मुक्तिकामी चेतना अभ्यर्थना इतिहास की यह समझदारों की दुनिया है विरोधाभास की
आप कहते हैं इसे जिस देश का स्वर्णिम अतीत वो कहानी है महज़ प्रतिरोध की ,संत्रास की
यक्ष प्रश्नों में उलझ कर रह गई बूढ़ी सदी ये परीक्षा की घड़ी है क्या हमारे व्यास की?
इस व्यवस्था ने नई पीढ़ी को आखिर क्या दिया सेक्स की रंगीनियाँ या गोलियाँ सल्फ़ास की
याद रखिये यूँ नहीं ढलते हैं कविता में विचार होता है परिपाक धीमी आँच पर एहसास की.

The Poet
अदम गोंडवी
Adam Gondvi
1947 · 2011
If poetry exists to comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable, Adam Gondvi was Hindi literature's most uncompromising voice. Born Ram Nath Singh on October 22, 1947, in the Gonda district of Uttar Pradesh, he lived the quiet life of a farmer while writing verses of fierce revolutionary anger. Gondvi took the delicate and traditionally romantic form of the Urdu ghazal and turned it into a weapon. He used its strict meter to expose the hypocrisy of the caste system, the cruelty of feudal oppression, and the deep corruption within Indian politics. When he wrote that he would take the reader to the alleys of the Dalits, he was challenging mainstream literature to abandon its comfortable illusions and confront the starving reality of rural India. He rejected political patronage and lived his entire life in modest circumstances before passing away in 2011. Adam Gondvi remains the fearless conscience of the marginalized. His words strike with undeniable force.
Paired Painting
The Death of Abhimanyu
This profound painting captures one of the most heartbreaking episodes of the Mahabharata war, the tragic last stand of young Abhimanyu, son of Arjuna and Subhadra. Trapped within the formidable chakravyuha military formation, stripped of his chariot, and heavily outnumbered by the greatest warriors of the Kaurava army, the brave prince refuses to surrender. Wielding a chariot wheel as a shield and weapon, he stands defiantly amidst chaos, dust, and fallen steeds. Giampaolo Tomassetti portrays this moment with immense reverence and visceral energy, highlighting the agonizing sorrow and transcendent heroism of a noble youth facing his destined end.
