The Big Questions (page 125)

1. Duniya ke alag alag hisson ke logon ke liye India ghar kaise bana? Kai cheezein milkar. Sweekaar ki sanskriti ne logon ko sikhaaya ki ajnabi parivaar hai aur mehmaan bhagwaan (vasudhaiva kutumbakam, atithi devo bhava). Shaasakon ne naye logon ka swaagat kiya, unhe zameen di aur apni marzi se ibaadat karne di: Kochi ke Raja, Sanjan ke Raja Jadi Rana, Akbar. Masaalon aur kapde ke vyapaar ne Arab aur Armenian jaise vyapaariyon ko kheencha, aur lambe samudri tat ki wajah se West Asia aur Africa se samudr ke raaste pahunchna aasaan tha. Aur jo samaaj pehle se kai bhashayein aur dharm sambhaale tha, usme ek aur ke liye jagah thi.

2. Doosre deshon ke sataaye gaye logon ne India mein sharan kyun li? Kyunki wo apne ghar mein surakshit rehkar ibaadat nahi kar paate the. Jews ko kai deshon mein sataaya gaya; Syriac Christians ko Roman samrajya mein heretic kaha gaya aur Persia mein Rome ki madad ka shak kiya gaya; 7th sadi mein Persia ki haar ke baad Zoroastrians ko zabardasti dharm badalne, jizya kar aur agni mandiron ke tootne ka saamna karna pada; Iran mein Baha’is ko heretic kaha gaya; China ke Tibet pe kabze ke baad Tibetans bhaage. India ka naam ek surakshit panaahgaah ka tha jahan wo bina darr apna dharm maan sakte the.

3. Indian samaaj ki kis baat se log yahan ghul mil paate hain? Indian samaaj pehle se vividh tha, kai bhashaon, dharmon aur vichaar dhaaraon ke saath, isliye fark aam baat thi, darr ki nahi. Karuna aur mehmaan ke sammaan ke moolyon ki wajah se naye logon ka swaagat hua, unhe badalne pe majboor nahi kiya gaya. Samudaay synagogue se agni mandir tak apni ibaadat ki jagah rakh sake aur sthaaniya pehnaava, bhasha aur reetiyan bhi apna sake. Parsi kahaani ki shakkar ki tarah wo samaaj mein ghul gaye, khud ko khoye bina.

Think About It (page 126)

Aadhi raat ko tez baarish mein ajnabi darwaaza khatkhataata hai: use andar aane dene ke paksh aur vipaksh mein tark. Paksh: wo sach mein toofaan mein phansa aur khatre mein ho sakta hai; zaroorat mand ki madad karna sahi hai, aur hamari parampara mehmaan ko bhagwaan maanti hai; ek raat ki panaah parivaar ko zyaada mehngi nahi padti. Vipaksh: parivaar use bilkul nahi jaanta, aur uski kahaani jhoothi ho sakti hai; raat mein parivaar ki suraksha pehle hai; police, mechanic ya hotel jaise doosre log behtar madad kar sakte hain. Beech ka raasta bhi hai: ghar ke kisi surakshit hisse mein panaah do, sawaal poochho, ya use sookha rakhte hue madad bulaao.

Jab sharanarthi India mein panaah maangte hain, kya aise hi tark lagte hain? Haan, bahut bade paimaane pe. Paksh: sharanarthi asli khatre se bhaag rahe hain, karuna aur India ki parampara kehti hai ki unki madad ho, aur Parsis aur Tibetans jaise kai sharanarthiyon ne India ko samriddh kiya. Saavdhaniyan: desh ko jaanchna hota hai ki kaun aa raha hai, suraksha ke baare mein sochna hota hai, aur bahut logon ke rehne, khaane aur padhaai ke kharche ki yojana banaani hoti hai. Desh aam taur pe dono ko santulit karte hain, dhyaan aur yojana ke saath panaah dekar, jaise India ne Tibetan bastiyon ke saath kiya.

Indian Jews ki kahaani (pages 126–129)

Let’s Explore (page 128): kya dono tasveeron mein ek hi jagah hai? Haan. Takhti pe bani painting (Fig. 5.2) wahi hall dikhati hai jo photo (Fig. 5.3) mein hai: oonche padhne ke chabootre ke chaaron taraf sunehri railing, parde waala sajaaya hua ark jisme Torah rakhi jaati hai, latakte kaanch ke lamp aur neeli safed tiles ka farsh. Dono Kochi ka synagogue dikhati hain.

Travancore ke Maharaja ne Torah ke liye itna keemti tohfa kyun diya? Takhti batati hai ki unhone 1805 mein Torah ke liye sone ka mukut bhent kiya. Aisa tohfa Jewish samudaay aur unke dharm ke liye sammaan dikhata tha, aur sadiyon se is ilaake mein rehne waale logon ke saath dosti bhi. Isse unhe ehsaas hua ki wo yahin ke hain aur unke dharm ka sammaan baaki dharmon jaisa hai, mehmaan ke swaagat ki parampara ke mutaabik. (Extra) Kochi ke Jews bade vyapaari bhi the, isliye unke saath achhe rishte ilaake ke vyapaar ke liye bhi achhe the.

Let’s Explore (page 129): Fig. 5.4 se Jewish samudaay ke ghulne milne ke kya suraag milte hain? Auratein sthaaniya dhang se saree pehne hain, Indian gehnon ke saath; aadmi aur ladke us samay Bombay mein aam topi aur lambe coat pehne hain; bachche aage paalthi maar kar baithe hain. Unke pehnaave mein aisa kuch nahi jo unhe padosiyon se alag kare. 19th sadi ke aakhir tak ye Jewish parivaar ilaake ke kisi bhi parivaar jaisa dikhta tha, apna dharm rakhte hue. (Extra) Bene Israel sthaaniya bhasha Marathi bolte the.

Syriac Christian samudaay (pages 129–130)

Let’s Explore (page 130): shaadi ki tasveeron se ghulne milne ke kya suraag milte hain? Dulhan Kerala ki dulhan ki tarah sunehri resham ki saree, sone ke gehne aur baalon mein phool pehne hai. Dulha uske gale mein dhaage pe ek chhota locket baandhta hai, bilkul Hindu shaadi ke thali ki tarah, aur samaaroh ke dauraan uske sir pe laal sunehri saree daali jaati hai. Shaadi church mein paadriyon ki agwaai mein Christian samaaroh hai, par uska pehnaava aur reetiyan Kerala ki hain. (Extra) Syrian Christians us locket ko minnu aur shaadi ki saree ko manthrakodi kehte hain.

Parsis (pages 130–132)

Think About It (page 131): doodh mein bina chhalkaaye shakkar gholne ka kya matlab tha? Ki Parsis rajya mein waise hi ghul mil jaayenge jaise shakkar doodh mein. Wo kam jagah lenge, kisi ko pareshaan nahi karenge, rajya ko chhalkaayenge nahi, aur apni mehnat aur sadbhaav se zindagi meethi karenge. Raja samajh gaye, aur sadiyon mein Parsis ne sach mein Indian jeevan ke kai kshetron ko samriddh kiya.

Let’s Explore (page 132): painting mein kya jaana pehchaana hai, aur ye Parsi ghulne milne ke baare mein kya dikhati hai? Auratein sir pe pallu daale saree pehne hain, choodiyan aur doosre gehne pehne hain, ek dulhan ke gehne theek kar rahi hai jabki doosri phoolon ki thaali liye hai, aur kamre mein mehraab waale aale hain. Ye Indian shaadiyon ke jaane pehchaane drishya hain. Painting dikhati hai ki Parsis ne Zoroastrian dharm rakhte hue Indian pehnaava aur reetiyan apnaayi aur Indian sanskriti ka hissa ban gaye. (Extra) Zyaadatar Parsis ki maatribhasha Gujarati hai.

Arab vyapaari aur Siddis (pages 133–134)

Let’s Explore (page 134): tasveeron se African aur Indian sanskriti ke mel ke kya suraag milte hain? Kaun si cheezein khaas Indian hain? African pehlu naachne waalon ke pankh waale mukut, chehre ke rang, motiyon ki maala aur jhaalar waale ghaghre mein dikhta hai, aur us African shaili ke dhol mein jiska book zikr karti hai. Indian pehlu Siddi mahila ki nath aur sir pe daale kapde, chhoti ladki ki baaliyon, Hirabai Lobi ki bandhej odhni aur choodiyon, aur naachti mahila ke ghaghra choli jaise ghere waale ghaghre aur blouse mein dikhta hai. Khaas Indian cheezein: nath, choodiyan, sir pe odhi saree aur odhni, Hirabai jaisa Indian naam, aur Padma Shri jaisa Indian sammaan. Paath ye bhi batata hai ki Siddis sthaaniya bhashayein bolte hain aur Hinduism, Islam ya Christianity maante hain.

Poori duniya ek parivaar (page 140)

Let’s Explore: tumhare padosi samudaay jinke poorvaj sadiyon pehle India aaye. Jawab is pe nirbhar hai ki tum kahan rehte ho. Kuch udaaharan: Mumbai aur Gujarat mein Parsis; Mumbai, Thane aur Kochi mein Jews; Kerala mein Syrian Christians aur Mappilas; Gujarat aur Karnataka mein Siddis; Kolkata mein Armenians; Dharamshala aur Bylakuppe mein Tibetans. Class charcha mein socho ki wo kya peechhe chhod aaye, shuru mein kya mushkil tha (nayi bhasha, khaana aur reetiyan), padosiyon ne unke saath kaisa bartaav kiya, unhone kya rakha aur India ko kya diya.

Let’s Explore: kisi kahaani ya sthaaniya parampara mein aise hi moolya; class ki hastlikhit kitaab. Shuruaat ke liye udaaharan: (Extra) Raja Shibi ki kahaani, jinhone sharan mein aaye kabootar ko bachaane ke liye baaz ko apna maans de diya; har aane waale ko paani aur khaana dene ki reet; gurdwaron ka langar, jahan kisi bhi dharm ke har insaan ko khaana parosa jaata hai. Bado se apne parivaar ya ilaake ki kahaaniyan poochho, har kahaani ek do page mein likho, chitra banaao, aur pannon ko jodkar class ki kitaab banaao.

Questions and activities (page 142)

1. Duniya ke naqshe pe raaste banaao. Unhe kaun si bhaugolik rukaavatein paar karni padi? Outline map pe har samudaay ke desh se India ke us hisse tak teer banaao jahan wo base. Neeche ka sketch dishayein dikhata hai:

• West Asia se Jews aur Syriac Christians, Persia se Parsis, Arabia se Arab vyapaari aur East Africa se Siddis samudr ke raaste aaye, Arabian Sea aur Indian Ocean paar karke, toofaan aur jahaaz toot jaane ke khatre jhelte hue, jaise Bene Israel ke saath hua.
• Persia (Iran) se Armenians aur Baha’is samudr se ya zameen ke raaste aa sakte the, pahaadon, sookhe pathaaron aur registaanon ko paar karke.
• Tibetans ne Himalaya paar kiya, oonche barfeele darron aur kadi thand ke beech.
• Polish bachchon ne yuddh ke dauraan Europe se Asia paar lambi yatraayein ki.

2. Indian sanskriti ke kaun se mool moolya alag alag background ke logon ka swaagat karne dete hain? Vasudhaiva kutumbakam, poori duniya ko ek parivaar maanna; atithi devo bhava, mehmaan ko bhagwaan maanna; sarve bhavantu sukhinah, sabke sukh ki kaamna; karuna aur maitri, jaise Karaniya Metta Sutta mein; ahimsa; kai dharmon aur vichaar dhaaraon ka saath saath rehna; aur saari maanavta ki ekta ka vichaar.

3. Parsis jinhone naam kamaaya, aur doosre samudaayon ke log jinhone India ko ghar banaaya. Diye gaye Parsi naam hain Homi Bhabha, physicist jinhone India ke nuclear programme ki agwaai ki; Sam Manekshaw, India ke pehle Field Marshal, jinhone 1971 mein sena ki agwaai ki; Ratan Tata, udyogpati; Fali Nariman aur Nani Palkhivala, bade vakeel; aur Cornelia Sorabji, India ki pehli mahila vakeel. Doosre samudaayon se shuruaati naam: Bene Israel ke kavi Nissim Ezekiel; Baghdadi Jewish parivaaron se 1971 ke yuddh ke hero Lieutenant General J. F. R. Jacob aur silent film star Ruby Myers; Syrian Christian parivaar se doodh ki White Revolution ke agua Verghese Kurien; aur Siddis ki Hirabai Lobi. Har ek ke baare mein library mein aur jaano.

4. Samudaayon pe class project. Class ko groups mein baanto, har group ek samudaay le. Har group pata kare ki uska samudaay kahan se, kab aur kyun aaya, kahan basa, kya rakha aur India ko kya diya, textbook, library, internet aur ho sake to us samudaay ke kisi sadasya se baat karke. Natije dilchasp tareeke se pesh karo: doodh aur shakkar ki kahaani ka chhota natak, raaston aur taareekhon ka poster, Good Maharaja pe gaana, ya kisi tyohaar ki painting.
