Qist. Awwal Sri Lanka ek kasheed al-mazhabi muashra hai jahan budh, musalman, hindu aur esai mil kar rehte hain aur khush dili se ek doosre ko qabool karte hain. Sab se barh kar yeh ek aisi sar zameen hai jo kayi rawayat ke mutabiq Aadam alaihissalam ka mubtala ya jaye nuzool hai jab woh jannat mein apne qayam se mehroom kiye gaye thay. Lafz Lanka ke ma'ani jazeera ke hain. Sri ghaleban share hai jismein izzat aur tauqeer ka mafhoom hai. Sri Lanka 1948 mein angrezon se azad hua tha. 1972 mein democratic socialist republic qarar pane par Ceylon kaaniya qoumi naam Sri Lanka qarar paya. Chonkeh yeh naam asal bashindon ki khwahishat ka aaina daar tha is liye bohat jald maqbool hogaya. Sarandip Hindustan ki tarah Sri Lanka ek British muqabza ilaqa tha jise angrez apni aasani ke liye Ceylon kehte thay. Asal mein yeh naam Sri Lanka ke arabi naam Sar Andeep (jazeera mulk) ki bigri hui shakl hai. Sinha ka matlab hai sher (lion) aur Sinhal ka matlab hai blood of lion, murad yeh hai lion-like man-hero. Pali zabaan mein sahalam. Chothi sadi ka roman moarrik 'Marsi Lines Sir Andeus' ghaleban guzarne wala pehla saahiq tha. Chhati sadi ke yunani malah 'Kas Mas' ne isay Sielen Diva kaha. Yehi lafz mukhtalif zubanon ke mutaradifat mein dhalta raha. Arabon ne balaakhir isay arabi mein dhal kar Sarandip qarar diya. Yeh tamam naam Ceylon ke ham ma'ani yaani mutaradifat mein se thay. 10vi sadi ke moarikh saahiq Muhammad bin Ahmad al Biruni ne isay Mangal Deep ke naam se pukara aur farsi mein Sarandip. Sinhali yahan ki maqami aur badi abadi hai. Tamil abadi tadad mein kam aur zyada hindu hai aur Hindustan se aakar abad hui hai. Sri Lanka ki maghribi janib jazeera Maldives aur Arab ka rupahira. Mashriqi janib Khaleej Bengal aur jonubi simt mein dunya ka sab se bara samandar bahr Hind. Jab dunya tashkil pa rahi hogi Sri Lanka Hindustan ka hissa raha hoga jo jughrafiyai tabdiliyon ke zair asar kat kar alahida hesiyat ikhtiyar kar gaya. Sri Lanka ka intehai shumali ilaqa janubi Hindustan ke nazdeek waqe hai. Is ilaqe mein hindu mat, telngam zaban aur hindi tehzeeb ke asarat numaya hain. Yehi ilaqa alaahida pasand tamil ka gurd raha hai. Hindu mythology (Devi Mahatmya) ke hawale se Lanka, Ramayan ki hikayat mein bohat ahmiyat ka hamil hai. Lanka pohanchne, use fatah karne aur wahan se Sita ji ko baaziyab karne ke liye Rama sahib ko bohat mehnat karni pari. Rama ji ne hanuman ki madad se ek pul tameer kiya aur badi jaddo jahad ke baad phir apne maqsad mein kamiyab hosakay. Urdu mein Lanka ke hawale se muntazir mahawaray raajeh hain maslan ghar ka bhedi Lanka dhaye. Sri LankaMain har shakhs baon guza hai waghera. Sri Lanka ki aik bari wajah shohrat chaaye ke baagh hain jahan duniya ki behtareen chaaye kasht aur tayari jaati hai. Aghaaz safar Sri Lanka Air Line ka Boeing tayara apne muqarrar waqt se chand minute pehle hi runway ki taraf rawana hogaya. Utrne bharne ke sath hi jahaz Behr-e-Arab se Behr-e-Hind ki janib Hindustan ke maghribi saahil ke sath sath udne laga. Neeche saahil samandar, kahin kahin shehr aur bastiyan dikhayi dein magar jald hi raat ka andhera chhaane laga. Phir zameen par saahil ka andaza sirf shehron ki roshniyon se hota raha. Kabhi kabhi neeche samandar ki gehri taareeki taare rahi jaise jahaz taareeki ke gehre aur uthaah samandar mein teer raha hai. Abhi shaam ke barmeem baje honge ke amliye ne raat ke khanay ke liye chamach aur traylian baja dien. Sath hi garam khane ki mehak har taraf phail gayi. Karachi mein dopehar ka khana khaye abhi zyada der na ho paai thi. Aik raah chalti hawai mehman se kaha ke hamein khana kuch der ke baad faraham karein magar Air Line ki lagi bandhi policy ke mutabiq yeh tabdeeli mumkin na thi chunaancha pur-shakam ko imtehan mein daalna para. Hawai mehman amliye ki khawateen sehatmand, sanwli aur saadi posh thin. Saadi apne rangon aur design se jazib nazar thi magar mehmanon ka pet Hindustani rawaj ki tarah aage peechay se un dhakka tha lekin yeh libas khawateen ki mustaidi aur karkardgi mein chandan rukawat na thi. Amliye ke mard bhi sehatmand, wajiha aur achay qad wale thay. Angrezi libas mein aur angrezi zabaan mein rawan magar unke rooya aur rulaj mein goron ki si malaemat maqsad thi. Jahaz mein mukhtalif jaghon par angrezi aur sinhali zabaanon mein maloomat darj thi. Pilot ki taraf elaan bhi angrezi aur sinhali zabaan mein thay. Menu bhi dono zabaanon mein tha. Urdu bar-e-sagheer ki bein-ul-aqwami aur duniya ki boli jane wali teesri bari zaban hai jo tamam bar-e-azamoon mein boli samjhi jati hai. Is zaban mein koi hidayat na thi magar urdu zaban jo apne watan mein ajnabi aur ghair hai to ghairon mein kaise pehchani jati hai. Khane se pehle poocha ke khana halal hai to mehman ka jawab tha ke yeh khana Karachi ke matbakh se tayyar karwaya hai. Khane mein yeh nadirat dekhi ke musafiron ke liye chavais tha yani do qisam ke khanon mein se kisi ek tray ko pasand karlein. Zaiqa aur miqdaar ke lehaz se khana munasib tha. Khane peene ke baad mehmanon ne bhagam bhag bartan sametay aur musafiron mein jald jald kambal baant diye. Maqsad yeh tha ke musafir mehmanon ko baar baar bulane ki bajaye ab sone ki koshish karein. Yeh sona haqeeqat mein bilkul be waqt tha. Is ko qailula kehla ja sakta tha aur na raat ka sona. Zahir hai chand matwalo ke siwa zyada tar musafir nishti video film dekh rahe thay ya aankhein band kiye waqt guzar rahe thay. Mujtaba ko pasand ki video game mil gayi thi. Amliye ne kambal taqseem karne ke sath hi jahaz ke andar ki tamam battiyan bhi gul kar di thin. Video film angrezi mein Hollywood ki thin ya Sri Lanka ki sinhali zabaan mein. Maqami filmon ke mawad social issues thay. Raat nau baje ke qareeb jahaz Colombo ke bandara naikiInter National Air Port par utar gaya. Colombo mein iss samay raat ke saade no baje ka waqt tha. Mosam mutadil tha aur Lahore ki sardi ghayab thi. Colombo Air Port naya tameer shuda hai. Yahan bhi aalam ghurbat ke bawajood roshniyon, sheeshon, raahdariyon aur showsha ki farawani hai. Iss shehar mein haal hi mein Sark ki International Conference khatam hui thi. Iss ke hawale se banners, boards aur Newan signs jagah jagah Air Port par awazain the. Har qadam ke baad Sri Lanka ke sadr ki tasveer nazar aati thi. Chananche utarne wale ghair mulki musafir chand hi lamhaon mein Sri Lanka mein kam az kam aik shakal se buhut achhi wakif ho chuke the. Zati shohrat aur numayish duniya ke har siyasat kar ki bunyadi kamzori hai. Pakistan, Punjab aur Sindh mein yahi wateera karfarma hai. Terminal par ghair mulki musafiron ke alag counters the. Chananche nushtah isharoon ke taqub mein chalte chalte wahan ja pahunchey. Sri Lanka ke shuba e immigration ne ghair mulki musafiron ke liye aik khaas ehtimam kar rakha hai. Is ke tehat email ke zariye visa darkhwast mufeed fees apne mulk se hi jama karwai ja sakti hai. Baray musafiron ke liye 15 dollars aur solah saal se kam umar bachon ke liye koi fees nahi hai. Chananche hum do baron aur aik bachay ka visa pehle se Islamabad mein lag chuka tha. Yeh visa parwaz se anay walon ko immigration counter se bhi mil jata hai. Visa par muddat qayam yahan darj ki jati hai chananche immigration desk se aik mah ka visa mila aur sath hi Welcome back ka kitaabcha bhi. Ji aya nu, khush amdeed ke liye Sinhali zaban mein AYUBOWAN (aiyo buwan) kaha jata hai. Iss kitaabche mein mukhtalif tajarti aur sayahati idaroon ki taraf se musafiron ke liye reyaton ke ilan se hote hain. Yani aap khareedari karein, kisi khas hotel mein aqamat pazeer hon ya kisi makhsoos company ki taxi service istemal karein to qeemat mein itne feesad reyat milegi. Is ke sath Sri Lanka ka naqsha aur wahan ki mashhoor mobile phone company Dialog ki taraf se aik sim bhi muft di jati hai jise mobile mein dalte hi musafir ko Sri Lanka mein 50 rupay tak muft Connectivity hasil ho jati hai. Parhao Immigration par camera ke zariye pehchan hui warna samaan check hua aur na hi koi jarah ki gayi. Computer record ke mutabiq visa pehle hi se manzoor ho chuka tha. To yeh pooch kar ke teenon musafir pehli bar sayahat ke liye Sri Lanka arahe hain. Nojawan babu ne foran hi dakhla ijazat sabit kar di. Air Port ki imarat ke andar to roshniyon ki kasrat se din ka saman tha. Wahan se bahar nikal kar dekha to parking area mein kam roshni nazar aayi. Utarne wale musafir bhi thode thay. Aik peelay card par hotel ki janib se apna naam likha to rabta hua. Chunkay is hotel ke sirf hum hi teen mehman thay is liye jald van mein sawar hogaye. Van nayi bhi thi aur air conditioned bhi. Bahar ka mosam garam aur pasina mael tha. Air Port se sheher jane wali sarak do roya, hamwar aur nayi thi. Ghalti se yeh bhi haal hiya conference ka tohfa tha. Sarak par traffic aikdum tha. Aane wali crossing se rawani mein khall na parda tha. Chananche van tez raftari se rawan thi. Air Port se sheher khasi mufasat par hai. Abhi raat ke 11 nahi baje thay magar bazaaron mein raunak aur hungama na tha. Zyada tar dukanain band thi, roshniyan kam aur paidal chalne walay bohot thode. Yeh baat kisi mohazzib magar kam waseela mulk ke liye bohot mufeed aur zaroori hai. Yani karobar aur bazaar ka jald aghaz hua aur shaam dhalay dukanain band hojain. Aik to sahi waqt par kaam aur aaram dosra waqt, bijli oR petrol ki bachat. Parking ka masla bhi dar peesh nahi aata. Koocha o bazaar ki safai bhi theek tarah se ki jati hai. RENUKA naam ka hotel, Colombo ki aik bari aur mashhoor shahrah Gale Road par waqe hai. Yeh hotel aik nahi do teen baham marboot imaraton ka majmua hai. Pohanchne par kisi ne khair mukadma pani ka poocha aur na mashhoor tareeqe se sawagat kiya. Front desk ki formalities aur email muahiday ki yaad dhaani ke saath check in hue. Chothi manzil par chhota sa kamra, mehdood samaan, ghusal khane mein tooth paste, comb aur slippers nahi thay. TV ke signal naqis chunanche koi Sri Lankan program na dekh paaye. Albatta chai coffee aur bijli kettle ka munasib intizam mojood tha. Kamre mein seyahat ke liye koi imdadi literature, naqsha ya rabte ki hidayat mojood nahi thi. Yeh bhi maloom nahi hua ke kahin ane jane ke liye booking kahan se hogi. Kamre mein na to simt qibla ya maghrib ka taayin mumkin tha aur na hi ward robe mein koi jaaye namaz thi. Albatta budh ki taleemat ke hawale se kisi scholar ke mazameen par mabni kitab mojood thi. Jis tarah Colombo gunjan shehar hai shayad isi ke pesh nazar hotel mein jagah ko zyada se zyada istemal kiya gaya hai. Hotel ki chhati ya saatween manzil par aik chhota sa swimming pool bhi tha jahan ghair mulki seyah shauq teeraki pura karte thay. Aik roz mujtaba bhi teerne ke liye gaya. Chat par se sab se khubsurat nazara samne dikhai dene wala neela samandar tha aur samandar ke kinare dono taraf se aati jati railway trains. Samandar se ane wali hawa bohot khushgawar aur farhat bakhsh thi. Sri Lanka Sri Lanka agar bhi Hindustan ke intehai junub mein behar Hind ke aghaz par aik anso ya makhruti moti ki tarah atka hua hai magar is ki abadi kaari aur raah guzar behar mein mojoodgi Hindustani ki tareekh mein zyada numayan nazar nahi aati. Shayad is liye ke Hinduon ke liye apni dharti mata se bahar nikalna ya samandar ka safar karna paap tha. Chananche yeh kufr torne ka irtikaab musalman malahon aur arab tajron se sar zad hua. Aik riwayat ke mutabiq jazeera Sri Lanka 30 hazar salon se abad hai. 16veen sadi mein yorpi qazaq loot maar karne mein aik doosre ka peechha karte karte idhar nikal aaye. Sinhali badshahat 1815 tak qaim rahi. Phir yorop ki 'taraqqi yafta' aqwam portugali, portugizi (dutch) aur angrez bahri guzar gahon ki chand sahili peton par qabiz hue. Yorpi tajron ki reshay dunayon aur hathkandhon se sara mulk Taj Britain ke zair e nigeen aagaya. Is doran maqami hurriyat pasandon aur azaad taba logon ne 1818 aur 1845 mein baghawatein ki jo nakam rahin. Aakhir 1948 mein angrez ki ghulami se nijat mili aur Sri Lanka azad hogaya. 1972 mein Ceylon ne Jamhuriya aur Sri Lanka ka naam ikhtiyar kiya aur 1978 mein mulk ko aik dastoor mila. Baaz dakhli aur kai khariji aawamil ki bina par shumali Sri Lanka khasosan shumali Tamil Jaffna mein khana jung chhid gayi jo 25 saal ki be shumar qatl o gharet ke baad 2009 mein ikhtitam pazeer hui. Baghi anasir ko Tamil Tiger kaha jata tha. Mahindra Raja Paksa, Sri Lanka ke aaj kal chhate sadr hain. Mulk ka sarkari naam Democratic Social Republic of Sri Lanka hai. (Behawala Ministry of National Languages and)Social Integration 2010 (A) Mulk ki abadi 20.3 million hai jis mein 74 feesad abadi sinhali hai aur baqi mein tamil aur doosre qoum. Mazhabi aitbar se 70 feesad abadi budh mat, 8 feesad islam, 7 feesad hindu mat, 6 feesad isaiyat aur doosre mazahib ke pairokar hain. 2012 tak 57227 noo musalman mulk ki mardum shumari mein musalman shumar nahin hosakay thay. Sri Lankan musalmanon mein Moor, Hindi musalman aur Malaysi musalman shamil hain. Yahan Islam athween sadi ke lag bhag aya aur zyada tar janib behar Hind, Jazeera ki patti ke sath sath maqbool hua. Musalman Galle naam shahar se oopar shumal ki janib Colombo tak abad hain. Pandrahween sadi tak musalman malahar (Sailors) hi behar Hind ke hakmaran thay. Sunni Islam ke tehat zyada tar musalman Shafi'i aur Hanafi alfikar ke hain. Thorhi tadaad mein Shia bhi hain jin mein Bohra aur Maiman shamil hain. Musalmanon ki tadaad aur un ke asarat ke pesh nazar 1980 mein Muslim Religious Cultural Herritage qaim kiya gaya. Colombo shahar ka mojooda mayor ek musalman hai aur awam ki bhalaai ke liye anthak kaam karta nazar ata hai. Chogam ki kamiyabi mein is ka bhi hissa hai. Budh Mazhab Allah Taala ne dunya ki mukhtalif qoum mein apne barguzida paigham bar bheje takay woh apni apni qoum ko us ki zuban mein Allah ki batein batayen. Tauheed ki dawat dein, shirk se guraiz samjhayen. Logon ko khair ki talqeen karein aur burai se bachne ki hidayat dein. Baaz anbiya ka zikr Quran mein mojood hai jin ke namon aur jaghon se mushrikeen Makkah aur doosre mukhatibeen shanasa thay taham bohot sarey nabioun ka zikr mojood nahi hai jo door draz ke mulkon mein mab'oos hue aur jin ke namon se ahl-e-arab shanasa na thay. Ram Chandar Ji ki tarah Gotam Budh bhi aise barguzida nekoo karon mein shamil hain. Aaj un ki taleemat kya hai aur pairokar kaise hain? Is ka jawab tahreef o tasawwuf, kutman o nisyan aur bidat o zalaalat ki tareekh mein mazmir hai jo Islam ke mojooda pairokaron ki tareekh se mukhtalif nahi hai. Kapil Vastu ke Siddharth Gotam Budh (P: 563 BC - M: 453 BC) ki buniyadi taleemat yeh hain. Chaar aala achhaiyan: 1. Insaan apni jebat mein dukhon aur museebaton ka maskan hai. 2. In dukhon aur mahrumiyon ka sabab insaan ki khud gharzi aur us ke nafs ki khwahishat hain. 3. Is infaradi khud gharzi aur khwahish ko khatam kiya ja sakta hai. 4. Khud gharzi aur khwahish se bachne ke aath raaste hain: Raast fikar, raast soch, raast goi, raast baazu baandu baash, raast jiddo jehad, raast zehan, raast nukta-e-nazar. Gotam Budh sahib ki taleemat ke mutabiq har budh paanch wade karta aur unhein poora karne ki koshish karta hai:yle="text-align: justify;">1. Kisi zinda cheez ko nuksan ya qatal na karna. 2. Chori na karna ya kisi cheez ko churana jo azaadi se di gayi na ho. 3. Jinsi khwahishon ko control karna. 4. Jhoot na bolna. 5. Sharab peena ya nasha aawar dawaiyon ka istemal na karna. CHOGM CHOGM sarbrahan mumalikat ki halia khatam hone wali beyn ul aqwami conference COMMONWEALTH HEAD OF GOVERNMENTS MEETING ke asarat har taraf nazar aate hain. Yun lata hai jaise qaumi qayadat aur awam ne is taqreem ko apne watan ko ubharnay aur manwanay ke liye isay khoob istemal kiya hai. Akhbarat mein hizb ikhtilaf ki janib se mukhalfat bhi sunayi deti hai. Khasoosan taqreem par be payan kharch aur sadr ki zati tashheer ke hawale se magar taqreem se aam behtari dikhayi di. Khas tor par shehar ki safai. Har qisam ke amalon ki nai uni form, chamaknay wale bill boards, shokh rang saaf rickshay, jadeed nai taxis aur sarakon ke naam aur taza paint, qadeem imaraton ka rang o roghan. Aisi taqrebat se khidmat guzar amalon (Service Provider) ke akhlaq aur rawaye mein bhi behteri aati hai. Qaumi tafakur ko jala milti hai. Is ke ilawah saahiron aur musafiron ke sath shehriyon ka acha bartao aur un ka meetha bol waqai jadoo asar rakhta hai. Bazaars, markets aur dukanain aam tor par jald khul jati hain. Subah ke waqt chunanacha awam ka anboh fit patton par daftaron ki janib aur apne karobar ki taraf rawan hota hai. Uni form mein malbus baste uthaye bachay bhi badi tadad mein school ja rahe hote hain. Public transport yaani sarkari buses go khasi purani hain lekin munh andhere dhal kar sarakon par ajati hain aur bohot badi tadad mein. Musafir qataar (Q) to nahi banate lekin dhakam pehl bhi nahi hoti. Mardon aur aurton ke liye alag hisse ya alahida darwazay nahi hote goya dono pheya barabar ghoomte hain. Sarkain badi bhi hain aur chhoti bhi, single bhi aur double bhi. One way bhi aur do tarafah bhi. Kahin kahin traffic jam hota hai khasosan bahar se anay wale traffic aur wo bhi sham ke baad. Shehar mein din ko traffic be rok tok rawan dawan nazar aya. Traffic police bohot mustaid aur chust hain. Public transport aur rickshaw dono maqbool zariay hain. Taxi ka zyada istemal ghair mulki tourists karte hain. Hairan kun had tak kisi transport ko dhuan chhorte, patakhe marte ya dhaka khatay nahi dekha. Rickshaw ki sawari bohot araam deh aur affordable hai. Hadisah se bachne ke liye rickshaw ki seat sirf bayen taraf khulti hai dayen janib lohay ki sheet yaani jis taraf sarak hai idhar se rasta band kar diya gaya hai. Maqsad yeh hai ke sawari sarak ki janib se sawar ho aur na utarsake. Tamam rickshay ek design ke hain magar un ke rang juda juda hain. Surkh, sabz, neela, peela waghera. Aksar ke meters chal rahe hain aur jis ka meter down na hosake us rickshay ka karobar aur bartao Pakistani rickshaw ki tarah hota hai. Sab se dilchasp amr yeh hai ke Sri Lanka ke rickshaw mein ba ik waqt teen musafir b asani baith sakte hain koizaid kiraaya nahi liya jata. ek khabar dekhne mein aayi ke "chogam" ke mauqe par aawara kutte shehar badr kar diye gaye thay. taqreebat khatam ho jane ke baad sarkaari kharch par 200 Community dogs wapas shehar mein la basaaye gaye.
