Itihas bhoologe to pehchan bhi dhundhli hogi

Jaipur mein ek vichar-manch ke dauran history aur pehchan par seedhi baat hui. Baat ka saar yeh tha ki Bharat ko sirf ghula hua desh kehna sahi tasveer nahi deta; yahan to lambi ladai, tikav aur lagatar saamna karne ki kahani rahi hai. Isi sandarbh mein yeh bhi kaha gaya ki jo samaj apni history se door hota hai, woh dheere-dheere kamzor ho jata hai. Yeh baat sun kar ek aam sa sawal uthta hai: school ki kitaab se bahar jo yaad hoti hai, woh kitni badi cheez hoti hai? Jaipur jaise shehar mein, jahan kila, haveli aur galiyon mein hi itihas saans leta hai, aisi baat seedhi lagti hai. Asal baat yeh hai ki yaad rakhna sirf gaurav ka mamla nahi, samajhdari ka bhi hai. Aur isi par sabki nazar tik gayi, kyunki ishara saaf tha—history ko halke mein liya, to pehchan ka rang feeka pad sakta hai.
