Summary of the Lesson
This story is about a brave lady of a small village in Rajasthan. Our country was attacked by the enemy. The battalion of the enemy was ordered to kill everyone whosoever comes in their way. To avoid the open encounter with the Indian soldiers the battalion selected the desert area to make a move. Yet some homeguards noticed the movement of the enemy and hence the nearby villages were Vacated well in time. When the battalion reached the village they noticed no movement, complete silence and saw nothing. Hence the battalion was told to be alert by the Commander. When they moved further in a lane, they found bags of wheat and other eatables of which Some were still smoking though all of them were spread here and there deliberately so that the enemy could not consume it. All the soldiers of the enemy battalion were very hungry and thirsty but they could not find anything to eat or drink. So they went in anger to kill the village people but could not find any as the village was already vacant. They suddenly heard cries coming from the huts, they dispersed here and there hoping they will get some food or water. The cries were of a one-year-old baby who was in the lap of a young woman. She was dragged to the Commander.
One of the soldiers told the Commander that they found that lady who was with an old man, completely paralyzed. The lady was in Rajasthani costume and was pale and in fear. The Commander asked the lady why she was alone. The lady replied boldly in anger that she had to stay back to take care of the paralyzed man, his grandfather. Then Commander asked that why all the villagers had left. The lady answered angrily why the Commander did not know this. They left because they would be killed by the enemy. Then Commander enquired about the burnt chapatis, wheat and milk. She replied that so that the enemy could not find anything to eat or drink. Sudden shouts of joy were heard now. The soldiers came with some eatables. These eatables were found from the underground hole which was covered by straw bed on which the paralyzed man was lying. The Commander was very happy but then he recalled that all the wells and tanks were being poisoned. He enquired about the same. It was saved by the lady for themselves.
The Commander further asked about her husband who was in heaven as he sacrificed his life for his motherland. The soldiers asked the Commander to consume the eatables as they were dying of hunger and thirst. But the Commander was suspicious. So he told the lady to drink the milk and to make her child also drink the milk. The lady did the same without any hesitation. Then the Soldiers also consumed the eatables. Suddenly the child, and later the lady, turned white and foam came out the child’s mouth. The Commander realised that the lady had poisoned them. All the soldiers began to fall on ground. When the war was over people came to know about the heroic deed of the brave lady. All of them applauded her sacrifice. Long live the martyrs who fought for their country! Long live our motherland!
पाठ का सार
यह कहानी राजस्थान के एक छोटे-से गाँव में रहनेवाली एक बहादुर महिला की है। हमारे देश पर दुश्मनों द्वारा आक्रमण किया गया था। दुश्मन की पलटन को राह में आने वाले हर व्यक्ति को मार डालने का आदेश दिया गया था। भारतीय सैनिकों से सीधा सामना ना हो इसलिए दुश्मन की पलटन ने आगे बढ़ने के लिए रेतीला रास्ता चुना। मगर फिर भी होमगाड्र्स ने दुश्मनों को भाँप लिया था, इसलिए आस-पास के गाँवों को पहले ही खाली करवा दिया गया था। जब पलटन गाँव में पहुंची तो उन्हें कुछ भी न मिला सब तरफ शांति (सन्नाटा) थी। इस कारण पलटन को सतर्क रहने को कहा गया। जब वे आगे बढ़े तो उन्हें गेहूं के कुछ बैग व अन्य खाद्य सामग्री इधर-उधर बिखरी पड़ी मिली ताकि दुश्मन उसे प्रयोग में न ला सकें। कुछ सामग्री में से अब भी धुंआ निकल रहा था। दुश्मन की टुकड़ी भूख और प्यास से बेहाल थी परंतु उन्हें कुछ भी न मिला। नतीजन वे क्रोध से गाँव वालों को मारने के लिए दौड़े मगर उन्हें कोई न मिला क्योंकि गाँव पहले ही खाली करवाया जा चुका था। सहसा पास की झोपड़ियों से रोने की आवाज सुनाई दी। वे सभी इधर – उधर बिखरे गए कि शायद उन्हें अब कुछ खाने को मिल जाएगा। रोने की आवाज एक साल के बच्चे की थी जिसे एक युवा महिला ने अपनी बाँहों में उठा रखा था।
दुश्मन उसे घसीटते हुए अपने कमांडर के पास ले गए और उसे बताया कि उन्हें वह महिला मिली है जो एक पूरी तरह लकवाग्रस्त आदमी के साथ थी। वह महिला राजस्थानी कपड़ों में थी जो पीली पड़ी हुई थी तथा डर से कांप रही थी। कमांडर के पूछने पर कि वह यहाँ अकेली क्यों रह गई थी. उसने निडरतापूर्वक बताया कि उसे उस लकवाग्रस्त आदमी, जो कि उसके दादाजी थे, की देखभाल करने के लिए रुकना पड़ा था, जब कमांडर ने बाकी गाँव वालों के बारे में पूछा तो उसने बताया जैसे कि वह जानता ही कि नहीं हैं कि गाँव वाले क्यों चले गए। वे सभी अपने प्राण बचाकर गाँव छोड़कर चले गए। फिर कमांडर ने जली हुई रोटियां व अन्य सामग्री के बारे में जानना चाहा तो उसने बताया कि दुश्मन उस सामग्री का प्रयोग न कर सके, इसीलिए वह सामग्री जानबूझ कर नष्ट कर दी गई थी। अचानक खुशी के ठहाके सुनाई दिए। दुश्मन सैनिकों को खाद्य सामग्री मिली थी जिसे उन्होंने जमीन के नीचे भूसे के विनर के नीचे, जिस पर वह कमांडर बहुत खुश हुआ लेकिन तभी उसे याद आया कि लकवाग्रस्त आदमी लेटा हुआ था, उसे ढूंढ निकाला था। सभी कुँओं और टंकियों में जहर मिला दिया गया था। उसने महिला से इस बारे में पूछा। उसने बताया कि उसने वह सामग्री अपने लिए बचा रखी थी। कमांडर ने उसके पति के बारे में पूछा। उसने बताया कि उसके पति स्वर्ग में हैं।
जिन्होंने अपने प्राण अपनी मातृभूमि के लिए न्योछावर कर दिए। तब दुश्मन सैनिकों ने कमांडर से खाने-पीने की आज्ञा देने के लिए कहा क्योंकि वह भूख-प्यास से मर रहे थे। परंतु कमांडर को संदेह था। उसने उस महिला को तथा बच्चे को दूध पीने को दिया। उस महिला ने बिना किसी झिझक के वह दूध पी लिया तथा अपने बच्चे को भी पिला दिया। उसके बाद कुछ ही देर में सैनिकों ने भी वह खाद्य सामग्री समाप्त कर डाली। अचानक महिला का बच्चा झाग उगलने लगा तथा महिला भी ज्यादा देर खड़ी न रह पाई। कमांडर को अब तक पता चल चुका था कि उस महिला ने खाने की सामग्री में जहर मिला दिया था। जब तक वह कुछ समझ पाते, सभी सैनिक एक के ऊपर एक जमीन पर गिरने लगे। जब युद्ध समाप्त हुआ तो लोगों को उस बहादुर महिला के त्याग के बारे में पता चला। उन्होंने उसकी बहुत सराहना की। वह बहादुर महिला अमर रहे! वे सभी शहीद जिन्होंने अपने प्राण अपनी मातृभूमि पर न्योछावर किए, हमारी मातृभूमि दीर्घायु हो!
