In the previous episode, we talked about the reaction of Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi when he heard Madhushala for the first time and also what Madhushala says about the caste and religion. Today, an interesting story from Lucknow, but before that a bit about Marsiya.

पिछले अंक में हमने बात की थी कि जब लोगों ने गांधी जी से मधुशाला की शिकायत की तो उनकी क्या प्रतिक्रिया थी। और मधुशाला में धर्म, जाती और सामाजिक असमानताओं के बारे में कुछ कविताओं की – आज उसी क्रम को आगे बढ़ाते हैं और बात करते हैं मर्सिया की –

हरा भरा रहता मदिरालय, जग पर पड़ जाए पाला, वहाँ मुहर्रम का तम छाए, यहाँ होलिका की ज्वाला,

स्वर्ग लोक से सीधी उतरी वसुधा पर, दुख क्या जाने, पढ़े मर्सिया दुनिया सारी, ईद मनाती मधुशाला (25)

And -

और रसों में स्वाद तभी तक, दूर जभी तक है हाला, इतरा लें सब पात्र न जब तक, आगे आता है प्याला,

कर लें पूजा शेख, पुजारी तब तक मस्जिद मन्दिर में, घूँघट का पट खोल न जब तक झाँक रही है मधुशाला (52)

The theme of this and new few episodes will be what Madhushala says about religions and castes.
