The Enemy - Pure Hindi Summary For Up Board

यह कहानी द्वितीय विश्व युद्ध के समय जापान की है। डॉ. सडाओ हॉकी जापान का प्रसिद्ध सर्जन है। वह जापान के राजा का निजी डॉक्टर भी है। वह अपनी पत्नी हाना के साथ समुद्र के किनारे एक घर में रहता है।

एक दिन तूफान के बाद सुबह सडाओ और हाना समुद्र के किनारे टहल रहे थे। उन्हें समुद्र में एक आदमी बेहोश पड़ा मिला। वह अमेरिकी था - अमेरिकी नौसेना का सैनिक। उसके कपड़ों पर 'U.S. Navy' लिखा था। उसकी पीठ पर गोली लगी थी और खून बह रहा था। वह युद्ध का कैदी था, दुश्मन था।

सडाओ ने सोचा कि अगर वह इस अमेरिकी को ऐसे ही छोड़ देगा तो वह मर जायेगा। पर अगर वह उसे घर ले गया तो लोग उसे देशद्रोही कहेंगे क्योंकि वह दुश्मन की मदद कर रहा है। हाना भी डर गई। पर सडाओ डॉक्टर था, उसका धर्म था जान बचाना।

वह उस घायल अमेरिकी को अपने घर ले आया। उसके नौकरों ने कहा कि यह दुश्मन है, इसे मत बचाओ, पुलिस को दे दो। पर सडाओ ने कहा कि यह इंसान है पहले, दुश्मन बाद में।

सडाओ ने अपने ऑपरेशन रूम में उसका ऑपरेशन किया। गोली उसकी पीठ में फंसी थी, दिल के बहुत पास। बहुत मुश्किल ऑपरेशन था। हाना ने उसकी मदद की, हालांकि वह खुद डर रही थी। सडाओ ने गोली निकाल दी और अमेरिकी की जान बच गई।

अमेरिकी धीरे-धीरे ठीक होने लगा। उसका नाम टॉम था। वह बहुत कमजोर था। हाना उसकी सेवा करती थी, उसे खाना देती थी। पर नौकर डर के मारे घर छोड़कर चले गए। उन्होंने कहा कि मालिक दुश्मन को बचा रहा है।

अब सडाओ के सामने समस्या थी - वह इस अमेरिकी का क्या करे? अगर पुलिस को पता चला तो उसे गिरफ्तार कर लेंगे। वह जापान के जनरल तकावा से मिला जो खुद बीमार था और सडाओ उसका इलाज करता था। जनरल ने कहा कि तुम चिंता मत करो, मैं अपने निजी हत्यारों से इस अमेरिकी को चुपचाप मरवा दूंगा। सडाओ मान गया।

पर कई रात तक जनरल के आदमी नहीं आए। सडाओ को नींद नहीं आई। उसे लगा कि जनरल अपना वादा भूल गया। आखिर में सडाओ ने खुद ही अमेरिकी को बचाने का फैसला किया।

उसने अमेरिकी को एक नाव दी, खाना दिया, कपड़े दिए, टॉर्च दी और कहा कि तुम रात में यहाँ से भाग जाओ, पास में ही एक टापू है जहाँ से अमेरिकी जहाज गुजरते हैं। अमेरिकी चला गया।

अगले दिन सडाओ ने जनरल को बताया कि अमेरिकी भाग गया। जनरल ने कहा कि वह अपने ऑपरेशन के कारण भूल गया था और उसे माफ कर दे।

सडाओ समुद्र के किनारे खड़ा होकर सोचता है - वह अमेरिकी को क्यों नहीं मार सका? क्योंकि वह डॉक्टर है और इंसानियत सबसे बड़ा धर्म है। वह सोचता है कि क्या अमेरिकी लोग भी उसके जैसे ही हैं? वह उन्हें क्यों दुश्मन माने?

कहानी सिखाती है कि देश से बड़ा इंसानियत है और डॉक्टर का धर्म सबसे पहले जान बचाना है, चाहे वह दुश्मन ही क्यों न हो।

But as doctor, his duty is to save life irrespective of enemy or friend. He studied in America, his medical ethics says save life. He is human first, enemy later.

He also conflicts about what to do after saving - kill him or save? He tells General who promises to kill American secretly, but when General forgets, Sadao again chooses humanity and helps American escape.

It shows conflict between patriotism and humanity, duty as doctor vs duty as citizen. Sadao chooses humanity.

Message is that all humans are same, enemy also has right to live. War creates enemy, but humanity is bigger. Compassion and kindness should be above country. Pearl S. Buck gives message of universal brotherhood.
