Proposed deletion of Mehboob desai

edit
 

The article Mehboob desai has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Appears to be an essay about Sardar Patel, on whom we already have an article - see WP:NOT#ESSAY. Article title appears to be essay author's name.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

A tag has been placed on User:Mehboob Desai requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a clear copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hang on}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Your edit here was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline from Wikipedia. The external link you added or changed is on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. I removed the following link(s): http://departmentofhistorybhavuniindia.blogspot.com, http://mehboobdesai.blogspot.com. If the external link you inserted or changed was to a blog, forum, free web hosting service, fansite, or similar site (see 'Links to avoid', #11), then please check the information on the external site thoroughly. Note that such sites should probably not be linked to if they contain information that is in violation of the creator's copyright (see Linking to copyrighted works), or they are not written by a recognised, reliable source. Linking to sites that you are involved with is also strongly discouraged (see conflict of interest).
If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page.

"ગૂજરાત વિદ્યાપીઠ"નો લોગો : ડૉ. મહેબૂબ દેસાઈ

edit

આગામી ૧ ડીસેમ્બરના રોજ ૯૫ વર્ષની ગાંધીજી દ્વારા સ્થાપિત ગૂજરાત વિદ્યાપીઠના ૬૨માં પદવીદાન સમારંભમાં ભારતના રાષ્ટ્રપતિ માં.પ્રણવ મુખરજી મુખ્ય મહેમાન તરીકે આવી રહ્યા છે. ગાંધીજીએ ગુજરાત વિદ્યાપીઠની સ્થાપના ૧૮ ઓક્ટોબર ૧૯૨૦ના રોજ કરી હતી. એ અસહકાર આંદોલનનો યુગ હતો. પરિણામે દેશના યુવાનોને રાષ્ટ્રીય કેળવણી આપવા અને સ્વાતંત્ર સંગ્રામના સૈનિકોના સંતાનોને રચનાત્મક અને રાષ્ટ્રીય શિક્ષણ આપવાના ઉદેશથી એક સમિતિની રચના કરવામાં આવી. સદરહુ સમિતિએ ગૂજરાત વિદ્યાપીઠનું બંધારણ રચી સં. ૧૯૭૬ના આસો સુદ ૭ તા. ૧૮.૧૦.૧૯૧૮ને દિવસે ગૂજરાત વિદ્યાપીઠની સ્થાપના કરી. તેના નિયામકો તરીકે એ સમિતિના ચાલુ સભ્યોની નિમણુંક કરવામાં આવી. સમિતિના પ્રમુખ મહાત્મા ગાંધીજીએ ગૂજરાત વિદ્યાપીઠના કુલપતિનું પદ સ્વીકાર્યું. અને તેના આજીવન કુલપતિ બની રહ્યા. મહા વિદ્યાલયના પ્રથમ આચાર્ય શ્રી અસુદમલ ટેકચંદ ગિડવાનીજી બન્યા. જેઓ અંગ્રેજીના અધ્યાપક હતા.

ગૂજરાત વિદ્યાપીઠ રાષ્ટ્રીય શિક્ષણ આપતી સંસ્થા તરીકે અસ્તિત્વમાં આવી હતી. પરિણામે સર્વધર્મ સમભાવનો સિધ્ધાંત તેના પાયામાં હતો અને આજે યથાવત છે. જે ગૂજરાત વિદ્યાપીઠના લોગોનો અભ્યાસ કરતા પણ માલુમ પડે છે. ગૂજરાત વિદ્યાપીઠના લોગોમાં હિંદુ અને ઇસ્લામ બને ધર્મના શિક્ષણ અને સંસ્કારોને લગતા સુત્રો દ્રશ્યમાન થાય છે. ગૂજરાત વિદ્યાપીઠના લોગોના પ્રથમ વર્તુળમાં ઉપર "સા વિદ્યા યા વિમુક્તયે" "सा विद्या या विमुक्तये" લખ્યું છે. જે શ્રીવિષ્ણુપુરાણના પ્રથમ સ્કંધના ૧૯માં અધ્યાયના ૪૧માં શ્લોકમાંથી લેવામાં આવેલા છે.એ સપૂર્ણ શ્લોક નીચે મુજબ છે. "तत्कर्म यन्न बन्धाय सा विद्या या विमुक्तये। आयासायापरं कर्म विद्यऽन्या शिल्पनैपुणम्॥१-१९-४१॥ "सा विद्या या विमुक्तये" અર્થાત "એ વિદ્યા (જ્ઞાન ) છે જે માનવીને બંધનોથી મુક્ત કરે છે." આખા શ્લોકનો અર્થ થાય છે, "સાચું કર્મ એ છે જે બંધન નિર્માણ કરતુ નથી, સાચી વિદ્યા એ છે કે જે મુક્તિ અર્પે છે. આ સિવાય જે કર્મ છે તે માત્ર પરિશ્રમ છે. અને આ સિવાય જે વિદ્યા છે તે માત્ર કારીગરી છે." આ જ વર્તુળની નીચે ગૂજરાત વિદ્યાપીઠ લખેલું છે. તેની બંને બાજુઓમાં જ્ઞાનના પ્રતિક સમી બે દીવડીઓ પ્રકાશમાન છે. બીજા વર્તુળમાં જ્ઞાનનું વટવૃક્ષ ભાસે છે. જેના નીચે કમળ આકારની આકૃતિમાં ગુજરાતીમાં અમદાવાદ લખેલું છે. અમદાવાદ શબ્દની બરાબર ઉપર અર્ધ વર્તુળ આકારે અરબી ભાષામાં હદીસનું અવતરણ આપવામાં આવ્યું છે. હદીસ એટલે મહમદ સાહેબે જે કહ્યું, કર્યું તેની તેમના અનુયાયીઓએ લીધેલ નોંધ. આવી નોધોના સંગ્રહને હદીસ કહે છે. ગૂજરાત વિદ્યાપીઠના લોગોમાં મુકાયેલી તિરમીઝી શરીફ હદીસની રિવાયત (સુવાક્ય-અવતરણ) આ પ્રમાણે છે. "અલ હિકમતો ઝાલ્લ્તૂલ મોમીન ફહૈસો વજ્દહા અહક્કો બીહા" અર્થાત "હિકમત( જ્ઞાન )મુસ્લિમોની ગૂમ થયેલી ચીજ છે.જ્યાંથી તે મળી આવે ત્યાંથી તેને મેળવી લેવાનો તેમને અધિકાર છે"

આવી જ અન્ય એક હદીસ પણ છે.જેમાં કહ્યું છે, "જ્ઞાન મેળવવા માટે ચીન જવું પડે તો પણ જવું જોઈએ" જ્ઞાન અંગેનો મહંમદ સાહેબનો એક પ્રસંગ પણ હદીસમાં નોંધાયેલો છે. જંગે બદ્રમાં પકડાયેલા કેદીઓને શી સજા કરવી, એ અંગે બધા વિચારી રહ્યા હતા. કોઈકે એ અંગે હઝરત મહંમદ પયગમ્બર સાહેબને પૂછ્યું, "યુધ્ધમાં પકડાયેલા કેદીઓને આપણે શી સજા કરીશું.?" આપે ફરમાવ્યું, "દરેક કેદી દસ દસ અભણોને લખતા વાંચતા શીખવાડે, એ જ તેમની સજા છે દંડ છે." મહંમદ સાહેબ ઉપર ઉતરેલી સૌ પ્રથમ વહી અર્થાત ઈશ્વરી આદેશનો પ્રથમ શબ્દ હતો "ઇકરાહ" અર્થાત પઢ, વાંચ. ટુંકમાં ગૂજરાત વિદ્યાપીઠના લોગોમાં મુકવામાં આવેલ તિરમીઝી શરીફની હદીસનું અવતરણ જ્ઞાન માટેની ઇસ્લામની તત્પરતા, સજાગતા વ્યક્ત કરે છે.

જો કે ગૂજરાત વિદ્યાપીઠના લોગોમાં મુકાયેલું તિરમીઝી શરીફ હદીસનું ઉપરોક્ત અવતરણ ગાંધીજીને કોણે સૂચવ્યું હતું, તે અંગે ઇતિહાસમાં કોઈ આધાર સાંપડતા નથી. પણ એક ઇતિહાસના અભ્યાસુ તરીકે અનુમાન કરી શકાય. એ યુગમાં ગાંધીજીની નજીક ઇસ્લામના જ્ઞાતા એક માત્ર ઈમામ બાવઝીર સાહેબ હતા. ગાંધીજી ૧૯૧૫માં ભારતમાં આવ્યા ત્યારે તેમની સાથે દક્ષિણ આફ્રિકાથી ઈમામ બાવઝીર સાહેબ પણ પત્ની અને બે દીકરીઓ સાથે અમદાવાદ આવ્યા હતા. ગાંધીજીએ સાબરમતી આશ્રમ સ્થાપ્યો. તેમાં જ ઈમામસાહેબે પોતાનું મકાન બાંધ્યું હતું. જે પછી "ઈમામ મંઝિલ" કહેવાયું. આજીવન તેઓ તેમાં રહ્યા. એમની પુત્રી અમીનાનાં લગ્ન ધંધુકાના વતની ગુલામરસૂલ કુરેશી સાથે નક્કી થયાં, ત્યારે તેની કંકોતરી ગાંધીજીએ પોતાના નામે લખી હતી. આશ્રમની મિલકતના પ્રથમ ટ્રસ્ટીઓમાં એક ઇમામ સાહેબ હતા. આજે આશ્રમના "સુરક્ષા અને સ્મારક ટ્રસ્ટ" ના પ્રમુખ ટ્રસ્ટી એમના દૌહિત્ર મા. શ્રી હમીદભાઈ કુરેશી છે. બાવઝીર સાહેબ પેશ ઈમામ હતા. અર્થાત મસ્જીતમાં નમાઝ પઢાવવાનું કાર્ય કરતા હતા. ઇસ્લામના જ્ઞાતા અને પાંચ વક્તના નમાઝી હતા. કુરાને શરીફ અને હદીસનું તેમને ઊંડું જ્ઞાન હતું. સંભવ છે ઈમામ સાહેબે ગાંધીજીને હદીસનું આ અવતરણ ગુજરાત વિદ્યાપીઠના લોગોમાં મુકવાનું સુચન કર્યું હોય. અથવા ખુદ ગાંધીજીએ તેમની પાસે આવું અવતરણ મુકવાની વાત કરી હોય અને તેના સંદર્ભે ઈમામ સાહબે તેમને હદીસનું આ અવતરણ સૂચવ્યું હોય. મારી આ અવધારણાથી સાબરમતી સુરક્ષા અને સ્મારક ટ્રસ્ટ, અમદાવાદના ટ્રસ્ટીઓ મા. શ્રી અમૃતલાલ મોદી અને મા. શ્રી હમીદભાઈ કુરેશી પણ સંમત થાય છે.
