GAIRSAIN OR DEHRADUN? :WHICH SHOULD BE THE CAPITAL UTTARAKHAND?
UTTARAKHAND IS A STATE IN NORTHERN INDIA WHICH IS ALMOST COVERED WITH THE HIMALAYAS EXCLUDING THE HARIDWAR AND USN DISTRICTS.THIS STATE WAS WORSE HIT BY THE FLASH FLOODS OF 2013 LAST YEAR.ALMOST ALL THE PLACES IN THE UTTARAKHND WERE FEVER STRICKEN DUE TO THIS DISASTER IN THEIR ECONOMY,CULTURE AND THEIR HEARTS OF LOOSING EACH AND EVERY THING IN THE DISASTER.THIS WAS ALL ABOUT THE STATE WITH THIRTEEN DISTRICTS WHO WILL BE 14 YEAR OLD ON 19TH NOVEMBER 2014.IT IS A VERY BIG ISSUE ABOUT ITS CAPITAL AS IT IS NOT SURE THAT WHICH PLACE SHOULD BE ITS CAPITAL.
TEMPORARILY IT IS DEHRADUN.BEFORE THE MAKING OF UTTARAKHAND IT WAS DECIDED TO MAKE GAIRNSAIN AS THE CAPITAL OF THE UTTARAKHAND AS IT LIES IN THE CENTRE OF THE UTTARAKHAND IN THE GARHWAL LOKSABHA SEAT AND IS CONSIDERED AS THE BIGGEST TOWN IN THE BORDER OF GARHWAL AND KUMAON.GAIRNSAIN IS A GOOD PLACE JUST LIKE A HILL STATION.IT HAS A COOL CLIMATE ALMOST THROUGH OUT THE YEAR.AND EVEN THE BRITISHERS GAVE THE PROPOSAL TO MAKE IT AS A CAPITAL OF BRITISH GARHWAL AND OCCUPIED KUMAON.BUT THEN ALSO THE PROPOSAL WAS NOT SENT ANY MORE AND THE GAIRNSAIN'S DREAM REMAINED THE DREAM OTHERWISE IT WOULD HAD BECOME AS IF LIKE SHIMAL.PEOPLE OF UTTARAKHAND FOUGHT MANY WARS TO UNIFY THEMSELVES FROM THE GORKHA'S,BRITISHERS AND THE UTTAR PRADESH PROVINCE.UTTARAKHAND WAS MADE IN 2000 AND THE PROPOSED CAPITAL GAIRNSAIN WAS FAILED BY THE NEW GOVEERNMENT.ALONG WITH THAT THE CENTRAL GOVERNMENT POSSESSED SOME MORE PROBLEMS WHICH I WILL DISCUSS IN THE NEXT EPISODE.HOW EVER THE CITY OF UTTARAKHAND WAS MADE ITS TEMPORARY CAPITAL UNTILL THE GOVERNMENT FINDS ANY OTHER CAPITAL FOR IT.THE UTTARAKHAND'S REVOLUTIONARIES GAVE THEIR LIVES TO UNIFY THE REGION OF GARHWAL AND KUMAON AND DREAMT OF OUR GOOD FUTURE AND GAIRNSAIN AS THE DREAM CITY AS A CAPITAL OF THE NEW STATE UTTARAKHAND.GAIRNSAIN DEALT WITHE THE COMMON PROBLRMS OF ''THE REAL PEOPLES OF UTTARAKHAND'' THE GARHWALIS,KUMAONIS,BHOTIYAS,AND JAUNSARIS.HOW EVER WHEN DEHRADUN WAS MADE THE CAPITAL OF UTTARAKHAND.THIS WA VERY DISGUSTING FOR THE PEOPLES OF PAHAD AS THEIR DREAM WAS FADING BEFORE THEIR EYES OF BA PAHADI STATE OF GARHWAL AND KUMAON.THE DREAM OF DEVELOPMENT FOR THBE REASON WE SEEKED INDEPENDENCE WAS GOING AWAY.DEHRADUN IS FINE ITS A GOOD CITY ,BETTER AGRICULTURE,SCHOOLING AND RESIDENTS AND MOREOVER NO PROBLEMS LIKE PAHAD AND THE REAL PEOPLE OF UTTARAKHAND DONT WANT THIS BEAUSE STATE OF PAHAD SHOULD REMAIN AND ACT LIKE A HILLY STATE AND NOT LIKE THAT OF A STATE OF PLAINS.UTTARAKHAND IS THE ONLY HILLY STATE WHOSE CAPITAL IS NOT IN PAHAD.DEHRADUN PROVIDES COMFORT BUT IT WONT BE ABLE TO LISTEN TO THE REAL PEOPLE OF UTTARAKHAND.
FROM ALMOST 90% OF THE PLACES OF GARHWAL AND ALL OF THE KUMAON REGION GAIRNSAIN IS MUCH NEAR THAN DEHRADUN AND MOREOVER THEY WILL REACH DELHI EARLIER THAN DEHRADUN.PEOPLE OF UTTARAKHAND NEEDS DEVELOPMENT WHICH WILL BE POSSIBLE ONLY WHEN THE CAPITAL WILL BE IN MOUNTAINS.
BECAUSE OF DEHRADUN THE RATE OF URBANIZATION IN PAHAD HAS INCREASED VERY MUCH AND IT COULD BE SOLVED ONLY WHEN THE CAPITAL WILL BE IN PAHAD LIKE GAIRSAIN.THE GAIRNSAIN CAN BECOME LIKE SHIMLA IF THE GOVERNMENT WILL DO SOME EFFORTS.LAST YEAR'S FLOOD TRAGEDY WAS REALLY VERY DEVASTATING AND HEART RENDING BUT MOST OF THE GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS WERE NOT ABLE TO UNDER STAND THE SITUATION PROPERLY AND THUS THE GOVERNMENT WORK WAS NOT THAT MUCH EFFECTIVE.BUT IF THE CAPITAL WOULD HAD BEEN IN GAIRSAIN THEN AT LEAST THE GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS WOULD HAVE EXPERIENCED THE CASUALITY AND THEIR WORK WOULD BE SOME MORE EFFECTIVE.
CM.BAHUGUNA INSTALLED A MAP OF VIDHAN SABHA BHAVAN AT GAIRNSAIN AND CM.HARISH RAWAT DID ONE SESSION OF BILLS IN GAIRNSAIN.BUT THIS WAS ALSO JUST LIKE SHOW OFF NO ONE CARES OF HILL AND ONE DAY PAHAD ALONG WITH ITS CULTURE,CUSTOMS,PROFESSIONS,FOLKS AND PEOPLE WILL FADE AWAY IN THIS WORLD.
''A BIG THANKS TO THE MORTARS(शाहीद ) OF UTTARAKHAND ANDOLAN SHOULD BE REMEMBERED BY ALL OF US.''
