മലിനീകരണത്തിൽ നിന്ന് പരിസ്ഥിതിയെ സംരക്ഷിക്കുന്നതിനെ പരിസ്ഥിതി സംരക്ഷണം എന്ന് വിളിക്കുന്നു. പരിസ്ഥിതി സംരക്ഷണത്തിന്റെ പ്രധാന ലക്ഷ്യം ഭാവിയിൽ പരിസ്ഥിതി അല്ലെങ്കിൽ പ്രകൃതി വിഭവങ്ങൾ സംരക്ഷിക്കുക എന്നതാണ്. ഈ നൂറ്റാണ്ടിൽ വികസനത്തിന്റെ പേരിൽ നാം പരിസ്ഥിതിയെ തുടർച്ചയായി നശിപ്പിക്കുകയാണ്. പരിസ്ഥിതി സംരക്ഷണമില്ലാതെ ഈ ഭൂമുഖത്ത് അധികകാലം നിലനിൽക്കാൻ കഴിയാത്ത അവസ്ഥയിലേക്കാണ് ഇപ്പോൾ നാം എത്തിയിരിക്കുന്നത്. അതുകൊണ്ടാണ് പരിസ്ഥിതി സംരക്ഷണത്തിൽ നാമെല്ലാവരും ശ്രദ്ധിക്കേണ്ടത്.

മലയാളത്തിൽ പരിസ്ഥിതി സംരക്ഷണത്തെക്കുറിച്ചുള്ള ഹ്രസ്വവും ദീർഘവുമായ ഉപന്യാസം

ഉപന്യാസം – 1 (300 വാക്കുകൾ).

ഇന്നത്തെ മനുഷ്യൻ പ്രകൃതിയെ പൂർണ്ണമായും കീഴടക്കിക്കഴിഞ്ഞു. വികസനത്തിന്റെ വീക്ഷണകോണിൽ ഇത് നല്ലതാണ്, പക്ഷേ അങ്ങനെ ചെയ്തതിലൂടെ മനുഷ്യൻ സ്വന്തം കാലിൽ കോടാലി അടിച്ചു. ശാസ്ത്രത്തിന്റെ സഹായത്തോടെ മനുഷ്യനും ചന്ദ്രനിലേക്ക് പോയിട്ടുണ്ട്, എന്നാൽ ആധുനികതയുടെ പേരിൽ പ്രകൃതിയെ കൈയേറ്റം ചെയ്ത രീതിയനുസരിച്ച്, മനുഷ്യരായ നമ്മൾ അതിന്റെ ഭാരം വഹിക്കേണ്ടിവരും.

കൃത്യസമയത്ത് ശ്രദ്ധിച്ചില്ലെങ്കിൽ, പരിസ്ഥിതിയെ സംരക്ഷിക്കുന്നതിനെക്കുറിച്ച് ചിന്തിച്ചില്ലെങ്കിൽ, അത് ഗുരുതരമായ പ്രത്യാഘാതങ്ങൾ ഉണ്ടാക്കും. മുഴുവൻ സൗരയൂഥത്തിലും, നമ്മുടെ ഭൂമിയിൽ മാത്രമേ ജീവൻ സാധ്യമാകൂ. എന്നാൽ ഇത് അധികകാലം സാധ്യമല്ല. യഥാസമയം മാലിന്യമുക്തമാക്കി പരിസ്ഥിതിയെ സംരക്ഷിക്കണം.

എന്താണ് പരിസ്ഥിതി സംരക്ഷണം ?

പരിസ്ഥിതി എന്ന വാക്ക് പരിസ്ഥിതി + കവർ എന്ന രണ്ട് പദങ്ങൾ കൊണ്ടാണ് നിർമ്മിച്ചിരിക്കുന്നത്. പരി എന്നാൽ ‘ചുറ്റുമുള്ളത്’ എന്നും കവർ എന്നാൽ ‘ചുറ്റപ്പെട്ടത്’ എന്നും അർത്ഥം. നമുക്ക് ചുറ്റുമുള്ള ആവരണത്തെ പരിസ്ഥിതി എന്ന് വിളിക്കുന്നു. മറ്റൊരു വിധത്തിൽ പറഞ്ഞാൽ, മനുഷ്യർ, സസ്യങ്ങൾ, മൃഗങ്ങൾ, പക്ഷികൾ എന്നിവയുൾപ്പെടെ എല്ലാ ബയോട്ടിക്, അജിയോട്ടിക് ഘടകങ്ങളുടെയും ഗ്രൂപ്പിനെ പരിസ്ഥിതി എന്ന് വിളിക്കുന്നു. അതിൽ വായു, ജലം, മണ്ണ്, മരങ്ങൾ, മലകൾ, നീരുറവകൾ, നദികൾ തുടങ്ങിയവ ഉൾപ്പെടുന്നു.

പരിസ്ഥിതി വ്യവസ്ഥകളിലും അവയുടെ ഘടകഭാഗങ്ങളിലും അനാവശ്യമായ മാറ്റങ്ങൾ ഉണ്ടാകുന്നത് തടയുന്നത് പരിസ്ഥിതി സംരക്ഷണം എന്നും നിർവചിക്കാം. മറ്റൊരു വിധത്തിൽ പറഞ്ഞാൽ, പരിസ്ഥിതി സംരക്ഷണം എന്ന് പറയാം

മനുഷ്യ പ്രവർത്തനങ്ങളുമായി ബന്ധപ്പെട്ട മാറ്റങ്ങളിൽ നിന്ന് പരിസ്ഥിതി വ്യവസ്ഥകളുടെയും അവയുടെ ഘടകഭാഗങ്ങളുടെയും സംരക്ഷണം; ഒപ്പം
ആവാസവ്യവസ്ഥയിലും അവയുടെ ഘടകഭാഗങ്ങളിലും അനാവശ്യമായ സ്വാഭാവിക മാറ്റങ്ങൾ തടയുന്നതിന്റെ പേരാണിത്.

പരിസ്ഥിതി സംരക്ഷണം എന്നത് വ്യക്തികളുടെയും സംഘടനകളുടെയും സർക്കാരുകളുടെയും പ്രകൃതി പരിസ്ഥിതിയെ സംരക്ഷിക്കുന്നതിനുള്ള പ്രവർത്തനമാണ്. പ്രകൃതി വിഭവങ്ങളും നിലവിലുള്ള പ്രകൃതി പരിസ്ഥിതിയും സംരക്ഷിക്കാനും സാധ്യമാകുന്നിടത്ത് നാശനഷ്ടങ്ങൾക്കും പുനർനിർമ്മാണ നടപടികൾക്കും ശ്രദ്ധ നൽകാനും ഇത് ലക്ഷ്യമിടുന്നു. പാരിസ്ഥിതിക വീക്ഷണകോണിൽ നിന്ന്, മനുഷ്യൻ ആവാസവ്യവസ്ഥയുടെ അവിഭാജ്യ ഘടകമായി കണക്കാക്കപ്പെടുന്നു.

ഉപന്യാസം – 2 (400 വാക്കുകൾ)

പരിസ്ഥിതിയിൽ മനുഷ്യനുള്ള പ്രാധാന്യം മറ്റ് മൃഗങ്ങളെപ്പോലെ തന്നെ. മരങ്ങളുടെയും ചെടികളുടെയും സാന്നിധ്യം മനുഷ്യന്റെ മാത്രം നിലനിൽപ്പിന് അത്യന്താപേക്ഷിതമാണ്. ഈ ചെടികൾ മൂലമാണ് നമുക്ക് ഓക്സിജൻ ലഭിക്കുന്നത്.

ശാസ്ത്രീയമായ പ്രവർത്തനങ്ങൾ മൂലം പരിസ്ഥിതി സന്തുലിതാവസ്ഥ തകരുകയാണ്. ഇതോടൊപ്പം വ്യവസായവൽക്കരണത്തിന്റെ പേരിലും ചിലപ്പോൾ നഗരവൽക്കരണത്തിന്റെ പേരിലും മരങ്ങൾ വിവേചനരഹിതമായി വെട്ടിമുറിക്കലും നടന്നിട്ടുണ്ട്. ജനസംഖ്യാ വർദ്ധന മൂലം പരിസ്ഥിതി പ്രതിസന്ധിയും രൂക്ഷമാകുന്നു.

വനസംരക്ഷണത്തിൽ ജനങ്ങൾ ശ്രദ്ധിക്കണം. പരിസ്ഥിതിക്ക് വനങ്ങൾ പ്രധാനമാണ്. എന്നിരുന്നാലും, വനനശീകരണം തീർച്ചയായും ലോകമെമ്പാടുമുള്ള വനങ്ങളുടെ വിസ്തൃതി കുറയ്ക്കുന്നു.

പരിസ്ഥിതി സംരക്ഷണ നിയമം

പ്രകൃതിദത്തവും കൃത്രിമവുമായ പരിസ്ഥിതിയുടെ മിശ്രിതമാണ് നമ്മുടെ പരിസ്ഥിതി. പരിസ്ഥിതിയുടെ ഗുണനിലവാരം സംരക്ഷിക്കുന്നത് ഇത് കൈകാര്യം ചെയ്യുന്നു.

പരിസ്ഥിതി സംരക്ഷണത്തിന്റെ ഗൗരവം കണക്കിലെടുത്ത്, 1972 ജൂൺ 5 ന് സ്റ്റോക്ക്ഹോമിൽ (സ്വീഡൻ) ആദ്യമായി പരിസ്ഥിതി സമ്മേളനം സംഘടിപ്പിച്ചു. ഇന്ത്യയും പരിസ്ഥിതി സംരക്ഷണത്തിന് സുപ്രധാനമായ നടപടികൾ കൈക്കൊള്ളുകയും 1986-ൽ പരിസ്ഥിതി സംരക്ഷണ നിയമം പാസാക്കുകയും ചെയ്തു. അന്തരീക്ഷത്തിൽ ലയിച്ചിരിക്കുന്ന അപകടകരമായ രാസവസ്തുക്കളുടെ ആധിക്യം കുറയ്ക്കുകയും പരിസ്ഥിതി വ്യവസ്ഥയെ മലിനീകരണത്തിൽ നിന്ന് സംരക്ഷിക്കുകയും ചെയ്യുക എന്നതാണ് ഈ നിയമത്തിന്റെ പ്രധാന ലക്ഷ്യം.

ഈ നിയമത്തിൽ ആകെ 26 വകുപ്പുകളുണ്ട്. ഈ വിഭാഗങ്ങളെ നാല് വ്യത്യസ്ത അധ്യായങ്ങളായി തിരിച്ചിരിക്കുന്നു. ഈ നിയമം 1986 നവംബർ 19 മുതൽ ഇന്ത്യയിലുടനീളം പ്രാബല്യത്തിൽ വരും. എല്ലാ പാരിസ്ഥിതിക പ്രശ്‌നങ്ങളും ഏകീകൃതമായി നോക്കുന്ന സമഗ്രമായ ഒരു പ്രവൃത്തിയാണിത്. ചുരുക്കത്തിൽ ഇങ്ങനെ പറയാം-

കെട്ടിട പരിസ്ഥിതിയുടെ സംരക്ഷണത്തിനും സംരക്ഷണത്തിനും വേണ്ടിയാണ് ഈ നിയമം ഉണ്ടാക്കിയിരിക്കുന്നത്.
പരിസ്ഥിതിക്ക് വേണ്ടി നിർമ്മിച്ച സ്റ്റോക്ക്ഹോം കൺവെൻഷന്റെ എല്ലാ നിയമങ്ങളും ഇത് പാലിക്കുന്നു.
ആവശ്യമായ നിയമങ്ങൾ രൂപീകരിക്കുകയും അവയ്ക്കിടയിൽ സന്തുലിതാവസ്ഥ നിലനിർത്തുകയും ചെയ്യുന്നു.
ആരെങ്കിലും പരിസ്ഥിതിക്ക് ഭീഷണി സൃഷ്ടിച്ചാൽ ശിക്ഷ നൽകാനും വ്യവസ്ഥയുണ്ട്.

പരിസ്ഥിതി സംരക്ഷണത്തിനായി സർക്കാർ കൈക്കൊണ്ട നടപടി അഭിനന്ദനാർഹമാണ്. ഈ നിയമം സർക്കാരിന് അത്തരം അധികാരങ്ങൾ നൽകുന്നു, അതിന്റെ അടിസ്ഥാനത്തിലാണ് സർക്കാർ പരിസ്ഥിതി സംരക്ഷണത്തിന് ആവശ്യമായ നടപടികൾ കൈക്കൊള്ളുകയും പരിസ്ഥിതിക്ക് ഗുണനിലവാര മാനദണ്ഡങ്ങൾ നിശ്ചയിക്കുകയും ചെയ്യുന്നത്. ഇത് മാത്രമല്ല, പരിസ്ഥിതിക്ക് ദോഷം വരുത്തുന്ന വ്യവസായങ്ങൾ അവർക്കായി കർശനമായ നിയമങ്ങൾ ഉണ്ടാക്കുകയും അവയെ അടിച്ചമർത്തുകയും ചെയ്യുന്നു. ഇതിന് കീഴിൽ ചില വ്യവസായ മേഖലകൾക്കും നിയന്ത്രണം ഏർപ്പെടുത്തിയിട്ടുണ്ട്.

ഉപന്യാസം – 3 (500 വാക്കുകൾ)

കഴിഞ്ഞ ഏതാനും പതിറ്റാണ്ടുകളായി മനുഷ്യന്റെ പ്രവർത്തനങ്ങൾ പരിസ്ഥിതിയെ മോശമായി ബാധിച്ചു. ഇതിന്റെ ഏറ്റവും വലിയ ഉദാഹരണമാണ് ഓസോൺ പാളിയുടെ ശോഷണം. അതേസമയം, ആഗോളതാപനം ലോകത്തിന് ഒരു മുന്നറിയിപ്പ് മണിയാണ്. മനുഷ്യർ നടത്തുന്ന വനനശീകരണമാണ് പരിസ്ഥിതി അസന്തുലിതാവസ്ഥയുടെ ഏറ്റവും വലിയ കാരണം.

മനുഷ്യന്റെ ആരോഗ്യം, പ്രകൃതി വിഭവങ്ങൾ, മലിനീകരണം, ഹരിതഗൃഹ പ്രഭാവം മുതലായ മലിനീകരണ ഘടകങ്ങൾ എന്നിവ കാരണം അനഭിലഷണീയമായ പല ഘടകങ്ങളും പരിസ്ഥിതിയെ ബാധിക്കുന്നു.

പരിസ്ഥിതി സംരക്ഷണത്തിന്റെ ഉദ്ദേശ്യം, കാരണം, ഫലം

പരിസ്ഥിതിയുടെ സംരക്ഷണവും മനുഷ്യന്റെ നിലനിൽപ്പിന് അതിന്റെ പ്രസക്തിയും കണക്കിലെടുത്ത്, ലോകത്തിലെ 174 രാജ്യങ്ങൾ പങ്കെടുത്ത ആദ്യത്തെ ഭൗമ ഉച്ചകോടി ബ്രസീലിയൻ നഗരമായ ‘റിയോ ഡി ജനീറോ’യിൽ 1992 ജൂൺ 3-14 ന് നടന്നു. ഈ ഭൂമിയിലെ എല്ലാ മനുഷ്യരുടെയും എല്ലാ ജീവജാലങ്ങളുടെയും ജീവിതത്തിന് പരിസ്ഥിതി സംരക്ഷണം വളരെ പ്രധാനമാണ്.

ഈ പ്രവണത തുടർന്നു, പത്ത് വർഷത്തിന് ശേഷം, 2002-ൽ ജോഹന്നാസ്ബർഗിൽ ഭൗമ ഉച്ചകോടി പുനഃസംഘടിപ്പിക്കുകയും പരിസ്ഥിതി സംരക്ഷണത്തിനായി ഉണ്ടാക്കിയ നിയമങ്ങൾ പാലിക്കാൻ ലോകത്തിലെ എല്ലാ രാജ്യങ്ങളും ആവശ്യപ്പെടുകയും ചെയ്തു. പരിസ്ഥിതി സംരക്ഷിച്ചാൽ ഈ ഭൂമി മാത്രമേ സുരക്ഷിതമാകൂ, ഭൂമിയും സുരക്ഷിതമായിരിക്കും, അപ്പോൾ മാത്രമേ നമുക്ക് അതിജീവിക്കാൻ കഴിയൂ. എല്ലാം പരസ്പരം ബന്ധപ്പെട്ടിരിക്കുന്നു. നമ്മൾ പരിസ്ഥിതിയെ സംരക്ഷിക്കേണ്ടത് മറ്റാർക്കും വേണ്ടിയല്ല, നമുക്കുവേണ്ടിയാണ്.

കാലാവസ്ഥാ വ്യതിയാനം

കാലാവസ്ഥാ വ്യതിയാനം സംഭവിക്കുന്നുണ്ടെന്നും ഹരിതഗൃഹ വാതക ഉദ്‌വമനമാണ് പ്രധാന കാരണമെന്നും 97% കാലാവസ്ഥാ ശാസ്ത്രജ്ഞരും സമ്മതിക്കുന്നു. വരൾച്ച, കാട്ടുതീ, ഉഷ്ണ തരംഗങ്ങൾ, വെള്ളപ്പൊക്കം തുടങ്ങിയ അതിതീവ്ര കാലാവസ്ഥാ സംഭവങ്ങൾ കൂടുതൽ കാർബൺ ഉദ്‌വമനം മൂലമാകാം.

ഇനി ലോകം ജാഗ്രത പാലിക്കുകയും കാർബൺ ബഹിർഗമനം കുറയ്ക്കുകയും വേണം, അല്ലാത്തപക്ഷം അത് ഗുരുതരമായ പ്രത്യാഘാതങ്ങൾ ഉണ്ടാക്കിയേക്കാം. നിലവിൽ, ലോകത്തിലെ കാർബണിന്റെ 21 ശതമാനവും അമേരിക്ക മാത്രമാണ് പുറന്തള്ളുന്നത്.

എല്ലാവരും സഹകരിച്ചാൽ കാർബൺ ബഹിർഗമനം കുറയ്ക്കാനാകും. നമുക്ക് നമ്മുടെ വീട്ടിൽ നിന്ന് തുടങ്ങാം. കുറഞ്ഞ എണ്ണം വാഹനങ്ങൾ ഉപയോഗിക്കുക, ഇലക്ട്രിക് വാഹനങ്ങൾ ഉപയോഗിക്കാൻ ശ്രമിക്കുക.

വനനശീകരണം മൂലം പരിസ്ഥിതിയിൽ കാർബണിന്റെ അളവ് വളരെയധികം വർദ്ധിച്ചു. മരങ്ങൾ കാർബൺ ഡൈ ഓക്സൈഡ് ആഗിരണം ചെയ്യുകയും ഓക്സിജൻ നൽകുകയും ചെയ്യുന്നു, പക്ഷേ അവയുടെ വിളവെടുപ്പ് മുഴുവൻ ചക്രത്തെയും തടസ്സപ്പെടുത്തി. മൊത്തം ഹരിതഗൃഹ വാതക ഉദ്‌വമനത്തിന്റെ 15 ശതമാനവും വനനശീകരണം മൂലമാണെന്ന് കണക്കാക്കപ്പെടുന്നു.

വന്യജീവികളുടെ ആവാസവ്യവസ്ഥയിൽ മനുഷ്യരുടെ കടന്നുകയറ്റം വർദ്ധിക്കുന്നത് ജൈവവൈവിധ്യത്തിന്റെ ദ്രുതഗതിയിലുള്ള നഷ്‌ടത്തിനും ഭക്ഷ്യസുരക്ഷയ്‌ക്കും ജനസംഖ്യാ ആരോഗ്യത്തിനും ലോക സ്ഥിരതയ്‌ക്കും ഭീഷണിയാകുന്നു. കാലാവസ്ഥാ വ്യതിയാനവും ജൈവവൈവിധ്യം നഷ്‌ടപ്പെടുന്നതിൽ പ്രധാന പങ്കുവഹിക്കുന്നു, കാരണം ചില ജീവജാലങ്ങൾക്ക് മാറുന്ന താപനിലയുമായി പൊരുത്തപ്പെടാൻ കഴിയില്ല. വേൾഡ് വൈൽഡ് ലൈഫ് ഫണ്ടിന്റെ ലിവിംഗ് പ്ലാനറ്റ് ഇൻഡക്‌സ് പ്രകാരം കഴിഞ്ഞ 35 വർഷത്തിനിടെ ജൈവവൈവിധ്യം 27 ശതമാനം കുറഞ്ഞു.

ഉപഭോക്താക്കൾ എന്ന നിലയിൽ, പരിസ്ഥിതിക്ക് ദോഷം വരുത്താത്ത ഉൽപ്പന്നങ്ങൾ വാങ്ങുന്നതിലൂടെ ജൈവവൈവിധ്യം സംരക്ഷിക്കാൻ നമുക്കെല്ലാവർക്കും കഴിയും. കൂടാതെ, പോളിത്തീന് പകരം, നിങ്ങൾക്ക് വീട്ടിൽ നിർമ്മിച്ച തുണി സഞ്ചികൾ ഉപയോഗിക്കാം. പരിസ്ഥിതി സംരക്ഷണത്തിനും ഈ ശ്രമം സഹായിക്കും.

The Celebration of Holi

One day prior to Holi, a ritual named ‘Holika Dahan’ is conducted in which a large heap of bonfire is burned in cities and villages. The ‘Holika Dahan’ symbolizes the burning of evil and negative powers and revisits the story of Holika, the evil sister of Hiranyakaskyap who tried to kill his nephew Prahlad by sitting in the bonfire. But by the god’s grace Holika who had a boon of immortality was burned to ashes and Prahlad was saved unharmed. People also make rounds of Holika while chanting devotional mantras and singing bhajans to seek health and prosperity.

During the day, people play by splashing water colors on each other. Children throw water colours by using water cannons or ‘pichkari’ to enjoy the festival. In the evening, people dress up in attractive attire and visit their friends and relatives and hug them by applying ‘gulal’, the dry colors. People also sing folk songs and dance to the tune of famous Holi songs.

It falls in the start of spring season generally in the month of March (or Falgun). Everyone waits for this festival with lots of enthusiasm and with special preparations of celebrating it.

Why do we Celebrate Holi?

There is a great story of Prahlad behind celebrating Holi. Once Prahlad (who was a great devotee of God) was tried to be killed by his own father as he denied worshiping his own father in place of God. His aunt, Holika, sat in the fire by keeping him in her lap on the order of Prahlad’s father but he was saved by God as he was a true devotee and Holika was burnt in the fire even after she was booned to never get harmed by fire. From that day, people following Hinduism started celebrating the festival of Holi every year to remember the triumph of good over evil.

Burning of Holika

A day before colourful Holi festival, people burn a heap of woods and cow dung cakes in the night resembling the burning of Holika to remember that day. Some people follow the special ritual of burning the waste of ‘sarson ubtan’ massage of each family member in the Holika assuming that it will remove all the evils from house and body and bring happiness and positivity to home.

People play with colours with their family members, relatives, friends and neighbours. Kids of the house enjoy this day by throwing colour filled balloons to each other or using pichakari. Everyone hug and apply ‘abeer’ and ‘gulals’ to the forehead showing their love and affection to each other. Special preparations are done for this day like arrangements of sweets, chips, namkeen, dahi bade, pani puri, papadi, etc. Holi is the festival which spreads love and harmony among people.

Holi – The Festival of Colors

Holi is a festival of joy and happiness which spreads colour and pleasure in the life of everyone. People throw water colours or colored powder (gulal) to each other and break all the barriers of discrimination between them. The significance behind celebrating this festival is the great history of Prahlad and his aunt Holika.

History of the Festival

Long ago, there was a devil king, Hiranyakashyap. He was the father of Prahlad and brother of Holika. He was booned by Lord Brahma that he cannot be killed by any man or animal, neither by any weapon, nor inside the home or outside or in the day or night. Getting such power he became very arrogant and ordered everyone including his own son to worship him instead of God.

Because of his fear, people started worshiping him except Prahlad as he was a true devotee of Lord Vishnu. After seeing such type of behaviour of Prahlad, Hiranyakashyap made a plan with sister Holika to kill Prahlad. He ordered his sister to sit in the fire by having Prahlad in her lap. Holika did so, but fortunately she got burnt in the fire and Prahlad was not harmed and even not touched by the fire as he was under the protection and blessings of God.

From then, people started celebrating this event as Holi festival after the name of Holika. This festival is celebrated to remember the victory of goodness over evil power. In the night or evening, a day before Holi, people burn a heap of wood in the nearby areas symbolizing burning of Holika.

Everyone enjoys this festival by singing, dancing, playing colours, hugging each other and eating delicious food. Holi is the festival which brings people closer and spreads love and brotherhood among people. People spend the festival with their friends, family and relatives with great joy and enjoy the special delicacies of the occasion.

Holi is celebrated by the people of Hindu religion all over the country especially in North India in the month of March.

Legend and Story behind the Festival

There are many stories and legends behind celebrating Holi in India for years. It is the festival of great importance and significance. According to the Hindu mythology, it is considered that Holi celebration was started long ago when Holika was burnt in the fire while trying to kill her own nephew in the fire.

It is believed that there was a demon king called Hiranyakashyap, father of little Prahlad who tried to kill his own son in the fire when Prahlad denied to worship him as Prahlad was a great devotee of the Lord Vishnu. When Hiranyakashyap failed in many of his strategies to kill Prahlad, he ordered his own sister, Holika to sit in the fire by taking Prahlad in her lap as she was booned for never getting harmed by fire.

However, this strategy was also failed as little Prahlad was a devotee of Lord Vishnu and he was saved by his God. Holika was burnt in the fire and Prahlad was saved. From that day, people of Hindu religion started celebrating Holi every year.

Holika and its Customs

The day before Holi, people make a heap of woods on the cross roads and burn it symbolizing Holika and celebrate ‘Holika Dahan’ ceremony. People also take many rounds of the burning Holika and worship it to get blessed with prosperity and good health by burning all the sins and diseases in the fire. There is also a custom in north India where people massage the body using mustard paste and then burn it in Holika hoping to get rid of all diseases and evils of the body.

How do we celebrate Holi?

The next morning after ‘Holika Dahan’, people celebrate the colourful festival of Holi by getting together at one place and throwing colors to each other playfully. Holi preparations start a week before the main festival. People, especially children, are highly enthusiastic who start buying different colours a week before the day.

Even they start playing with colours with their friends, neighbours and relatives with ‘pichkari’ and small balloons. The celebration gets started in the morning when people with lots of colors visit their friends and relatives and color them. Holi delicacies comprise of ‘gujhiya’, sweets, ‘pani puri’, ‘dahi bade’, chips etc which are enjoyed by the guests and as well as by the hosts.

Long Essay on Holi Festival – Essay 8 (1500 Words)

Holi is a major Hindu festival celebrated with much fun and enthusiasm throughout India, as well as other countries of the sub continent. The customs and rituals of Holi celebration may vary between different regions of India, but all of them involve joyous playing with colours. It is a much awaited festival for playful adventurers as well as for the foodies, not to mention the children. Celebrated in the Phalgun month, the festival marks the arrival of spring and the end of winter. The celebration usually falls in late February or middle of March as per the Gregorian calendar.

Holi – a festival of Colors, Joy and Love

Holi is different from other Hindu festivals in the way that it doesn’t require veneration of any deity, as is mandatory with other festivals. The festival calls for pure joy, with no religious obligations what so ever.

It’s impossible to imagine Holi celebrations without colours. It is in fact also called- the festival of colours. People play with coloured powders locally called gulal. They spray gulal on friends and family members, greeting each other “Happy Holi” and hugging. Children could be seen playing in groups with various types of water guns (pichkari).

The houses and streets all get coloured with a combination of beautiful and bright red, yellow, blue, orange and violet. With the chilly winds of winter gone, people wear lose clothes and sprinkle each other with colours and coloured water. Everyone is painted in different colours from tip to toe; so much so, that it takes a moment or two to recognize even one’s closest friend.

The Legend of Holika Dahan

Holi is a two day festival, beginning on the evening of full moon day (Purnima) in the Hindu month of Phalgun. The colour Holi is played on second day morning.

The first day of Holi is called Choti (Small) Holi and a ritual of Holika Dahan is followed in the evening. Bonfires are made at street junctions or other suitable places in market, roads, streets, colonies etc. People burn their old belongings in the fire, symbolic to burning their feelings of envy, hatred and animosity. The ritual also signifies the victory of good over evil.

One of the commonly accepted legends of Holika Dahan is associated with the demon king Hiranyakashyap and his son Prahlada. Prahlada was an ardent devotee of Lord Vishnu; this infuriated Hiranyakashyap, who thought of himself as the God, in wake of the immortality boon that was granted to him. However, his son Prahlada was adamant in his resolve to worship Vishnu and rejected worshipping his own father, Hiranyakashyap.

Dejected by his own son, Hiranyakashyap got enraged and started subjecting Prahlada to torture, in order to persuade him to relent. When Prahlada refused regularly, Hiranyakashyap conspired with his sister Holika to trick Prahlada on sitting over a burning pyre with her. Holika supposedly had a boon granting her protection from burning in a fire. The evil plan was to burn Prahlada in the pyre, while Holika will be protected by the boon.

Holika finally succeeded in agreeing Prahlada to sit in the pyre with her. Prahlada agreed as he had extreme faith in his deity Vishnu. Holika got seated in the pyre with child Prahlada in her lap. As soon as the pyre was lit, Lord Vishnu intervened to save Prahlada and Holika was burnt to ashes, despite the boon. The boon granted to Holika didn’t worked, because; the immortality was granted to her only if she entered a fire alone.

Thus, people burn pyre on Choti Holi symbolic to the burning of evil Holika and also to welcome the colourful celebrations the next day.

Lath Mar Holi at Barsana

In the compound of Radha Rani temple at Barsana a small town near Mathura, the custom of Lath Mar Holi is being celebrated since centuries. Men from the nearby Nandgaon, visit Barsana where women would hit them with sticks, traditionally called lathis in Hindi. Men on the other hand, would protect themselves with shields and those who got caught are made to dance wearing women attire.

The Lath Mar Holi of Barsana has become so popular that millions of native Indians as well as foreign tourists visit Barsana to witness the celebrations.

Lose Your Inhibitions and Play with Colours

The festival of Holi has many positive effects on one’s personality as well as social relations. It is a festival to discard your shyness and make new friends. What could be the better way to make new friends than to by play with colours?

The festival helps you to identify the inner joy, which had been lying suppressed inside you. Discard your shyness, hesitation and all the emotions those have been holding you back in daily life. With just a little effort from your side, you will transit to a new world of colour, love and joy.

Spray colour on whoever you can, without any hesitation, thus, you will make new friends and will sure remember the celebrations. All you need to do is to lighten your soul by shedding all your inhibitions.

Time to Forgive and Forget

Holi is a festival of joy. True joy is a matter of soul rather than the body. If we are physically fit, but keep the feeling of hatred or animosity against someone, we cannot be happy in true sense. Whether you have done wrong onto someone or someone has done wrong onto you, in both the cases it’s your inner joy that suffers.

The celebration of Holi provides a marvelous opportunity to turn your enmity into friendship or repair a broken relationship. Shed all your hatred and forgive the sinner, or forget if someone or something has offended you or made you sad. When we shed all the bad feelings and open our arms to the joy and a new world, we will be happier.

The custom of visiting houses of friends and relatives is a major ritual during the Holi season. The custom continues for weeks even after the Holi celebrations. It is the best time to repair broken relationships or to renew the forgotten ones.

Indian Holi Delicacies for the Platter

Holi is undoubtedly the festival of colours, but it is also a festival of delicacies for those with an appetite for sweets and other mouthwatering dishes. There are hundreds of literally mouth watering dishes prepared during Holi, in various corners of India. Every region and culture of India has its own signature Holi delicacy.

The air is filled with a mix of sweet aroma and the essence of numerous fried delicacies those are prepared in abundance in every household. Gujhiya, a sweet delicacy popular in north India, prepared by deep frying dough pockets filled with khoya (a kind of milk food) and nuts, is one of my favourites. Dahi Vada is another Holi delicacy which has its roots in northern India.

In the state of Maharashtra, Puran Poli is prepared during the Holi festival. It is also Maharashtra’s festival favorite and is prepared in almost all the festivals. It is basically a flat dough chapati filled with sweet chana dal.

This Holi ‘Say no to Synthetic Colours’

Holi being a festival of colours, lots of temporary shops could be seen selling rather cheep colours. The colours available in form of powder often constitute toxic metals like copper, mercury, aluminum and lead. They may also contain harmful dyes and paints, not suitable for use by humans.

Use of cheap synthetic colours, results in a number of ailments, ranging from a mild skin rash to as serious as cancer. Cases of skin lesions, burning sensation and eye irritation are reported during the Holi festival, possibly due to the toxic compounds in the colours. Synthetic colours are often prepared with a base of corn starch or flour, whose contamination makes the situation worst.

Fortunately, people are getting more aware about the harmful effects of synthetic colours. A custom of using naturally derived colours is developing and is being practiced widely. By switching to colours derived from natural resources, we not only save our health but the health of environment as well. Natural colours when enter soil or water resources do not pollute them like the synthetic colours do.

Natural colours are derived from natural harmless minerals like gulal, mehndi, turmeric etc. Flowers are also used to produce colours, like red colour is produced from roses; yellow colour is produced from sunflower. Besides, many natural colour dyes can be produced from plants and flowers.

Holi is a festival of colour, celebrated with fun and joy. Get ready to drench in water and colour, but also be careful to not to harm yourself and others. Open your mind, shed your inhibitions, make new friends, pacify the unhappy ones and repair broken relationships. Be playful but also be sensitive to others. Don’t trouble anyone unnecessarily and always keep your conduct composed. Last but not the least; take a resolve to play only with natural colours this Holi.

ആശയവിനിമയത്തിനപ്പുറം സമൂഹത്തിന്റെ തനിമയും സ്വത്വബോധവും പ്രതിഫലിക്കുന്ന സംസ്കാരം കൂടിയാണ് ഭാഷ. ഓരോ ഭാഷയുടെയും സംരക്ഷണം ലക്ഷ്യമിട്ടാണ് 2000 മുതൽ ലോക മാതൃഭാഷാ ദിനാചരണം നടത്തുന്നത്. 1999 നവംബറിലായിരുന്നു ഇതു സംബന്ധിച്ച യുനെസ്കോ പ്രഖ്യാപനം. ഭാഷാടിസ്ഥാനത്തിൽ രൂപീകൃതമായ ബംഗ്ലദേശിന്റെ താൽപര്യപ്രകാരം ഫെബ്രുവരി 21 ദിനാചരണത്തിനു തിരഞ്ഞെടുത്തു. ‘അതിർത്തികളില്ലാതെ ഭാഷകൾ’ എന്നതാണ് ഈ വർഷത്തെ പ്രമേയം.

മനുഷ്യനു പെറ്റമ്മയെപ്പോലെ തന്നെയാണ് സ്വന്തം ഭാഷയും. മുലപ്പാലിനൊപ്പം ശരീരത്തിൽ അലിയുന്ന ജീവന്റെ തുടിപ്പ്. ഈ മാതൃഭാഷാ ദിനത്തിൽ വായിക്കാം, വ്യത്യസ്ത അക്ഷരാനുഭവങ്ങൾ...

ലോകത്തിന്റെ അതിരോളം പടരുന്ന മലയാളം: ബെന്യാമിൻ

(ലോകത്തിന്റെ വിവിധ കോണുകളിലിരുന്ന് മലയാളി തന്റെ മാതൃഭാഷയെ കാണുന്നത്.... )

കംപ്യൂട്ടറിന്റെ വരവ് മലയാളഭാഷയുടെ അന്ത്യം കുറിക്കും എന്നു കരുതിയിരുന്ന കാലമുണ്ടായിരുന്നു. എന്നാൽ, ആ യന്ത്രത്തെ വളരെ വേഗം വരുതിയിലാക്കാൻ കഴിഞ്ഞു എന്നിടത്താണ് മലയാള ഭാഷ അതിന്റെ ഉയർത്തെഴുന്നേൽപു സ്വയം പ്രഖ്യാപിക്കുന്നത്. അതിനു നാം പ്രവാ‍സികളായ ഒരുകൂട്ടം ചെറുപ്പക്കാരോടു നന്ദി പറയണം. ഈ സാങ്കേതിക മുന്നേറ്റത്തിനു മുന്നിൽ ഭാഷാസ്ഥാപനങ്ങൾ ഒന്നടങ്കം പകച്ചുനിന്നപ്പോൾ, ലോകത്തിന്റെ വിവിധ കോണുകളിൽ ഇരുന്ന് സാങ്കേതിക വിദഗ്ധരായ ഈ ചെറുപ്പക്കാരാണ് ഭാഷയെ കംപ്യൂട്ടറുമായി കൂട്ടിക്കെട്ടിയത്. തുടർന്ന് ഇന്റർനെറ്റ്, ബ്ലോഗുകൾ, സമൂഹമാധ്യമങ്ങൾ എന്നിവയുടെ കടന്നുവരവ് ഭാഷയുടെ വ്യാപനം ത്വരിതഗതിയിലാക്കി. മലയാളഭാഷ മരിക്കാൻ പോകുന്നു എന്ന് ഉടനെയൊന്നും ആരും വിലപിക്കാനിടയില്ല.

എന്നാൽ, ഇന്നു കേരളത്തിലിരുന്നു വായിക്കുന്നതിനെക്കാൾ വേഗത്തിൽ ലോകത്തിന്റെ ഏതു കോണിലിരുന്നും വായിക്കാൻ കഴിയും. അതോടെ, പ്രവാസി മലയാളിയുടെ ഭാഷയോടുണ്ടായിരുന്ന മനോഭാവം തന്നെ മാറിപ്പോയി. എൺപതുകളിലും തൊണ്ണൂറുകളിലും അത് അകലെ നിൽക്കുന്ന ഗൃഹാതുരത്വം മാത്രമായിരുന്നുവെങ്കിൽ, രണ്ടായിരത്തിനു ശേഷം അത് അവരുടെ നിത്യജീവിതത്തിന്റെ ഭാഗമായി. ഗൾഫ് മലയാളികളുടെ കാര്യത്തിലാവട്ടെ, തിരികെ വന്നു പാർക്കേണ്ട ഇട‌ത്തെ ഭാഷ എന്ന നിലയിൽ അതിനെ കുറെക്കൂടി ഗൗരവമായി കൈകാര്യം ചെയ്യാനുള്ള ശ്രമമുണ്ട്.

കുട്ടികൾക്കു മലയാളം അറിയില്ല എന്നു പറയുന്നത് അഭിമാനമാ‍യി കരുതിയിരുന്ന പ്രവാസി മനുഷ്യരെ ഒരുകാലത്തു വ്യാപകമായി കാണാൻ കഴിയുമായിരുന്നു. എന്നാൽ, പുതുതലമുറയെ മലയാളം പരിശീലിപ്പിക്കാൻ ആത്മാർഥമായി ശ്രമിക്കുന്ന മലയാളികളെയാണ് ഇന്നു ലോകത്തിന്റെ ഏതു കോണിൽ ചെന്നാലും കാണാനാവുക. പുതിയ കാലത്ത് ലോകത്തെമ്പാടും അസ്തിത്വപ്രശ്നം വ്യാപകമായി ചർച്ച ചെയ്യപ്പെടുമ്പോൾ, നാം ലോകത്തിൽ എവിടെ എത്തിപ്പെട്ടാലും നമ്മുടെ വേരുകൾ കേരളത്തിൽത്തന്നെയാണ് എന്നു പറഞ്ഞുറപ്പിക്കുന്നതിന്റെ ഭാഗമാണത്.

അതിലൂടെ കേരളത്തിന്റെ ജീവിതത്തെയും സംസ്കാരത്തെയും ഇതര ഭാഷകളിൽ അടയാളപ്പെടുത്താൻ പ്രാപ്‌തരായ രണ്ടാം തലമുറ എഴുത്തുകാരുടെ നിര ഉയർന്നുവന്നു എന്നതാണ് ഏറ്റവും സന്തോഷകരമായ കാര്യം.

ഭാഷകൊണ്ടു ജീവിക്കുന്ന വളരെ കുറച്ചുപേർ മാത്രം ഗൗരവമായി പരിഗണിച്ചിരുന്ന ഒരു ഭാഷ എല്ലാവരുടേതുമായി മാറി എന്നത് ആശാവഹമായ കാര്യമാണ്.

ഉയരെ, എന്റെ മാതൃഭാഷ: അനീസ് സലിം

(ഇംഗ്ലിഷിലെ ബെസ്റ്റ് സെല്ലർ നോവലുകളുടെ രചയിതാവായ മലയാളി, മാതൃഭാഷയെക്കുറിച്ച് )

പത്താം ക്ലാസ് വരെ വർക്കലയിൽ വീടിനു സമീപത്തുള്ള മലയാളം മീഡിയം സ്കൂളിലായിരുന്നു പഠനം. ഇംഗ്ലിഷ് വഴങ്ങാത്തതിലുള്ള അപകർഷതാബോധം ചെറുപ്പത്തിൽത്തന്നെ രൂപപ്പെട്ടിരുന്നു. ഇംഗ്ലിഷിൽ സംസാരിക്കണമെന്നും എഴുതണമെന്നുമുള്ള ആഗ്രഹം രൂപപ്പെട്ടപ്പോഴും അതിനു കഴിയുമെന്നു സ്വപ്നം കാണാൻ പോലും അന്നു ശേഷിയുണ്ടായിരുന്നില്ല.

പ്രവാസിയും സാഹിത്യതൽപരനുമായിരുന്ന പിതാവ് എം.സലിം വാങ്ങിക്കൂട്ടിയ പുസ്തകങ്ങളിൽനിന്ന് മലയാളത്തെക്കാൾ കൂടുതൽ ഇംഗ്ലിഷ് തിരഞ്ഞെടുത്തു വായിച്ചതും ഈ അപകർഷതാ ബോധത്തെ നേരിടാനായിരുന്നു.

ഒരു ടേം പരീക്ഷയിൽ മലയാളം പേപ്പറിൽ യാത്രയെക്കുറിച്ച് ഒരു കുറിപ്പ് എഴുതിയതിന് അധ്യാപകൻ പരസ്യമായി അഭിനന്ദിച്ചു. അതാണ് മലയാളമെഴുത്തിന് ആദ്യം ലഭിച്ച അംഗീകാരം. പക്ഷേ, ഇംഗ്ലിഷ് പുസ്തകങ്ങൾ വായിച്ചുള്ള ശീലം പിന്നീട് എഴുത്തിനെയും ഇംഗ്ലിഷിലേക്കു വഴിതിരിച്ചു വിടുകയായിരുന്നു. പഠനം ഇംഗ്ലിഷ് മീഡിയം സ്കൂളിലായിരുന്നെങ്കിൽ ഒരുപക്ഷേ, എന്റെ എഴുത്ത് മലയാളത്തിലായേനെ എന്ന് ഇപ്പോൾ തോന്നുന്നു.

വലിയ സാധ്യതകളില്ലാത്ത ചെറിയ ഭാഷയാണു മലയാളം എന്ന തെറ്റിദ്ധാരണ അക്കാലത്തു രൂപപ്പെട്ടിരുന്നു. പിൽക്കാലത്ത് വയലാറിന്റെയും ഒഎൻവിയുടെയും ശ്രീകുമാരൻ തമ്പിയുടെയും കവിതകളിലൂടെയും ഗാനങ്ങളിലൂടെയുമാണ് മലയാളത്തിന്റെ ഭംഗിയും മഹത്വവും തിരിച്ചറിയുന്നത്. ഇത്ര ഭംഗിയായും ലളിതമായും എങ്ങനെ എഴുതാനാവുന്നു എന്നു ചിന്തിച്ചിട്ടുണ്ട്.

ഇപ്പോൾ എഴുത്തിനായുള്ള ചിന്തകൾ പോലും ഇംഗ്ല‌ിഷിലാണ്. ഫെയ്സ്ബുക്കിലെ ചെറു കുറിപ്പുകളിലൊതുങ്ങുന്നു മലയാളമെഴുത്ത്. അതിനപ്പുറം മലയാളത്തിൽ സാഹിത്യം എഴുതാനുള്ള ആത്മവിശ്വാസമില്ലെന്നതാണു സത്യം. മാതൃഭാഷയും അതിലെ സാഹിത്യവും അത്രമേൽ ഉയരത്തിലാണെന്ന തിരിച്ചറിവു തന്നെ കാരണം.

എന്തുട്ടണ് ഗ‍ഡി എന്തുട്ടണ്: വയലാർ ശരത്ചന്ദ്ര വർമ

(മലയാളഭാഷയുടെ വ്യത്യസ്ത സംസാരശൈലികൾ സിനിമാഗാനങ്ങളിൽ പ്രതിഫലിച്ചതെങ്ങനെ ? )

മാതൃഭാഷാ ദിനത്തിൽ മലയാള ചലച്ചിത്ര ഗാനരചയിതാക്കളുടെ പ്രതിനിധിയായി ആദ്യമെന്റെ മാതൃവന്ദനം.

ഭാഷ ഏറ്റവും ലളിതമാകുന്നത് അമ്മയുടെ വാത്സല്യത്തിലെ, കൊഞ്ചലിലെ വെള്ളം ചേരാത്ത അമ്മിഞ്ഞപ്പാൽ തുള്ളികളുടെ മഴക്കിലുക്കത്തിലൂടെയാണ്. എല്ലാ വിഭാഗങ്ങൾക്കുമറിയാവുന്ന ആ ഭാഷ, ബാലരമ മുതൽ ഭാഷാപോഷിണി വരെയുള്ള ശൈലിയുമായി ഒന്നിച്ചു ചേരുന്നത് സിനിമ എന്ന വലിയ മാധ്യമത്തിലൂടെയാണ്. സാഹിത്യത്തിന്റെ മറ്റെല്ലാ ചാലുകളിലൂടെയും അതു പരന്നൊഴുകുമ്പോഴും ‘കേരളം കേരളം’ എന്ന ഗാനം കേൾക്കുമ്പോൾ വേറിട്ടൊരു കുളിരുണ്ടല്ലോ.

82 വർഷത്തെ ഗാനചരിത്രത്തിൽ മലയാളം അക്ഷരങ്ങളായും സ്വരങ്ങളായും നാദങ്ങളായും സമ്മേളിച്ച് കേരളത്തിന്റെ സൗന്ദര്യ വിചാര വികാരങ്ങളെ ധാരാളം സുഖമണിയിച്ചിട്ടുണ്ട്. മാമലകൾക്കപ്പുറത്ത്, നാളികേരളത്തിന്റെ നാട്ടിൽ, മലയാള ഭാഷതൻ, കേശഭാരം, ആലപ്പുഴ പട്ടണത്തിൽ തുടങ്ങിയവ അവയിൽ ചിലത്.

കോഴിക്കോടൻ ചോറും കയിലി മുണ്ടും അയല വറുത്തതുമൊക്കെ രുചിമുകുളങ്ങളെ പാട്ടായി തലോടി ത്രസിപ്പിച്ചിട്ടുണ്ട്. എന്നാൽ, പാട്ടുകളെ തെക്കനെന്നും കിഴക്കനെന്നും പടിഞ്ഞാറനെന്നുമൊക്കെ വേർതിരിച്ചെടുക്കാൻ തമിഴിന്റെ കലർപ്പും മലകളും കാടുകളും കടലും കൊണ്ടേ കഴിയൂ.

ഓലത്തുമ്പത്തിരുന്ന്... പാടെടീ (തമിഴ് കലർന്ന തെക്കൻ), കിഴക്കേ മലയിലെ, മൂന്നാറിലെ മൂവന്തി (കിഴക്കൻ), കടലിലെ ഓളം, കാതിൽ തേന്മഴയായ്, വികാരനൗക (പടിഞ്ഞാറൻ). വടക്കൻ പാട്ടുകൾ ഭക്തിയിലും ഭൂമിയിലും പ്രണയത്തിലുമൊക്കെ തനതായ ഇടം വെള്ളിത്തിരയിൽ നേടിയിട്ടുണ്ട്. അതു പ്രണയത്തിൽ മനോഹരമായി ചേർത്തത് യൂസഫലി കേച്ചേരിയാണെന്ന് പെട്ടെന്നു പറയാം. അനുരാഗക്കളരിയിൽ അങ്കത്തിനു വന്നവളേ... എന്ന വരികളിൽ അങ്കവും കളരിയും ചേകവനും ഉറുമിയും പരിചയും വാളും വീരാംഗനയുമായി വിളിക്കുകയാണ് കരുത്തിന്റെ വടക്കൻ മുറ. ആദ്യകിരണങ്ങൾ (1964) എന്ന ചിത്രത്തിനായി ഭാസ്കരൻ മാഷ് കേരളത്തിലൂടെ ഒരു ബസ് യാത്ര നടത്തുന്നു, കണ്ണൂർ...ധർമടം എന്ന ഗാനത്തിലൂടെ.

തൃശൂർക്കാർക്ക് സ്വന്തമായി ചലച്ചിത്രഗാനശാഖ ഒരു പാട്ടു സമ്മാനിച്ചിട്ടുണ്ട്. ചിത്രം: ആനന്ദം പരമാനന്ദം,

രചന: ശ്രീകുമാരൻ തമ്പി, സംഗീതം: ജി. ദേവരാജൻ, ആലാപനം: യേശുദാസ്, മാധുരി.

ഗാനശാഖയെപ്പറ്റി ഇങ്ങനെ ഒരുപാടു പറയാനുണ്ടെങ്കിലും സാഹിത്യ മലയാളത്തിൽ സിനിമാ ഗാനങ്ങൾക്കും രചയിതാക്കൾക്കും പണ്ഡിതസദസ്സിൽ ഇടം നൽകാറില്ല എന്നതു വേദന തന്നെയാണ്. ചലച്ചിത്രഗാനങ്ങൾ ചർച്ച ചെയ്യപ്പെടുകയെങ്കിലും വേണം.

അതിജീവനത്തിന്റെ ആദിഭാഷ: കെ.ജെ.ബേബി

(കാലത്തിന്റെ വെല്ലുവിളികളെ നേരിട്ട് ഗോത്രഭാഷ നിലനിൽക്കുന്നത് എങ്ങനെ? )

സ്വന്തം ഭാഷയും സാംസ്കാരികത്തനിമയുമുള്ള ജനവിഭാഗമാണ് ആദിവാസികൾ. പണിയർ, നായ്ക്കർ, കുറുമർ, അടിയർ, കുറിച്യർ തുടങ്ങി വയനാട്ടിലെ എല്ലാ ആദിവാസിഗോത്രങ്ങൾക്കും തനതുഭാഷയുണ്ട്. മലയാളമല്ല ആദിവാസികളുടെ മാതൃഭാഷ. വ്യത്യസ്തവും തനതു വ്യക്തിത്വമുള്ളതുമായ ഭാഷകളാണ് അവർക്കുള്ളത്. പണിയ - അടിയ ഭാഷകൾക്കു തമിഴുമായി സാമ്യമുണ്ട്. നായ്ക്കരുടെ ഭാഷയ്ക്കു പഴയ കന്നഡയുമായാണു പൊരുത്തം.

ലിപിയില്ല എന്നതുമാത്രമാണ് ഗോത്രഭാഷകൾക്കുള്ള പോരായ്മ. അടിയരുടെ ഭാഷയ്ക്കു ലിപിയുണ്ടായിരുന്നെന്നു ചില ചരിത്രസൂചനകളുണ്ട്. അടിയ ഭാഷയിൽ ഓലസന്ദേശങ്ങൾ തയാറാക്കിയിരുന്നതായി പറയുന്നു. എല്ലാം കളവുപോയതു പോലെ അക്ഷരങ്ങളും തങ്ങളിൽനിന്നു കളവുപോയെന്ന് അവർ പറയും. എങ്കിലും വാമൊഴിയായി മാത്രം പ്രചരിച്ച മാതൃഭാഷ ഇന്നും തനിമ ചോരാതെ നിലനിർത്താൻ ആദിവാസി ജനതയ്ക്കു കഴിയുന്നു.നടവയലിലെ ഊരാളി കുറുമരുടെ വീട്ടിലെത്തിയാൽ കൊച്ചുകുട്ടി പോലും മാതൃഭാഷയിൽ സംസാരിക്കുന്നതു കാണാം. മറ്റു ഭാഷകളുടെ അതിപ്രസരത്തിലും, തങ്ങളുടെ മാതൃഭാഷയിൽ മാത്രം സംസാരിക്കുമ്പോൾ അവർക്കു ലഭിക്കുന്ന ആത്മവിശ്വാസം വളരെ വലുതാണ്.

ആചാരാനുഷ്ഠാനങ്ങൾ പലതും നിലച്ചതാണ് ഗോത്രഭാഷകൾ നേരിടുന്ന പ്രധാന വെല്ലുവിളി. എങ്കിലും അതൊക്കെ അതിജീവിക്കാനുള്ള ശ്രമങ്ങൾ ആദിവാസി സമൂഹത്തിൽനിന്നുതന്നെ ഉണ്ടാകുന്നുണ്ട്. പൊതുവിദ്യാലയങ്ങളിൽ മാതൃഭാഷയിൽത്തന്നെയുള്ള അധ്യയനം ആദിവാസി പാരമ്പര്യം നിലനിർത്താൻ സഹായകരമാണ്.

പണിയ സമുദായാംഗമായ വാസുദേവന്റെ ‘മെലിആട്ടു’ എന്ന നോവൽ ഈയിടെയാണു പുറത്തിറങ്ങിയത്. പണിയ, കുറുമ ഭാഷകളിലാണു രചന. പാട്ടുകൾക്കും കഥകൾക്കുമൊപ്പം തനതു വാദ്യോപകരണങ്ങൾ കൂടി ചേരുമ്പോൾ ഗോത്രഭാഷയിലെ ആശയവിനിമയം ഏറെ സൗന്ദര്യമുള്ളതാകുന്നു. പ്രതിസന്ധികളെ മറികടന്ന് ഇന്നും സജീവമായി നിലനിൽക്കാൻ ഗോത്രഭാഷകൾക്കു കരുത്തേകുന്നത് അതിലടങ്ങിയിരിക്കുന്ന ഈ വൈജാത്യങ്ങൾ തന്നെയാണ്.

ഭാഷയുടെ ‘തിര’നോട്ടം: ബിപിൻ ചന്ദ്രൻ

(സിനിമയിലെ ഭാഷാപ്രയോഗം മലയാളിയുടെ ജീവിതത്തിലേക്ക് ഇറങ്ങിയ വിധം )

നാടകമെഴുത്തുകാരൊക്കെത്തന്നെ തിരക്കഥാകൃത്തുക്കളായിത്തീർന്ന ആദ്യകാല സിനിമകളിലെ വർത്തമാനങ്ങളിൽ കുറച്ച് അതിഭാവുകത്വം കാണാം. സത്യൻ– നസീർ– മധു യുഗവും സോമൻ–സുകുമാരൻ കാലവുമൊക്കെ കഴിഞ്ഞാണു നെടുങ്കൻ വരികളും പഞ്ച് പറച്ചിലുമൊക്കെ വന്നത്. ആദ്യകാല സിനിമകളിലെ കഥാപാത്രങ്ങളൊക്കെത്തന്നെ ദേശകാല ഭേദമെന്യേ നിരപ്പൊത്തൊരു ചതുരവടിവിൽ സംസാരിക്കുന്നവരായിരുന്നു. ഉദയായുടെ വടക്കൻപാട്ട് കഥകളിലെല്ലാം മലബാർ മണമേയില്ലാത്ത ശാരംഗപാണി ഭാഷ കേൾക്കാം.

ബാലനിൽ ആലപ്പി വിൻസന്റ് നടത്തിയ ‘ഗുഡ് ലക്ക് ടു എവ്‌രിബഡി’ എന്ന മറുനാടൻ ആശംസയിലൂടെയാണ് മലയാള സിനിമയുടെ പേച്ച്തുറവി. ഇംഗ്ലിഷ് സാന്നിധ്യം ഏറിയും കുറഞ്ഞുമൊക്കെ തുടർന്നു. കം കം വരൂ വരൂ, സിറ്റ് സിറ്റ് ഇരിക്കൂ ഇരിക്കൂ എന്ന് ഗമയുള്ള ഗൗണും ധരിച്ച് പുകയുന്ന പൈപ്പും കടിച്ചു മുതലാളി കഥാപാത്രങ്ങൾ സിനിമയിലെ തർജമക്കാരായിരുന്നു. മലയാളത്തിനെന്തോ കുറച്ചിലുണ്ടെന്ന തോന്നൽ അന്നു ശക്തമായിരുന്നതു കാരണമാകാം, ഞങ്ങൾ പിച്ചക്കാരല്ലെടാ എന്നതിനു പകരം ‘വീ ആർ നോട്ട് ബെഗേഴ്സ്’ എന്ന് ‘അങ്ങാടി’യിൽ ജയനു രോഷം കൊള്ളേണ്ടിവന്നത്.

ഇംഗ്ലിഷിനു മുന്നിൽ സ്ഥിരം കവാത്തു മറക്കുമ്പോൾത്തന്നെ ജയകൃഷ്ണനിലൂടെയും അച്ചൂട്ടിയിലൂടെയും അരിപ്രാഞ്ചിയിലൂടെയും രാജമാണിക്യത്തിലൂടെയും കാട്ടാളൻ പൊറിഞ്ചുവിലൂടെയുമൊക്കെ പ്രാദേശിക മലയാളം പൂത്തുമലരുന്നതും നാം കണ്ടു. മമ്മൂട്ടി എന്ന ശബ്ദബലിയുടെ സംഭാവനകൾ എടുത്തു പറയേണ്ടതുണ്ടിവിടെ. മറുഭാഷാ പദങ്ങളെ ഒരു വികസ്വര ഭാഷയ്ക്കും ഒഴിവാക്കാൻ കഴിയില്ല. മണിച്ചിത്രത്താഴിൽ മിണ്ടാട്ടം മുട്ടിയ ഇന്നസന്റ് കാലൻകുട കൊണ്ട് ‘കക്കൂസിൽ പോണമെടാ’ എന്നു മണ്ണിലെഴുതുമ്പോൾ സത്യത്തിലാ വാക്ക് ഹോളണ്ടിൽനിന്നു കപ്പലേറി വന്നതാണെന്ന് എത്രപേർ അറിയുന്നു.

മലയാളം രസാ...

(ഇതര സംസ്ഥാനക്കാർക്കായി സാക്ഷരതാ മിഷൻ നടത്തിയ ‘ചങ്ങാതി’ പരീക്ഷയിൽ നൂറിൽ നൂറ് നേടിയ ബിഹാർ സ്വദേശിനി റോമിയ കാത്തൂൻ)

‘‘മലയാളം എന്തു രസാ... കേൾക്കാനും പറയാനും. എനിക്ക് എന്റെ സ്വന്തം ഭാഷ പോലെ തന്നെ...’’ പറയുന്നതു ബിഹാർ സ്വദേശിനി റോമിയ കാത്തൂൻ (26). ഇതരസംസ്ഥാനക്കാർക്കായി കേരള സംസ്ഥാന സാക്ഷരതാ മിഷൻ നടത്തിയ ‘ചങ്ങാതി’ പരീക്ഷയിൽ നൂറിൽ നൂറ് മാർക്കും നേടിയ മിടുക്കി. ഭർത്താവ് സെയ്ഫുല്ലയ്ക്കൊപ്പം 8 വർഷം മുൻപാണു റോമിയ കൊല്ലത്തെത്തിയത്. മക്കളെ സ്കൂളിൽ വിടാൻ തുടങ്ങിയപ്പോഴാണു പ്രശ്നം. സ്കൂളിൽനിന്നു ഡയറിയിൽ എഴുതിക്കൊടുക്കുന്ന കാര്യങ്ങൾ റോമിയയ്ക്കു മനസ്സിലായില്ല. അയൽക്കാരോടൊക്കെ ചോദിച്ച് മലയാളം പഠിച്ചു തുടങ്ങി.

‘‘മലയാളത്തിൽ നന്നായി സംസാരിക്കാൻ പഠിച്ചു. അക്ഷരങ്ങളും ഒരുവിധം പഠിച്ചെടുത്തു. എന്നാലും സ,ഷ,ഹ,ഞ്ഞ,ങ്ങ,ക്ഷ എന്നിവയൊന്നും ഇപ്പോഴും കൈയ്ക്കു വഴങ്ങിയിട്ടില്ല’’.

യുകെജി വിദ്യാർഥി ഉമറുൽ ഫാറൂഖ്, എൽകെജി വിദ്യാർഥി മുഹമ്മദ് തൗഫീഖ്, 4 മാസം പ്രായമായ തമന്ന എന്നിവരാണു മക്കൾ. പണ്ടു ബിഹാറി ഭാഷ മാത്രം ഉയർന്നിരുന്ന ഉമയനല്ലൂരിലെ വാടകവീട്ടിൽ ഇപ്പോൾ മലയാളമൊഴികളാണ് അധികവും. ‘‘ഭർത്താവും മലയാളം പറയും. അതു ചോറിനൊപ്പം അവിയലും ചമ്മന്തിയും വിളമ്പുന്നതു പോലെ ഇത്തിരി മാത്രം’’– റോമിയ ചിരിയോടെ പറയുന്നു.

എലിക്കുട്ടിയുടെ തെളിമലയാളം

(എലിക്കുട്ടി എന്നറിയപ്പെടുന്ന അമേരിക്കക്കാരി എലിസബത്ത് കെയ്റ്റണിന്റെ മലയാളം പഠന വിഡിയോകൾ സൂപ്പർഹിറ്റാണ്. കേരളത്തിന്റെ മരുമകൾ കൂടിയായ എലിസബത്തിന് മലയാളം ഇത്ര ലളിതമായതെങ്ങനെ? )

എന്റെ നല്ലപാതിയായ അർജുനെ കണ്ടുമുട്ടിയപ്പോഴാണു മലയാളത്തെ അടുത്തറിഞ്ഞത്. കൂട്ടുകാരി അർച്ചനയാണ് എലിക്കുട്ടിയെന്ന പേരു തന്നത്. മലയാളം പഠിക്കുന്നതിനിടെ ഒരിക്കൽ എലിയുടെ അർഥം ഞാൻ കണ്ടെത്തി. എലിയെന്ന് വിളിക്കാൻ എങ്ങനെ തോന്നിയെന്നു ചോദിച്ചപ്പോൾ അവളാണ് കുട്ടിയെന്ന ‘ക്യൂട്ട്’ വാക്കുകൂടി ചേർത്തത്. ഇൻസ്റ്റഗ്രാമിൽ പലരും ‘എലിക്കുട്ടിയല്ല, ഏലിക്കുട്ടി’യാണെന്നു തിരുത്താറുണ്ട്. പക്ഷേ, ഞാൻ എലിക്കുട്ടി തന്നെ.

മലയാളം പഠിക്കൽ എളുപ്പമായിരുന്നില്ല. വാക്കുകളുടെ അവസാനമുള്ള ധാരാളം കൂട്ടിച്ചേർക്കലുകളായിരുന്നു വെല്ലുവിളി. ‘ചെയ്തു, ചെയ്യുക, ചെയ്യില്ല, ചെയ്യില്ലല്ലോ’ എന്നിങ്ങനെ കിടക്കുകയല്ലേ?

പലരും പറയും വിദേശികൾക്കു മലയാളത്തിലെ ‘ള’ ഉച്ചരിക്കാനാവില്ലെന്ന്. വെറുതെയാണ്, ഓരോ അക്ഷരവും ഉച്ചരിക്കുമ്പോൾ നാക്ക് എവിടെ മുട്ടണമെന്നു മനസ്സിലാക്കിയാൽ ഏതു ‘ള’യും വഴങ്ങും. ‘അരിയുക–അറിയുക’, ‘മറക്കുക-മറയ്ക്കുക’ എന്നിങ്ങനെയുള്ള സമാനമായ പ്രയോഗങ്ങളാണ് ഇപ്പോഴും എന്നെ കുഴപ്പിക്കാറുള്ളത്.

Holi is celebrated over three days, with Holi Purnama (full moon day) being the first. Puno’s second day, or Choti Holi. Parva, or Holi Day, is the third day of the festival. People used to wear white dresses and congregate on the ground on this day. For this festival, they use natural colours and play with painting guns. They drink sweet lassi and eat sweets like gunjiya , khoya , mawa , and pistachio-based desserts .

Fun Fact: The festival of Holi is a two-day festival.

India, as a nation with many different languages, ethnicities, traditions, ideologies, cultures, beliefs, religions, etc has a plethora of festivals throughout the year. It is truly land and a unit of diversity. Holi is one of the most well-known festivals in India which is not only celebrated here but also in other countries and is truly inspired and influenced by the culture and beliefs of India. It is, in basic terms, a festival of colours, joy, and happiness. Not only that, the festival remarks the beginning of spring season around us and that’s why people play Holi with colours or gulal, apply Chandan, eat traditional and delicious delicacies that are only made on the occasion of Holi and of course, not to forget the famous drink of thandai. But as we delve deeper into this Holi essay, it appears to have a myriad of meanings and historical, cultural, and traditional significance. Every state in India has its unique ways of playing or celebrating Holi. Also, the meaning for everyone or every community changes behind celebrating this festival of colours and happiness. Let us now delve into some of the few reasons for celebrating Holi in this Holi essay. For some people and communities, Holi is nothing but a pure festival of love and colours as celebrated by Radha and Krishna – a kind of love that has no name, shape, or form. Others see it as a tale about how the good in us still triumphs over the bad. For others, Holi is a time for leisure, frolic, forgiveness, and compassion too. The Holi rituals last three days, beginning with the destruction of evil symbolized by a bonfire on the first day and ending with a festival of colours, prayers, music, dance, food, and blessings on the second and third days. The primary colours that are used in Holi reflect different emotions and components, such as blue is for Lord Krishna, red is for fertility and love, and green is for new beginnings and the environment in which we live.

Holi is one of the primary and many festivals for which India and its people are known around different parts of the world. Eventually, the tale and legend of Holi date back to the time of Hiranyakashyap, the Demon King. He had his sister Holika go into a burning fire with Prahaladha in an attempt to make his son worship him instead of Lord Vishnu. Holika could be resistant to flames and fire. Holika then turned into ashes when she moved ahead into the burning fire with Prahaladha, but Lord Vishnu saved Prahaladha as Holika’s curse would have only worked if she had joined the fire by herself, i.e. alone. Since then, this day is known as Holi in India, and it symbolizes the triumph of good over evil. During this festival, people lit a bonfire to commemorate Holika’s death. People spend their evenings with friends and family sharing treats and greetings after a day of excitement. Holi is said to instil a sense of brotherhood in everyone’s minds, and even rivals are reconciled on this day. The festival day begins with the preparation of a variety of delicacies. People paint each other with gulal, watercolours, and water balloons. The best thing about this day is that everybody decides to let go of his shyness and join in on the fun. They give each other hugs and wish each other a ‘Happy Holi.’ Many housing societies host Holi celebrations on their lawns. Bright and beautiful colours such as yellow, green, red, pink, grey, and violet are used to cover the entire lawn. It’s difficult to tell who is who because everybody is dressed in different colours. Holi is a Hindu festival of love and happiness celebrated in the month of Phalgun, which corresponds to March in the Gregorian calendar or sometime in the last week of February, with Hindus all around the world embracing a new life of fullness, prosperity, hope and love and a life together. It also corresponds to the wheat harvest and represents wealth and happiness. The spring season marks the end of winter and the beginning of summer; as a result, the spring climate is particularly pleasant, especially when the flowers are abundant. As a result, Holi is observed as a festival of colours to honour nature’s spring beauty and a prosperous harvest. Having said that, one should also realize that Holi is not just a mere festival for the population living in India. People worldwide, and especially in India, take this festival as an opportunity to release and forget all their sadness, stress, and pain from their lives and start a new beginning altogether. One should also realize that the festival of Holi has a major presence in not only our everyday lives but also in art, media, and music, as numerous songs, movies, and television shows mention Holi in various forms and references. Most people take advantage of this opportunity to erase memories of pain and anguish and replace them with memories of brotherhood, kindness, and joy. It would not be misleading to claim that people of all ages, generations, castes and creeds participate in the festivities in all their diversity. Holi is a festival that is celebrated as a great opportunity to mend all broken relationships. You pay a visit to your loved ones and try to make amends by painting each other in different colours. Finally, in a world filled with toxicity, sorrow, and tension, it is essential to keep the “fun” alive through Holi and maintain the festival for what it represents – love, happiness, and the triumph of good over evil!

Holi is the festival of colours. It is celebrated to symbolize the victory of good over evil and light over darkness. Not only Hindus but also people from other religions celebrate Holi with great enthusiasm. There are many legends associated with this festival which make it even more interesting and significant. The most popular legend says that King Hiranyakaship argued with his son Prahlad because the latter insisted on worshipping Lord Vishnu . The king got annoyed by this and decided to kill his son.

Hiranyakashyap asked his nephews to throw Prahlad into the fire as he was a threat to his kingdom. His nephews were loyal to him, so they threw Prahlad into the fire after tying him to a piece of wood. However, Holika , Hiranyakashyap’s sister, saved him by sitting on the burning pyre with him.

An Introduction of Holi

Holi is the festival of colours which is celebrated not only in India but all across the world. It is also a festival of unity as it brings people together to celebrate a festival regardless of caste, ethnicity or religion. Holi is celebrated for two days in India on the full moon day in March. People celebrate “Holika Dahan” on the first day by gathering around and burning piles of wood and cow dung, and singing bhajans related to Holi.

Then on the next day, people of all ages gather together to play with colours called “gulal” and coloured water called “Dulahandi”. People feast together and eat special sweets made for the day called “gujiya” and serve “thandaai” or cold drinks and “bhaang”. But Holi should be played carefully. The gulal used should be prepared organically as chemical gulal may cause irritation to the skin and wherever it comes in contact.

In some places in India, Holi is celebrated for five days as well. Holi is a national Holiday and all educational institutions and offices are closed on this day. Also Check: Holi 2024 Festival Celebration - Date, History, and Significance

Holi As a Celebration of the Victory of Good Over Evil

There is a mythological story associated with the celebration of Holi. It is said that a cruel king named Hiranyakashipu was blessed by Brahma that no human or animal could kill him on the ground at home or outside. But he was a torturous king and wanted everyone in his kingdom to worst him as a god, and so he ordered the execution of his only son Prahlad by his sister Holika by inciting fire because he was a faithful devotee of Lord Vishnu and Holika was blessed that she wouldn't be touched by fire.

It is said that it so happened that on the day of this heinous act, Holika sat on a pile of burning woods with Prahlad on her lap but instead of Prahlad getting burnt, he was saved by Lord Vishnu and Holika turned into ashes. Then Lord Vishnu turned himself into half-animal, half deity form and killed Hiranyakashipu by tearing his stomach apart. Hence, the celebration of Holi has been a mark of triumph of Good over Evil.

This is also a reason for the burning of woods on Choti Holi is called “Holika Dahan”.
