Three hours with Uday Prakash-III

My friend Nabin Bibhas was enthusiastic to ask more questions he had noted down in a diary. The interesting discussion made us enjoy. How he did feel, we couldn't know. But he appreciated us for seeking him at Delhi. But,real cost of meeting with him was more meaningful for us. But he was frequently saying that he was very happy to talk with Nepalis. Of course, he has won the mind of Nepali readers . He again went out of the tract of Nabin's question. He entered into revolution. 'Taking over the power is the beginning of revolution. It should be continued to transfer the system.' he said. I think, this may be the lesson of our Nepali Maoist.
He further said, "Ruler is not victimized after resolution but people who were serving them are victimized."
In his view, exploitation during the time of Lenin and now is not same. Method of exploitation has been transformed into industrial exploitation. Now we have been victimized.
He changed the topics and entered in to the issue of corporate products in India. '42 commodities should be banned in India. Only one and half rupees of its total price goes into company, remaining goes to kill the people of Afghanistan, Iraq, Pakistan and others' He was focusing on the trade of Coca -cola, Pepsi and so on. This is an example of exploitation in the modern world according to Uday.
Uday, entered into the Indian society and ongoing movement except Naxalism. He has already mentioned about naxalism and I have posted in the previous parts.
'Look at the previous commonwealth game, what happened, he said, ' Out of 12 million people in Delhi, less than one hundred thousand people went. How do you evaluate the game where even one hundred thausand of 12 million people of Delhi didn't look at games? But at the same time 250 thousands family were made displaced and forcefully made them banned to stay at Delhi. Wasn't it shameful to destroy 17 schools where people of low income level were studying?'
He said, this type of politics is not going to survive. Said,'the parameter of every system is justice. Desire for justice in humanity is immortal. Justice never dies. People are struggling for getting justice.'

His perception about political India seemed interesting. 'I have been saying that Indian constitution is a singular text. But we have plural texts like Mahabharata, Ramayana, Gandhi and so on. India was never a nation and will not be in future. Hindu of Manipur state and Tamilnadu can't be singular. Same things like partition of pakistan and Bangladesh will happen in India in future. Likewise Hindi is also the created language based on Hinduism. Hindi was created in Kolkata and developed in Banaras. It has been created as RAJBHASHA of republic India.'
Nabin asked about contemporary Hindi literature. Uday entered in to the history of it and started from 1925 when the communist party in India was established. He has given interesting examples to answer Nabin's question. Please wait me for next segment.(To be contd....................)

Three Hours with Uday Prakash- II

At first part, I inaugurated the discussion with Uday Prakash. He was talking about the contemporary Indian society with examples of eastern mythological stories.
While answering to us, he went into the deep well of everything and came out.He seemed to be an encyclopedia about everything what we asked. While telling about Indian society, he diverted from the issue and said, ' today I am very happy by getting you Nepalese guys in my home. My readers are not only Hindi-speaking people, but also the people of different language all over the world.'
He showed a magazine which had published from Kolkata about the popular youth personality of South Asia. The magazine had carried his story also. I forgot the name of the magazine but Nepalese youth leaders like Gagan Thapa, Sunil Babu Pant, were also included as the dynamics of South Asia.Uday Prakash had been influded as the youth which he didn't forget to tell us. We laughed with respect.
He was out of the track of Nabin's question but we were getting more things. If he was fully concentrated with literature, my role would not be more than sleeping. His way of telling stopped me from sleeping.
He again entered into his personal life while telling about Indian society, literature as well as politics.


' I don't have job. I am always jobless. Youth collect royalties of my books and give me. I am living for youths because they are saving me. Because of them, I have car. I have home. ' He repeated again. I have already mentioned this part at the first segment of this story.
Then, he entered into the world of democracy. Uday has separate view of democracy. In his view, democracy has been unsuccessful and anti-people all over the world. 'People are unrest but state is defying the people in the name of democracy. After French revolution, there is no existence of democracy like the model of France. I think, there is people's participation in capitalist country where as socialist countries are far from this. Some limited persons are rounding the power. Democracy has been changed into protocracy. But now, Protocracy has been transformed into cleptocracy', he said quoting Nom Chomsky. Similarly, he claimed that Indian people are in the same position who were in before 1947.
Mentioning about civilization, he emphasized that democracy has been gone out. We have been divided but the people of India, Nepal, Sri Lanka and Pakistan are same. If you taste DNA, blood will not be different.
I asked question about his view on the future of Naxalite movement. He gavelong answer about that with background.

'In my opinion, Naxalite movemebt is because of the democratic failure in the country. Any writer should be aware about the Naxalite movement so, I am. Youth have been in politics. I see the good future of Naxalite movement.' he replied.
His perception was clear that tribe's involvement has made the Naxalite movement stronger. said, 'If you will fight to save river and natural resources, you will also fight to save tribal automatically. Natural resources and tribal are closely connected. Destroying jungle is also the enemata to the tribals.'
He came into the tract of our subject. 'Naxalite movement is to take over. Holding power is not solution of anything. Government is only the part of building infrastructure, road, energy etc. But the cause of such movements is existence of injustice.
He was giving the figure of India to complete our answer. Out of 1 billion and 200 million people of India, 11 percent are tribal. In north east, ninety nine percent people are tribal. Can the state kill 150 million people? But in India, limited Hindus are ruling by using media and power.
My friend Nabin had picked up long list of questions to ask Uday. More interesting part of our discussion will be mentioned subsequently . Pls wait me ................(To be continued on Part- III)
