Kabhi Suna Hai, Mitti Bhi Bolti Hai? – Traditional Knowledge-Based Innovations
Kabhi socha hai, jo mitti humare pairon tale hai, woh kitni kahaniyan chhupaye baithi hai? Hazaaron saalon se, yeh mitti humare purvajon ki vidya, unki hunar ka gawah rahi hai. Yeh mitti un innovations ka gawah hai jo humare jeevan ko aasaan aur samriddh banati aayi hain. Aaj, hum chalte hain uss raah par jahan yeh mitti apne andar dafan, ‘Traditional Knowledge-Based Innovations’ ke raaz kholti hai.
Itihas Ki Dhool Mein Chhupe Ratan: The Context
Traditional Knowledge-Based Innovations (TKBI) ka matlab hai woh naye aur sudhre huye tareeke jo humari sanskriti aur parampraon se nikalte hain. Yeh koi naye science lab mein nahi bante, balki yeh humare kisaanon ke kheton mein, humare weavers ke hatho mein, humare vaidyas ke jadi-bootiyon ke gyan mein paida hote hain.
Yeh koi aaj ki baat nahi hai. Humaari Indus Valley Civilization (3300-1700 BCE) se lekar aaj tak, har yug mein, humare logon ne apne gyan ka istemal kar ke mushkilon ka samadhaan dhunda hai. Irrigation techniques, Ayurveda, Yoga, Vastu Shastra – yeh sabhi TKBI ke misaal hain.
Iska mahatva isliye hai kyunki yeh humare itihas aur sanskriti se judi hui hai. Yeh humari Bharatiyata ka ek important hissa hai. Yeh humein yaad dilati hai ki humari roots kitni strong aur rich hain.
Zameeni Sach – Log Aur Jeevan: A Day in the Life
Imagine karo, 16th century ka Rajasthan. Ma Rukmini, ek choti si gaanv ki mahila, subah jaldi uthti hain. Woh jaanti hai ki aaj, unhe apne kheton mein bajra (pearl millet) bona hai. Lekin, woh seedhe beejs nahi boengi. Unhone suna hai ki purane logon ne bataya tha ki agar beejs ko go-mutra (cow urine) mein bhigo kar bone se, woh zyada takatwar bante hain aur bimariyon se bachate hain. Yeh unki maa ne unhe sikhaya tha, unki maa ne unki maa se, aur iss tarah yeh gyan peedhiyon se chalta aaya hai.
Dusri taraf, Raja Man Singh ke darbar mein, ek Vaidya ji, unke rajvaid, ek naya jadi-booti mishran (herbal concoction) bana rahe hain. Unhe pata chala hai ki ek jungle mein ek aisi booti hai, jo logon ko bukhar se bachati hai. Woh booti ka naam hai ‘Neem’. Unhone kayi saalon se padha hai ki Neem ke patte kitne shaktishali hote hain. Iss gyan ko istemal karke, woh ek dawai bana rahe hain jo unke logon ki jaan bachayegi.
Yeh dono hi examples TKBI ke hain. Ma Rukmini ka go-mutra ka istemal ek agricultural innovation hai, aur Vaidya ji ka Neem ka istemal ek medical innovation hai.
Dharohar Aur Pehchan: TKBI Today
Aaj bhi, hum TKBI ko apne aas-paas dekh sakte hain. Ayurveda aur Yoga toh globally recognised hain. Humare architect Vastu Shastra ko follow karte hain, jo humein harmony aur prosperity ke liye homes aur buildings banane mein madad karta hai.
Aaj kal toh, log sustainable living ki baat karte hain. Lekin, humare purvajon ne toh hamesha se hi sustainable living kiya hai. Unhone hamesha se prakriti (nature) ke saath harmony mein rehna seekha hai. Humare TKBI humein yeh sikhate hain ki kaise hum apne resources ko samajhdari se istemal kar sakte hain aur apne environment ko protect kar sakte hain.
TKBI humari Bharatiya sanskriti ka ek important hissa hai. Yeh humein yaad dilata hai ki humari roots kitni rich aur strong hain. Yeh humein motivate karta hai ki hum apne purvajon ke gyan ko istemal karke, ek better future bana sakte hain.
Mazedar Tathya Ya Bhram-Bhanjak: Fun Facts
-
Myth: Ayurveda sirf ek ‘alternative medicine’ hai.
Reality: Ayurveda ek complete healthcare system hai, jo body, mind, aur spirit ko balance karne par focus karta hai. WHO (World Health Organization) bhi Ayurveda ko ek traditional medicine system ke roop mein recognise karta hai. -
Fun Fact: Humare purvajon ne kayi tarah ke irrigation systems banaye the, jaise ki ‘Kuhls’ (Himachal Pradesh mein) aur ‘Zing’ (Ladakh mein). Yeh systems rainwater ko collect karte the aur use kheton tak pahunchate the. Yeh systems aaj bhi use hote hain!
Drishya Aur Bhavnayein: Sensory Experience
Imagine karo ki tum Ma Rukmini ke kheton mein khade ho. Dhup tez hai, lekin hawa mein mitti ki khushboo hai. Tum sun sakte ho pakshiyon ki chahchahat aur kheton mein kaam karne wale logon ki aawaz. Tum feel kar sakte ho mitti ki garmahat apne pairon tale.
Ab imagine karo ki tum Raja Man Singh ke darbar mein ho. Tum sun sakte ho Vaidya ji ke jadi-bootiyon ko peesne ki aawaz aur darbar ke santriyon ki talwaron ki jhanjhanahat. Tum smell kar sakte ho Neem aur dusri jadi-bootiyon ki teekhi khushboo. Tum feel kar sakte ho vaidyas ke gyan aur tajurbe ka bharosa.
Yeh dono drishya humein dikhate hain ki TKBI sirf ek intellectual concept nahi hai. Yeh ek living, breathing part hai humari zindagi ka.
