कलेचं मूळ आणि महत्त्व

(हा लेख दैनिक सकाळ साठी ५०० शब्दांत लिहिलेला, पण इथे तो माझे अनुभव सांगून अजून विस्तृत पद्धतीने लिहिला आहे.) लहानपणापासूनच चित्रपट बनवायची इच्छा होती, पण ह्या सर्व गोष्टी कश्या असतात हे मला माहित नव्हतं. मी सातवीत असतानाच नास्तिक झालो. त्यामुळे देवधर्म करण्याऐवजी मी वाचू लागलो. शाळेत असतानाच अवांतर वाचन होत असायचं. माझा देव या संकल्पनेवरचा विश्वास नाहीसा झाल्यामुळे मला आजूबाजूचं जग जास्त स्पष्ट दिसू लागलं आणि त्यातून खूप प्रश्न पडू लागले. याच कारणामुळे माझं वाचन कथा कादंबरी भोवती नसून वैचारिक आणि तत्वज्ञानाशी निगडीत पुस्तकात मला रस होता. मी सुरुवातीच्या काळात वाचलेल्या पुस्तकांपैकी दोन ठळकपणे आठवतात – डॉ. बाबासाहेब आंबेडकरांनी लिहिलेलं “राम आणि कृष्णाचं गौडबंगाल” आणि शहीद भगत सिंह लिखित “मी नास्तिक का आहे?”. या दोन पुस्तकांमुळे माझे विचार अजून स्पष्ट झाले आणि मला खात्री झाली की माझा नास्तिक होण्याचा निर्णय योग्य होता. मी रुईया महाविद्यालयात बी.एम.एम. शिकत असताना मला काही असे मित्र मैत्रिणी भेटले ज्यांच्यामुळे माझ्या वाचनाचा वेग वाढला. महात्मा ज्योतिबा फुले, प्रबोधनकार ठाकरे, पेरियार, ...

End of ideology or the consolidation of ideology...

Since few years back, "end of ideology" is the term mostly used by the social activists and intellectuals of this country to depict the compromise in terms of one's own ideology. When many of the politicians as well as social workers are turning to the regressive parties from their former organizations, anyone might think that they're distancing themselves from their own beliefs. Firstly, we'll understand the ideology of the majority population of the the Hindus in India. As a result of religion and their orthodox beliefs, we know that most of them are the followers of  varnashrama  & caste system, which is the base of Hinduism. The sacred books of Hinduism preaches patriarchy, conspiracy & violence, which they call it as spirituality. Even if a modern Hindu person, who have embraced the western culture for his/her lifestyle, will not leave behind his so called tradition. The root cause of this issue is an act / culture / teachings / beliefs of "not...

Un-Freedom!

We have many philosophies in the world to embrace. We know philosophers who are known for their precious thoughts of liberty which are globally accepted. From Lord Buddha to Socrates, Lao Tzu & Confucius to Friedrich Nietzsche, Karl Marx to Che Guevara & Fidel Castro, Abraham Lincoln to Martin Luther King, Nelson Mandela to Dr. B.R. Ambedkar; each and every part of the world, whether it is America, Africa, Europe or Asia have its own culture which is different from each other but there is a common thing concerned everywhere which is called Freedom.  In today’s developed world, we see that thinking process of each individual is unique in its own way. May be it is an impact of the interpretation of various philosophies. Also there are many fabrications took place in the name of religion which created aggressive intolerance in the minds of the impuissant people which led to craven bifurcation of communities. There are two major sects in each community, i.e. orthodox and ...

Excogitative

They are in the dark, boxed. They are in the light, un-boxed. The symbol of the knowledge, I know. The wisdom of that symbol , I know. The ideology of God isn't worth. The philosophy of humanity is must. Though you'll get the divine knowledge on divine worshipping, But the thought of science can be expiscated only by great following. - Aashit Sable
