History Quotes

साहित्य की नींव भाषा पर टिकी है। यह एक भाषाई कला है, इसलिए यह अतीत से अपने रिश्ते को पूरी तरह काट नहीं सकती। हाँ, यह ऐसे नए तौर-तरीके और शैलियाँ ज़रूर गढ़ सकती है जो संरचना, रूप और सामग्री के मामले में अतीत से बिल्कुल अलग हों।

जाहिर है, मुझे लगता है कि अपने इतिहास को पलटकर देखना बहुत जरूरी है, और इसीलिए मुझे लगता है कि 'प्राइड' (Pride) जैसे आयोजन बहुत अहम हैं। यह जरूरी नहीं कि यह सिर्फ आपके अपने जीवन के अनुभवों के बारे में हो, न ही इस बारे में कि समलैंगिक होना आपके लिए कितना मुश्किल रहा है; बल्कि यह इस सच्चाई के बारे में है कि लोगों ने सैकड़ों सालों तक इस बात को समाज में स्वीकार्य बनाने के लिए संघर्ष किया है, और इस बात को भी याद रखने के लिए कि दुनिया के कई देश ऐसे हैं जहाँ आज भी यह स्वीकार्य नहीं है और समलैंगिक होना बहुत खतरनाक है।

हमारे पास ज़मींदार हैं, छोटे किसान हैं। ऐसे लोग हैं जो उस ज़मीन को सहेज कर रखे हुए हैं जिसे उनके परिवारों ने गुलामी के बाद हासिल किया था। उन्हें हमारे द्वारा खाए जाने वाले कुछ खाद्य पदार्थों का उत्पादन करने की आवश्यकता है, ताकि वे कर (टैक्स) चुका सकें और संपत्ति को अपने पास रख सकें। टैक्स लगातार बढ़ रहे हैं। हम, और हमारे कहने का मतलब अश्वेत लोगों से है, तेज़ी से भूमिहीन होते जा रहे हैं। हमारे पूर्वजों ने गुलामी से बाहर निकलकर 15 मिलियन एकड़ से अधिक ज़मीन हासिल की थी। आज, हम शायद 2 मिलियन एकड़ से भी कम पर सिमट गए हैं।

We have landowners, small growers. We have people who are holding onto land that was acquired by their families after slavery. They need to produce some of the food we eat, so they can pay the taxes and hold onto the property. Taxes keep going up. We, and by we I mean black people, are rapidly becoming a landless people. Our ancestors, coming out of slavery, acquired more than 15 million acres of land. Today, we're probably down to less than 2 million acres.

آرمینیا کے لوگ، جو جنوسائڈ سے بچ کر نکلے ہیں، نسل کشی کی روک تھام کے لیے نوعِ انسانی اور تاریخ کے سامنے ایک اخلاقی فریضہ رکھتے ہیں۔ ہم نے جنوسائڈ کنونشن کے مستقل نفاذ میں مدد کے لیے اپنی پوری کوشش کی ہے اور کرتے رہیں گے۔ نسل کشی کا تعلق صرف ایک قوم سے نہیں ہو سکتا، کیونکہ یہ پوری انسانیت کے خلاف جرم ہے۔
