_The Adventure - Pure Hindi Summary For UP Board_
यह कहानी जयंत नार्लीकर ने लिखी है। यह प्रोफेसर गंगाधरपंत गायतोण्डे की कहानी है।
*कहानी:*
प्रोफेसर गायतोण्डे पुणे में रहते हैं, इतिहास के प्रोफेसर हैं। वह मराठा इतिहास पर किताब लिख रहे हैं - पानीपत की तीसरी लड़ाई पर।
वह सोचते हैं कि अगर मराठा पानीपत में जीत जाते तो भारत का इतिहास अलग होता।
एक दिन वह मुंबई से ट्रेन में जा रहे हैं, और अचानक एक अजीब घटना होती है - वह एक अलग दुनिया में चले जाते हैं, जहाँ इतिहास बदल गया है।
*दूसरी दुनिया में:*
इस दूसरी दुनिया में मराठा पानीपत की लड़ाई जीत गए हैं! पानीपत में अहमद शाह अब्दाली हार गया और मराठा जीत गए।
इसलिए भारत में अंग्रेज नहीं आए। भारत आजाद है, मराठा राज कर रहे हैं। पेशवा राज है।
गायतोण्डे पुणे की जगह मुंबई जाते हैं - वहाँ ब्रिटिश राज नहीं है, इसलिए मुंबई का नाम नहीं बदला, सब कुछ अलग है।
वह पुणे में एक किताब देखते हैं जो उन्होंने लिखी ही नहीं, पर उस दुनिया में वह किताब मौजूद है और इतिहास अलग लिखा है।
वह एक प्रोफेसर देशपांडे से मिलते हैं जो कहते हैं कि यह सब "Catastrophe Theory" से हुआ है - दो दुनियाएँ हैं, एक में मराठा हारे, एक में जीते। गायतोण्डे दूसरी दुनिया में चले गए हैं।
गायतोण्डे को समझ आता है कि इतिहास कैसे बदल सकता है, एक छोटी घटना से पूरा भविष्य बदल जाता है।
अंत में वह अपनी असली दुनिया में वापस आ जाते हैं, और समझते हैं कि हमारा इतिहास जो है, वह एक संभावना है, दूसरी संभावना भी हो सकती थी। वह अपनी किताब में लिखते हैं कि अगर मराठा जीतते तो भारत का इतिहास अलग होता।
कहानी सिखाती है कि इतिहास में क्या हुआ, क्यों हुआ, और अगर कुछ और होता तो क्या होता - यह सोचना जरूरी है।
