SAM " PUNJAB IS STILL FERTILE BUT PRODUCING MORE RANJHA'S THAN FOODGRAINS"
Punjab the land of five rivers is a very fertile place and apart from being the granary of the country from the time civilization started, it also boasts of producing many HEROES, LEGENDS, GURUS and SAINTS. Even sons of Lord Ram were born to Godess SITA at aplace called Ram tirath in Amritsar and towns of LAHORE AND KASUR ARE named after their founder LUV AND KUSH. Many saints and all OuR except Guru GOBIND SINGHJI was born in punjab.
Apart from above , the punjab the land of Love, faith, trust and vigour also gave birth to many of its sons which were avante garde in their own Perspective and dimensions. Ranjha , the great hero of Tragical everlasting Love story of HEER- RANJHA was also from punjab who left an indeliable mark on psyche of every punjabi even born today and has become a role model for ever altruistic punjabi youth.
The realities of today's world are very different from the one that existed at the time of Ranjha Who despite being a heir to throne to kingdom of Hazara ,left it for his beloved HEER and became grazer of her cattle for 13 years.
Today Punjabi youth can neither match Ranjha at the social and Financial position nor at the commitment level, but still every lover(Tom,Dick and Harry) considears himself the reincarnation of Ranjha. The problem has reached such a propotions that all unemployed vagabonds, addicts and other unscruplous elements like sons of soil have jumped in the Band wagon.The magnitude of problem can be gauged from the fact the Punjabi youth of Today can been seen heading for getting their Audio cassettes recorded even by selling their lands to sing their own jarring hallucinated version of HEER-RANJHA story.In punjab ,it seems everybody belongs to the lost clan of Ranjha family out to get the modern reincarnations of Barbie dolls HEERS.Meanwhile as far agriculture is concerned, it is suffering and has passed over Manhindra singh TILLO ( psuedo name of migrant Biharis who by default are punjabis today)variety types.
Once one of my British friend named Isabelle was on holiday in punjab and gave me a prescription to me to solve the problem of Weed called Ranjha brigade.She Prescribed" you find out where is Ranjha and then after giving him some compensation and gainful employment ,get him married otherwise he has a potential to sway the youth in an undesired direction". I was at loss of words to her suggestion because her diagnosis and treatment which she prescribed were right but her temporal settings of events(TIME SEQUENCE of events) have gone wrong. But still it was a suggestion worth considering...
IN true sense if one looks at both the above problems ,the answer it is seen lies in deprivation :In ranjha's case it can be percieved deprivation of love while in in agricultural sphere it can percieved deprivation of loss of land due to constant fragmantation and loss of soil fertility.
The government is doing its bit by trying to bring Second green revolution while punjabi Mundas are doing there bit by churning more cassetes on Ranjha; a sign of EVERGREEN REVOLUTION............
