FLAMINGO POETRY CHAPTER-4
A Roadside Stand Class 12 Question Answer | English Notes By Atul Sir। UP Board & CBSE
A Roadside Stand - Pure Hindi Summary For Up Board
यह कविता रॉबर्ट फ्रॉस्ट की है।
गाँव में हाईवे के किनारे एक गरीब किसान ने एक छोटा सा स्टैंड (दुकान) बनाया है। वह वहाँ जंगली बेर, बेरी, स्क्वैश (कद्दू जैसा फल) बेचना चाहता है ताकि शहर के अमीर लोग जो गाड़ी में तेजी से जाते हैं, वे रुकें और उसका सामान खरीदें, जिससे उसे कुछ पैसे मिलें और वह भी शहर जैसा जीवन जी सके।
पर शहर के लोग उसकी दुकान पर नहीं रुकते। वे तेजी से गाड़ी चलाते हैं और सोचते हैं कि यह दुकान सड़क की सुंदरता खराब कर रही है। वे शिकायत करते हैं कि इस स्टैंड ने सड़क के नजारे को बिगाड़ दिया है, इसके अक्षर गलत हैं, पेंट खराब है।
किसान बहुत उम्मीद से इंतजार करता है कि कोई गाड़ी रुकेगी और कुछ खरीदेगा। वह हजारों रुपयों की उम्मीद नहीं करता, वह बस चाहता है कि शहर के लोग उसके सामान से कुछ पैसे दे दें ताकि वह भी तरक्की कर सके। पर कोई नहीं रुकता। कुछ गाड़ियाँ रुकती भी हैं तो सिर्फ यह पूछने के लिए कि रास्ता किधर है या पेट्रोल कहाँ मिलेगा, सामान खरीदने के लिए नहीं।
कवि कहता है कि सरकार कहती है कि वह इन गरीब लोगों की मदद करेगी, उन्हें शहर के पास ले जायेगी, पर असल में सरकार उन्हें धोखा देती है। सरकार के लोग कहते हैं कि हम तुम्हें अच्छे घर देंगे, पर वे उन्हें उनके जंगल और आजादी से दूर ले जाते हैं और उनका फायदा उठाते हैं।
किसान का पैसा सिनेमा में, अमीरों के हाथों में चला जाता है, गरीब और गरीब ही रह जाता है। कवि को इस बात का बहुत दुख है कि अमीर और गरीब के बीच बहुत बड़ा अंतर है। अमीर लोग गरीबों की भावनाओं को नहीं समझते।
अंत में कवि कहता है कि वह खुद भी इस दर्द से दुखी है और सोचता है कि काश वह इन गरीब लोगों के दर्द को एक बार में खत्म कर दे।
कविता सिखाती है कि गरीब किसानों की मदद करनी चाहिए, उनकी उम्मीदों को नहीं तोड़ना चाहिए, अमीर-गरीब का भेदभाव खत्म होना चाहिए।
