bhai yaha humare liye
hi koi aata na hai aur hum apko 100 ser kaise de…humare paas hi lagbag 20 ser
hi honge…”
“Kya hua ki apke paas
itna kam hai??”
“Woh krud Mughal Akbar
ne humse chal se 1000 ser aata aur 500 ser daal le liya…”
“Bhai sahib hume ann
kaha milega??”
“Bundi mein toh nahi
milega…”
“Thik hai dhanyawad…”
In Bijolia,
“Bhai sahib hume 100
ser aata dijiye…”
“Bhai yaha sirf 50 ser aata
hai…”
“Toh hume 40 ser aata
dijiye…”
“Thik hai lekin daam
zayda hoga…”
“Chalega…”
“Aur daal hume 20 ser
dijiye…”
Thik hai lijiye…”
Shakti brought flour
and daal for food which would hardly last for a month. He returned back to his settlement.
“Dada bhai hume zayda
kuch nahi mila…bas 40 ser aata aur 20 ser daal mila…”
“Kya?? Yeh toh sirf ek
mahine ke liye shesh hai…”
“Haan dada bhai ab pata
nahi kya karenge hum…yudh bhi aa raha hai…”
“Hum iss vishay mein
Ajabde se baat karenge…veh hi kuch kar sakti hai…”
“Haan dada bhai…
bhabhisa kuch upai nikhalegi…”
“Humare paas sena bhi
hai aur hume unhe bhi bhojan dena hai…’
“Haan…hum abhi baat
karenge…”
In the kitchen,
“Jija ab aap dekhiye na
ki Amar kitne bade ho chuke hai ki veh hum sabse baat karne hi nahi aate...jab
dekho toh sirf abyaas karte rehte hai…’
“Hum jante hai aur veh
toh humse milne aate hi nahi…jab hum milne jaate hai toh tab baat karete hai..”
“Ajabde baisa aap ko
rana ji ne unke kuti mein bulaya hai…”
“Ji”
“Hum abhi aate hai…”
“Ji jija…parantu iss
vakth rana ji apko kyu bulaya??”
“Phir se…humne kaha na
ki kisi baat se pareshan honge aur isliye bhulaya hoga”
“Accha jija aap
jayiye…”
In the hut,
“Rana ji apne hume
bulaya??”
“Haan Ajab”
“Kya baat hai…aap
vichlit lag rahe hai…”
“Ajab baat hi aisi
hai…”
“Batayiye toh sahi…”
“Ajab, uss dust Mughal
ne Rajutane ke har rajya se sara ann aur daal kareed liya hai aur jab Shakti
gaye ann aur daal lane toh unhe 40 ser aata aur 20 ser daal hi mila…”
“Rana ji chinta na
karen aap…yeh ek mahine ka aata aur daal ab teen mahine tak chalenga…aap bas
rooz kuch pal lane ki vyawasta keren…”
“Parantu Ajab hum ek
mahine ke aata aur daal teen mahine tak kaise…”
“Rana ji hum jante hai
kya karna hai hume…”
“Kaha jaa rahi hai
aap??”
“Chaliye humare saath”
They go to the kitchen
where all the ladies were gathered.
“Jija aap…Rana ji??”
“Sabi beheno ko hume
kuch kehna hai…”
“Kahiye na jija…”
“Ranimaa sheegr kahiye
na aap…”
“Woh aaj se hum stri
hafte mein do din vrath rakenge…iska karan hai ki hume ek mahine ke aata aur
daal teen mahine tak chalana hai…”
“Hum teen din vrath
rakehge…”
“Sabhi stri din mein ek
baar roti aur sabzi kayehge aur ek baar pal kayehgi…iska karan hai ki hum stri
humare sana aur purush ke liye yudh ladne hetu bhojan dekar unhe shakti shali
bana rahe hai…”
“Aur Kiran aap koi
vrath nahi rakhengi parantu aap do roti ke jagah par ek roti kahyengi…”
“Jija hume isse koi
apathy nahi hai…hum yeh yudh jeetne hetu kuch bhi kar sakte hai…”
“Rana ji ab iss vishay
ka samadan mil gaya hai na…”
“Ajabde agar stri itna
balidhan de sakti hai toh hum purush bhi teen roti ke sthan par do roti kha
sakte hai…”
“Rana ji yeh nahi ho
sakta..apko yudh ladna hai..”
“Ajabde yudh ladne ke
liye bhojan ki nahi athma shakti ki awashyakata hai…”
“Toh thik hai ab se hum
yeh dhyaan mein rak bhojan banayenge…”
“Ajabde apka bahot
bahot dhayawad…”
The problem was sorted
temporarily. But after three months the problem would be the same.
