jo chhut gaya wo ..............

तेरे अश्को को मान लिया अपनी चाहत ,
तेरे कदमो  को भी मान लिया अपनी आहट,
अब न जाने और क्या चाहता आलोक ,
उसके हसने में भी रहती अपनी सुगबुगाहट .....१
बहकते है वो जिन्हें  यकीं ही नही खुद पर ,
गिरते है वो जिन्हें जमीं न मिली मर कर ,
मुझे पता है काँटों की चुभन ये आलोक ,
रोते है वो जिन्हें कुछ न मिला जी कर ..........२
तेरे हिस्से मौत न आई मांग कर भी ,
मेरे हिस्से जिन्दगी न आई मर कर भी ,
दोनों को अब न जाने किसका इंतज़ार ,
हसी जाने कहा हो गई हमसे मिलकर ...........३
जो बीत गया अब याद ना आया ,
जो मिल गया उसको भी ना पाया ,
जाने क्या बटोरते रहे उम्र भर हम ,
जो छूटगया वही फिर काम आया .................4

tujhko jina behtar

रात का डर किसको सुबह की आहट में ,
मौत का डर किसको तेरी चाहत में ,
हर इसी को इंतज़ार समय की अंगड़ाई का ,
पैमाने का डर किसको आँखों की राहत में  ........१
जब दामन से तन्हाई लिपट जाती है ,
आँखे खुद ब खुद  छलक आती है ,
डरता हूँ कही कोई देख ना ले मुझको  ,
इसी से हसी ओठो पे मचल जाती है ....................२
खो जाना बेहतर है पाने के लिए ,
चले जाना बेहतर फिर आने के लिए ,
सभी में छिपी है रब की एक सूरत ,
तुझको जीना बेहतर उसको पाने के लिए ...........३

why is why

When you get life,
other than what you want,
when you want to go ,
but you sit inside the room,
you appear in any examination,
and result is not as your passion,
you want to eat,
you can' use your hand,
a faith lies in your heart,
but someone ditches you ,
you are in clutch of rebellion,
and you want to alive,
life becomes as butchery ,
where one can come ,
but can't go out side ,
a banquet never comes,
a sorrow ritual moves ,
steps are many but,
goal is far behind ,
do you also feel it ,
time to time or,
seldom comes this device ,
and you pay your breath ,
your time or,
what has a price ,
i feel often all,
when I feel calm,
or try to live cool,
an other than effort,
activates itself in my life,
and i become victim of,
circumstances to say ,
why all these happen ,
only in my life ,
what i did wrong ,
or what i do act ,
o almighty listen my voice,
and tell me the fact of,
prophet, Christ who ,
always did good but,
where was happiness,
why not a cozy life,
in their lives ,
when they suffered ,
i am facing the same ,
but why it is ,
i am mere a man ,
why happiness is ban ,
could i try to be ,
or it is other than man ,
what i can ,
when i am hanging between,
super man and man,
and say in dream ,
sought in day and night ,
why happiness never wants,
to sit in my lap,
what is the crime ,
which creates this gap ,
why , why is on ,
will life reside upon .

Atrocities act for SC

Rajasthan has emerged as the state with the highest incidence of registered atrocities against Dalits across the country. In 2010, the state recorded 51.4 cases of atrocities against Dalits per lakh population under the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes Prevention of Atrocities Act.

It had registered a similar number of cases in 2009 too.

The latest data from the ministry of social justice and empowerment show that five states – Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, Andhra Pradesh, Bihar and Madhya Pradesh – account for around 70% of registered atrocities against Dalits in India. SCs account for anywhere between 15% and 22% of the total population in these states.
“As stated, these are registered cases – whereas the actual number of atrocities could be more. Though hundreds of cases still go unnoticed and unreported, Dalits now come out and complain thanks to the efforts of NGOs in states like Andhra Pradesh,” Chinna Rao, associate professor, Centre for the Study of Discrimination and Exclusion, JNU, said.
Although the number of atrocities against Dalits declined in most of the states from 33,426 in 2009 to 32,569 in 2010, Kerala, Haryana and West Bengal recorded a rise. Himachal and Punjab also saw a marginal increase in 2010 over 2009.
Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan and Andhra Pradesh topped in atrocities against the tribal population as well. Of the 5,880 cases registered, 60% (3,505 cases) were from these states.
Cases of atrocities against Dalits are characterised by their high rate of pendency and low rate of conviction, a tendency officials term as “very worrisome”. As per the National Crime Records Bureau, the pendency of SC-related cases in courts during 2008-10 was 80.6%. In eight states, the percentage is above the national average – 90% in Gujarat and 88.2% in West Bengal.
At the same time, the conviction rate in SC-related cases during 2008-10 was only 32.3%, with Karnataka registering as low as 3.3%, Gujarat 6.4%, Maharashtra 6.6%, and West Bengal 6.7%.
Though the Act specifies special courts at the district level to deal with such cases on a war footing, not many states have complied with the stipulation. “Andhra and MP have set up exclusive courts in every district, but the ratio is much less in other states,” an official said.
