पुणे बम धमाका

कल पुणे में हुआ बम ब्लास्ट संवेदनहीन आतंकवादियो द्वारा अंजाम दी गई एक शर्मनाक करतूत है और हम अखिल भारतीय नामदेव वंशी छीपा समाज के सभी सदस्य इस निकृष्ट मानवीय कुकृत्य की घोर निंदा करते है. किसी भी सभ्य समाज में इस तरह की बर्बर धटनाओ के लिए कोई जगह नहीं होती तथा इसे अंजाम देने वाले आतंकवादी व उनके संगठन कठोर क़ानूनी कार्यवाही के हक़दार होते है. हम आशा करते है की हमारी जाँच एजेंसिया इसके लिए जिम्मेदार लोगो को बिना किसी सहानुभूति के जल्द से जल्द सलांखो के पीछे पहुचायेगी तथा सरकार प्रभावित लोगो को उचित इलाज व मुआवजा मुहैया कराएगी. हम ईश्वर से प्रार्थना करते है कि हताहत लोगो के परिवार वालो को इस सदमे को सहन करने कि शक्ति प्रदान करे व मृत आत्माओ को शांति दे. लेकिन हमारी सच्ची श्रध्धांजलि यही होगी कि हम इसके लिए जिम्मेदार लोगो को अति शीघ्र जेल का रास्ता दिखाए तथा यह भी सुनिश्चित करे कि इंसानियत को शर्मसार करने वाली ऐसी घटनाओ कि भविष्य में पुनरावृति न हो.

इस तरह कि घटनाये ऐसे ही नहीं घट जाती है. उसके लिए प्लानिंग व आर्थिक सहायता कि दरकार होती है. उसको अंजाम देने के लिए विस्फोटक व तकनिकी ज्ञान की जरूरत होती है. स्थानीय लोगो की मदद के बिना ऐसे काम मुश्किल होते है. यह सब काम एक दिन में नहीं किये जा सकते. हमारी पुलिस व प्रशाशनिक मशीनरी को अधिक सतर्क व चोकन्ना रहना होगा. जासूसी एजेंसियों की सूचनाओ का विश्लेषण कर ऐसे कदम उठाने होंगे की इस तरह की घटनाये असंभव हो.

अगर यह क्रोस बोर्डर आतंकवाद कि घटना है तो हमें अंतर्राष्ट्रीय दबाव बनाकर उन देशो पर लगाम कसनी होगी जो उन्हें आर्थिक मदद व पनपने का मौका देते है. समय आ गया है की हम ऐसी ताकतों को विश्व समुदाय के समक्ष बेनकाब करे तथा सबक सिखाये.

Quarterly magazine in Hindi from Mumbai

Dear Friends,

For the past few days we are seriously thinking of publishing a quarterly magazine from Mumbai in HINDI. The idea behind such a thought is to provide a platform to our Samaj members to express their views, share their ideas in Hindi with the other community members. We believe that the online platform which we have provided through our website www.namdevchhipasamaj.net does not reach to the people who are not techno savvy and comfortable with information technology. Large section of our society including women, children, retired and elderly people still depend upon print media to satisfy their hunger for information. Looking into all these aspects we are planning for a magazine, the benefit of which will reach to those people who do not operate a computer system either due to lack of knowledge or available resources.

Your comments/suggestions are welcomed.
