जिसने आगे बढ़ कर छीना वे सज्जन श्रीमन्त हो गये और पंक्ति में खड़े-खडे़ हम अक्षरहीन हलन्त हो गये

इतने भोले नहीं कि दुनिया छले और हम पता न पायें उदासीन हो गये जो देखा घने लुटेरे संत हो गये

जब मादक संगीत खनकते सिक्कों का पड़ गया सुनाई सभी इन्द्रियाँ जगी अचानक सभी अंग जीवन्त हो गये

जिनकी महिमा संरक्षित है कितने थानो के ग्रन्थों में लोकतन्त्र का सूत्र पकड़कर माननीय अत्यन्त हो गये

जब भी संकट पड़ा राष्ट्र पर आई बलिदानो की बारी चोर-रास्ता पकड़ भागने को तैय्यार तुरन्त हो गये

Amitabh Tripathi ‘Amit’

The Poet

अमिताभ त्रिपाठी 'अमित'

Amitabh Tripathi ‘Amit’

Amitabh Tripathi 'Amit' belongs to a rare class of contemporary Hindi poets who write to hold up an unflinching mirror to society. His verse is stripped of complex academic jargon and strikes directly at the center of modern Indian realities. In works like his celebrated poem "Bas Itna Sa Samachar Hai" (This is All the News There Is), Tripathi captures the everyday ironies, widespread corruption, and moral compromises of the present age with devastating precision. He dismantles hollow idealism and gives a powerful voice to the common man navigating a broken system. To read Amitabh Tripathi is to be awakened from civic slumber. His poems are not merely complaints; they are urgent pleas for a return to collective conscience and integrity.

Draupadi Vastraharan

Paired Painting

Draupadi Vastraharan

This profound masterpiece captures one of the most agonizing and emotionally charged episodes from the Indian epic Mahabharata, known as the Sabha Parva. Draupadi, the queen of the Pandavas, stands alone in the royal court, her dignity violently assailed as Duhshasana attempts to disrobe her in front of an assembly of elders, gurus, and princes. Raja Ravi Varma channels the deep anguish, betrayal, and quiet spiritual resilience of Draupadi with startling psychological realism. The terrified yet defiant expression on her face, combined with the arrogant postures of the Kaurava princes, invites viewers to bear witness to a pivotal moral failure of civilization. Through oil paint and classical European composition, Varma immortalized an ancient literary tragedy, stirring an enduring cultural memory of divine intervention, righteousness, and the ultimate triumph of dharma over adharma.
