Way to Mithila-V&VI :Whether Mithila’s statehood was also n

  Way to Mithila-V

I took a ticket for Samastipur  in way to Delhi which is a way to Mithila  State also as it happened in the case of Maithili's inclusion in the Constitution too as  National capital  was the battle ground for such issues.
Even for the IIT at Darbhanga Dr. Sureshwar Jha advised for campaigning near MPs and Ministers from  Mithila area as he had done for the radio station at Darbhanga.
Incidentally my job is that in which leaves are restricted and  for that I had already instructd our Delh workers for  having such work at their own level and they were to meet  me there.
At Delhi the primary function was the NEC meeting of the NMO and  query about May 27th meeting for the AMP at Delhi for which some important workers were to meet me at the NMO's venue.

I  entered in the almost vacant  passenger train for Patna, even knowing that Shahid Express would go  one and hour  late. I resumed by 12 noon I would be at Delhi whch was already communicated. At previous night I was cautioned that Shaheed  usually runs late and hence I had made an enquiry at station.
There was Sampark Kranti standing on platform no.1 which was a faster  train but  for a meeting at Samastipur  I had  chosen  the Shaheed express to have some  more time and when it was  known to me that it was  late I  informed the house  of Hareramji  that it will give some extra time and I had  gone to passenger train and was almost sleepy that a boy told further announcement that Shaheed would be  five and half hour late. I became anxious and quickly I got down went to the reservation counter for canceling my  reservation in Shaheed but there was a long queue and I  rushed to platform 1 for Sampark  Kranti express- whether to board the train with an improper ticket( of a passenger train) to Samstipur (as the passenger was  then supposed to leave after Sampark  Kranti jeopardizing my  meeting there)? I went to towards the general compartment and near the engine there was a half  coach(meant for ladies but  almost males were there) where a person  recognizing me called me. He was  Prof.Ayodhyanath Jha, brother of Tara Babu and I entered that utmost I would have to give penalty.
In such circumstances where a passenger is not  at fault, technically he is wrong and has  agony what to do.
Anyway we talked on the Mithila movement and he informed me about a very successful meeting of the Mithila Rajya Abhiyan at Biraul and he was of the opinion that Biraul can play a vital role for the movement as Rahika had played for the Maithili movement.
I still said that we should concentrate on other districts of Mithila as well.
He also reminded me for an article on Tara Babu Abhinandan Granth(while its editor Dr. Sureshwar Jha had in  previous journey asked me for an article this time he had not reminded and infact it was  I had forgotten that). I told him that on my one decade association with him I would write at the earliest and send it on e-mail of my teacher Dr. Mohan Mishra whose number he provided.(from Delhi I took his id and after I came to Bangalore did  that work first to write and e-mail and also sent a hard copy to Sureshwar Babu with his desired materials on Ireland and Irish language).
The Sampark Kranti too behaved like a passenger train and halting everywhere(justifying my ticket) it could reach Samsatipur. In the way Prof. Jha contacted Hareramji and I talked to him . As he was fighting  for a local body election no meeting could be arranged. While I took a shy of relief that now I would take the first available train (Vaishali Express ) it also suggests how  even a good worker takes up the modality of meeting despite one comes  with such strain and well informed - be it Darbhanga or  Samastipur  or any or many such places. We need a cadre-based mass organization everywhere for proper utilization of our little resources.
At Samastipur there was  not a long queue and I could  cancel  my ticket  although with full refund whether my  problems were to be addressed ?
There was no question of  a berth in the Vashali- even 15 days back there was 200+ Waiting List! I  was apprehensive whether with an ordinary ticket I could enter into the compartment but there was no rush and I could get a seat at least.
At Muzaffarpur I went to the STD booth and informed Dharmandji's daughter that I was in the general compartment in the rear side of the train. He would have been instructed not to come by Ayodhyanathji  as in the train we could not  get him on mobile.

Hazipur, famous for Hariharkshetra, an avatar kshetra which I wish be named on Hariharnath rather a lootera Hazi Illias!
Sonepur I saw famous for animal fair and Bhojpur started.

Jeeradei I saw and thought whether Rajendra Babu was born there. Initially there  was one Natwarlal there and everywhere scores of Natwarlal are may not be so sharp and educated like original!

At Hazipur I purchased  bananas though  famous for it, t was not so tasty but purchasing  those or peda by  vendor had also a feeling in my mind that I  was  by purchasing those was  also helping the person.
I was reading book on Sooraj Narayan Singh presented by Dr. Sureshwar Jha and had almost finished with ters in eyes many times- how  such great revolutionaries  who made India independent  were neglected in free India and Sooraj Bau thogh escaped from  martyrdom  during British Rule got it in Independent India and shameless Govt. even tried to  put a curtain on his death by brutal lathi charge - that revolutionary died in a Gadhian way without any protest in the regime of a PM who had a title GANDHI!
As soon as the train reached Chhapra it was over packed and I was alone to have not allowed others on my single window seat- there were 27 passengers  packed  on and above seats and on the floor! The gate became  chocked and there I was an idol (a Murthy) on my seat! It is not that I had not traveled in past in  such  rush but  after having a reservation and canceling that and then having journey like that!
A young man's family was going and how pleased they were with little home-made food!
I decided that I would not eat  or drink anything as it was  very difficult to go to toilet.
I started eating one banana(small size of Hazipur) half hourly and  a sip of water in between till I slept in midnight on that seat.
I crossed through  Basti and whenever I cross that station I see the portrait of Achrya  Ramchandra Shulka who  worked for Hindi as if  for the freedom movement and me or any Maithil is not opposing that Hindi.
We oppose only intrusion on our mother tongue and that is applicable to Bhojpuri, Awadhi, Braj as well.
Gonda came and I remembered Nanaji Deshmukh who worked there  renunciated  politics at 60(his disciples are  gluing to the posts)!
Came Gorakhpur and Dharmanandji was there! He praised the work  of a BJP MLA who won again despite  Maya's maya.. that MLA was a doctor of course!
Somebody had said  in the NMO conference, doctors as a politician are better than others and one more proof of that(the most  enlightening was  of a place Multai of MP where about a decade back an independent doctor  had won as was said by a co-passenger!
I want such politicians from every walk of life and have no prejudices about party as nation is supreme than party.
We talked till train left. He was surprised how I was traveling in that coach and me too on myself and had memoirs of him – he had been my one of the best associate(a few junior to me  but very mature) for the NMO work while he was at Ranchi and I started NMO from Darbhanga!
He  was also of the opinion that we should embark for a medical college as now the day of doing small things have gone..
Way to Mithila-VI :Whether Mithila's statehood was  also not Wait Listed 2 (Concluding)
I saw Lucknow from my seat where many times I have halted but this time I could not even gt down on the platform. At Lucknow I had  so far not  a Maithil meeting  but always I had been there for the NMO meeting since 1988 however, Anant Kr. Singh, IAS was the only Maithil  whom I knew  from my medical college days but more  like a younger brother as he was a few years  senior to my youngest brother at Netarhat School and his eldest brother  Dr. Swatantra Kumar Singh, senior to me was introduced  by him who now practices at Saharsa. Swatantraji was very close to Ramnanadan Mishra, a great Socialist leader who was an assitant to Gandhiji also and  when Jay Prakash Narayan differed from his booklet'Socilists whither.' He took a spiritualistic path and there I was taken by Swatantraji. I use to read newspapers for that old freedom fighter. He invited me several times on spiritual path but I did not  follow. With hs letter I was introduced to Acharya Binoba Bhave who had given me an appreciation in his own when handwriting when I met him at Pawanar in 1981.
Anant  was posted at Lucknow most of the time and in few visits I could meet him. Once I was traveling on Agra-Kanpur route and somebody criticized him that he ordered firing  on Uttarakhandi agitationists while DM of Muzaffarnagar.
I decoded I would never  see him again-was he same Anant who used to go with me selling Babuji(Ramnandan Mishra)'s  booklets in the outskirt of Darbhanga?
Once I had gone to Saharsa and could not resist myself to meet Swatantraji in Koshi Colony there. Bhabhi saw me from a distance and recognized-'Dhanakarjee, bahut  varsh bad ayalanhu?" I had memory of  Swatantraji's room in the House Officers' Residence where  two days' before the publication of Ananat's result of Matriculation I had asked him two questions:
1.     Write any  four lines of any poem
2.      Draw a rough sketch of India.
When he did that I found the mistakes- he had not started every line from a Capital letter and had not shown Andman Nicobar and Lakshdweep in sketch, even on prompting he had added Sri Lanka which was not a part of India. Only today(24.5.2007) the TOI has published my letter, on renaming the islands' names on Britishers' on old tribal traditional names rather than  of Jhansi rani or Tatya Tope who had not been there.

I said with sorrow that he should not top in Bihar(including Jharkhand) and when  after two days  the results were published in the Aryavart(then popular Hindi daily, established by Darbhanga maharaja at Patna) he was laced third in  Bihar though he had been top in the internal examinations of Netarhat School.
Bhabhi  started  saying,"aanha Brahmin bhay shrap day deliyak, tain Anantbabu top nahee lelkay," despite my plea that the result would have been made much before I had said that.
After his housephysicinship Swatantraji changed his house near Babuji's house and there too I was a frequent visitor and used to relish mangoes from Bhabhi's naihar, Mathai, a village near Saharsa(where too once I had gone to meet her).
And so many memories –of her daughter, Preeti whose nick name was Sweetee but I used to call her Madhulika, after a long  pause I could translate  Sweetee like that.

At  that summer night at Saharsa when we  all were on the roof to  sleep I said to Bhabhi,"Some day Anant will fire on me too leading Mithila  movement procession."
Now she started weeping," No, Anantbabu was made a ploy of conspiracy of some fertilizer mill owner, he is innocent."

After few years, in the next visit  when I had gone to  Lucknow, I enquired from him the details. He had already won the case in the Press Council of India as his imaginary interview was published  in a  newspaper  where he was cited as saying if women would go to field in such processions there rape was not unnatural…
This thing  I had also read in a book by T.N. Sheshan. When Anant had phoned him  he had not talked him. A defamation suit could not be  done against him as he had not mentioned his name but merely written, "DM of Muzaffarnagar."
I later wrote against it to some of the editors.

And  few years later I saw a  full page news in India Today,"Akhir Anant Singh ko Nyay Mil Gaya,"- he had been absolved of charges by the High Court.

When that Anant  had come to me in my medical ward informing that he had competed in IAS, I had  given peon Rs.10 to bring sweets(then in 1982 Rs.10 has some value!) and after he had eaten, I had told," I am not happy with your result. You should have been a scientist." he was a record breaker of the IIT, Khargur in physics and had first joined Indian Railway Traffic Sevrice then also I had told him to work on the modernization of railway lines.

Later he used to write me from Masooree and Ranikhet and Deoria  always rebutting my points," Administrators behind the screen do this ..that..etc.." I used to read his good handwriting but later our connection were severed.
In one such visit,  at Lucknow, I was offered a glass of sharbat by his wife but there was an ant and hence I asked her to change. She changed that.  During that time Anant was talking on phone. After that his wife asked whether he too would take sharbat. "Bhaiya jo nahee piye ,vahee lakar de do.."
She had alredy thown that. He said,"kya hua, cheetee to aise hee,cheeni ke sath rahti hai."
At least I had an impression that he must not have been bribed by those fertilizer mafia with a bagful of notes as Bhabhi had said me that night at Saharsa.
While Secretary to Union Minister Rajnath Singh in the Vajayee cabinet, once I had been his office ,not only there but also at the airport he touched my feet as if a real brother in Maithil tradition.
The Saharsa corridor of the East-West road was due to his intervention.
In one of the visits I was coming from south and he pointed to my little bag to his son, a school going student," dekho, Chacha kaise  itna kan saman me 15 din kee yatra karenge."
It was good that this time I had not asked him for arranging a berth. Once I had phoned him my PNR number to his PS and then return phone at my residence had come "in which class,"
"A sleeper ticket,' might be surprising for that PS when my sister had told him but had he came to me to see me like Dharmanandji he might have cursed me.
IAS is "I Agree Sir," used to  Abhash Kumar Chatterjee, the only other IAS I knew closely (and MK Hassan after being introduced with him at Abhasjee's death bed at Ranchi when though he was under my care a call was not sent to me and I could see him after 12 hours and a late diagnosis of  cerebral malaria and he could not be saved despite being airlifted to the AIIMS).
Abhashji was topper of Matriculation in Bihar in 1957 and was also a topper of the IAS who took VRS and spent his time among tribal people of  Chotanagpur, provided livelihood to hundreds of traditional weavers and saw their product was marketed even up to Germany. He was distributing chloroquine tablets to prevent malaria among them but became a victim of that. Abhashji was also from Purnea and I had almost made agreed him to join Mithila movement but his condition was that he may join ,"Mithla Hindu Party," as per Christian Democratic Party of Germany. Hindus are in itself democratic, though we agreed on the historical analysis of our independence movement we differed on rigid Hindu approach.

Lucknow is a crucible of politics and though once named on Laxman(Laxmanpuri) has a tradition of moderation in  polity. Vajpayee represented the constituency and several RSS stalwarts karmbhumi was it but  without mentioning my  memoires with Bhaurao  Deoras who studied there and was a whole-timer, let me say few  names from medical field-
I was first introduced there with Anil Jain who was a student and later served also in the tribal area of Bihar for a year who arranged NEC meet(in fact any big meet outside Bihar) of the NMO  during September 25-26, 1988.
And then the hostels of the KGMC, many times I visited- Suryakant(yes he is Tripathy though named after the great poet is not 'Nirala'), Narsingh Verma and  Vinay Agrwal, Lal Chand,  from BHU to LHMC to Mayurvihar, whose house remained my  stopover till he had a house, and last but not the least I had been at the house of Manish Pandey who organized a national conference and  also once my press conference, so widely covered by the media and  also of Ashwini Tondon who was a  student of ANMMC, Gaya.

I also was once a  guest of Dr. N.S. Bhatnagar(on whose insistence luckily I could have darshan of  Ayodhya temple before  it was demolished by hard-liner Hindus. I say it temple because I had seen inscriptions of lotus and pitcher on the walls where Ramlala was kept and also as a circumstantial evidence  there were many small temples as one can see in any Hindu ancient  major temple and no  mosque  around).

I had also been at the house of Dr. Vinay Mishra and used to talk Dr. Narsingh Verma frequently for my programmes.
As said crucible of politics,' politics in servics' also began from here, in the realm of the NMO when at its XIV National Conference at Lucknow  (April 8-9,2000) one worker insisted for the post which was till then unthinkable in the NMO.

People change but place remains and so memory! Once  while in 1980s I had met Kalraj Mishra on that Lucknow platform , a youth leader who is a prominent one. Dr. Ashok Varshneya once came to receive me as Nagar Parchark became Prant rachark of Jharkhand has been in cordial relation always.

Why Maya prevailed- there may be many explanations to that but harnessing even 30 per cent of 46 per cent votes polled need a cadre. The Congress lost its one party rule because  it lost its cadres in UP and so BJP lost because of its 'Congressisation' and Mandalisation  from UP  as well as other states.
The Maya had put herself a viable alternative and all who wanted to get rid of Mulayam and went to vote made her 'Behanji of UP' who may dream to be 'Malika of India,' if the national parties do not change their way and modalities of functioning.
Lucknow is  having a building(Imambada probably) which  'Bhul-bhulaiya' where one  forgets the way without a guide and in  a bigger sense Lucknow itself is a 'bhul bhulaiya' of Indian polity.
Though constitutionally one state, U.P. despite shelving hilly Uttarakhand  is an amalgam of several states- Purvanchal,Awadh, Bundelkhand,Braj and Shaursen(which now Ajit Singh wants as Harit Pradesh). Taken together equivalent to Pakistan, only five countries of the world (China, rest of India, USA, Indonesia and  Brazil) are  having more population  than U.P.
Formerly it was called Province of  Ouadh State & Brar which was later changed to the United Province before it was called Uttar Pradesh though it is not in fact the northern (uttar) state(Pradesh) it has given  Uttar(answers) of the questions  whenever put before the nation as it is the heartland of the Ganga-Brahmputrea valley  but at the moment it has put more questions than provided answers, I thought seeing the platforms and population of the area and do not remember when I slept  on my seat.
I  was awakened by the voices of vendors at Kanpur where too I did not called in that mid-night Premkant Jha, a senior Maithili worker and Shrigesh Mishra of Madhubani who has been with me since the I International Maithili Conference at Ranchi June 19-20,1993 and  was a fellow who on cycle was my pilot like guide to arrange meetings  in my 132 km padyatra in Oct.1993 when I  had started  alone  on an unknown path of Mithila…
My first Maithili  meeting was held  there at the Saraswati Shishu Mandir, Railbazar and then at many places including one big meeting at the Chambers Hall I had addresses where Babu Saheb Chaudhary, Kolkata's son-in law had played the role of Ugna in Ugna natak (Lord Shiva  working as  a servant of Mahakavi Vidyapati brought  Gangajal when asked by Vidaypati to bring water in a summer and that Vidyapti recognized- "From where you could bring Gangajal? Who are you?' Lord said I am Shiva but will live with you  on the condition that you will not reveal that. Once Vidyapati's wife was angry on Ugna and  threw a burning  wood on Him..
"What you are doing –He is Lord Siva..
And Shiva  vanished.
Mahakavi became  mad and wrote- "Ugna re more kat Gealaih?"
(In this journey in that early morning to Madhubani I saw the  dome of the temple from Sakri- Pandaul road; from Ugna I had started my Cycle Yatra in 1994 in a  scorching summer and had been there also in a Maithili workers' training camp thereafter- a nationally important pilgrimage center it may be if developed properly).
There is also a Maithil  Ugna Mahadev Mandir at Shastri nagar where once I had my pradosh puja after which I had taken almost full stomach sweets brought by Dr. Malay Chaturvedi, an surgeon. and twice I was guest of Shriballabh Jha where  typical Maithili food was served.
I remember a  pan-vendon at the Jarail more in Madhubani district had once told me during my Cycle-Yatra that after Kolkata Maithils were most at Kanpur. In some respect they have achieved more respect there.
True, Kolkata has a Vidyapati Setu(and now Mumbai's Mulund has a Vidyapati Chowk) but Vidyapati was a great on whose name in every city of the country there should have been roads and chowks by this time if proper contribution  of him would have been dessiminated but Kanpur has a raod on the name of Dr. Ramesh Jha  in Kakadeb area- I was his son's guest twice and also once I had inaugurated a medical camp by the NMO at Kakadev organized by Dr. Bajpayee, an orthopedic surgeon at whose house I went so many times in the Ganesh Shankar Vidyarthi Memorial Medical College(GSVMC) Campus- at least one person at Khagaria I found(whom I asked  was you entitled after  the great Ganesh Shankar,Rajkumar Vidyathi, a  senior worker to me in age replied affirmatively).

With Premkantji I had gone to see the place where in 1857 several Indians were tied on tree were shot dead!
We are celebrating 150th year of that First war of Indian Independence. Historian Irfan Habib said few days back around two lakh Indians were brutally killed by civilized(?) British, forgetting all we are trying our next generation be English speaking.
Once famous for textile mills Kanpur perished and once I had a meeting at a dilapidated  staff quarter of it.
Now Kanpur is famous as the city having highest number of TB patients!
I slept afterwards and train too became late and hence, in the morning too I found myself in U.P.
Aligarh was there where when I visited first had seen aboard mentioning the tickets for the stations to Pakistan!(Nowhere in India I had seen in those days when there was neither the  Samjhauta Express nor the  Thar Express!).
At Aligarh though my first acquaintance was  Pramod Arya, (ABVP worker in 1977 who had attended Varanasi's Conference  where I could gather 41 medicos from tent  to  tent to found medico), my relation could be physically possible when I new Dr. Jagadish Prasad Goyal  who had gradually made single-handedly highest number of life members of the NMO in a city and also from a  family of Dr. Singhal where almost all adults seemed to be doctors and  also the life members of the NMO.

Once with Jagadishji I had gone to see the AMU the buildings of which were looked to me as domes of the mosques! There was much hue and cry when court had declared that it was not a minority institute.
But the more interesting thing I would ever remember  for the city in a street  there was a  very fat person running his " Lala Moteramjee ke dahi  ki  dukan…" with a board with this name!


Aligarh is a part of Brajbhumi and Brajasth Maithils have been there who migrated there during Muslim  rule of 14th century from Mithila . They have there dharmshala and all things required for a community and mostly they work for making locks like any ironsmith but they clam to be Brahmins of Mithila which at present is difficult to say for want of Panji.
Once Jagdishji took me to a person  named Pathakji who  happened to be a friend of Kalyan Sinh and was 'guru' of Jagdishji in Sangh work but more interestingly I remember a other person of the same community Pt. Totaram Jha.

The train passed in that early morning one of the most fertile parts of the country – Khurja and then Gazhiabad but train stopping at many small places did not stop there.

I had to go to Viveknagar and one of the passengers  said that there was  a small station of that name in the way but I did not see that and even at Anand Vihar  it did not halt. Now it was Vaishali Superfast and  though I was not  feeling urge to go to toilet due to my regulated water and food(banana) intake there was a pressure of  rush I continuously facing- after all it was a train from Bihar's Mithila ( though the rush was of Bhojpuris in the compartment)  who export maximum number of labourers on which the green revolution was possible in  Punjab and I must  had a booster  of  that experience which in past I had once in Shramjeevi Expresss from Patna and once going to Allahabad in the Prayagraj Express.

The glory of Pryag and Varanasi though in the UP  has  not been described yet as those were not in the route but let me salute Jaykant Mishra's family of Prayagraj who  did  immense contribution to Maithili and Mithila cause.

There I had some  NMO meetings too especially when Indranill Basy  Ray of Kolkata joined  in MD there.
With a senior doctor RC Gupta,I had once gone to the inauguration of the IMA house and had also  addressed there.
With him I had gone to see the martyr place of Chadrashekhar Azad and when the thorny branches of that tree in side of which Azad was martyred, pierced my head and blood oozed out I said," It is  a good salute to Azad!"
I  had not been in Triveni though  crossed the bridge hundreds of time but at Varanasi where as the NMO, a chapter of my life rather new life  of my was written when I was 22 years old,  had visited Baba Vishwanath on few occasions.
BHU did impress me where I could not join despite forms sent by Laxman Shrkrishna Bhide who later became in charge of the Foreign department of the RSS who had  unending affection to me.
During the APICON in 2003  not only had presented my model of medical education which  attracted  media  but also in shivering cold I could do a Pradosh  puja to Lord  Vishwanath after Ganga-snan because my train  for  Dhanbad coming from Ferozpur was over 24 hours late!
Vaishali  Express too was late and I was in panic for the NMO meeting. I  could have get down at  Tilak Bridge was not sure for getting a bus for Vivek Vihar but as soon as I left my seat some other occupied and  I went to toilet which was in fact more comfortable than the  jam-packed compartment!
I got down at new Delhi and took buses to reach Vivek Vihar where  during the NMO meetings talked workers from  many places including Goa and Gujarat.

I found there I have somewhere  missed  my Excel sheets of addresses and phoned Madhubani and Darbhanga, seems I've lost them and later I found  at Bangalore also my small Maithli Panchang.

It was pleasant  to talk the doctors who were present and also who were on phone from outside as well as Delhi- they all were once were close to me and sitting without them was very uncomfortable when some two groups incidentally seating n a same city but ..the law of nature who can change..
"Yato Dharms tato jayah,"  so proclaimed Lord Krishana and also He had said, "You will have to work whether you like or not and work without being attached."
I do not intend to write for Delhi's association with me  in this travelogue but reaching Delhi was not the end.
After medical meeting assembled Maithils- Kripanand, Dr.Rabender  Jha and  Rajesh, son of Dr. Chadrakant Mishra, Darbhanga  and notably Comrade Bhimsingh Maithil from Faridabad with two young workers.

We fixed  up date(12 Aug. 2007) for the next meeting and while entering data of the NEC meeting of the NMO  was talking with Maithili group- the net was there and e-mailing the proceedings to newspapers and groups  and so a  forward of the NMO's resolution to Maithili group later evoked a good discussion on privatization of medical services).
We had condemned Delhi CM,  Shiela Dixit for her anti –Bihar-UP bias which we see here or there (now from Pune such incident of beating Biharis for an All India level Railway Examination).

Why it is so? Because we could not make understand the people of that nation that region and nation are like the parts and body.
Where is the soul of the nation- soul searching  is needed.
When Manish phoned me-I had asked him how you like Gujarat.
"Very bad for Ahmedabad."
"Then you are capable of any all India responsibility- ndia is not India- Ahmedabad."
I know he said so as his  family  resides at Delhi and  the utterance was  a  human reflection to it
Bhimsinghji's friends were advised by Kripanand to learn Maithili.
They wanted a Maithili Brahman Yuva Parishad's simultaneous meeting but I had already written a postcard but not posted which  I gave to Bhimsinghji where I had said such meeting was not possible under the ambit of the AMP which is working irrespective of caste.
Bhimsinghji appreciated  my point and  also Kripanand's point that till you speak Maithili how you can be a Maithil?
AMP would run 10-day course for such  Pravasi Maithils  at Delhi- It may be done at Raipur as well and so  at other places.
Regarding their lost Panjee they should meet Panjikars where the AMP would not be much helpful but  all should come under one umbrella. While taking off from them, I said what I had once written to Bhimsinghjee,
"Work as a Comrade for Mithila cause and as a Maithil for Comrade cause but if there was any confusion in the way, remember  Prathamtah aur antimtah aap maithil Hai,"

And repeating  that I said," We  do not know whether Marxian theory will remain 500 years hence, but even before that we  were Maithils and  would remain 500 years after. It the grace of Mother Seeta where  Vajpayee and Bhogendra Jha- dono ke sar jhuk jate hain."
They were anxious as to my transfer to south had hampered the work but I said them that though  I might have difficulty in familial problems  but it had given me an opportunity to work  Chennai, Tirupati, Hyderabad, Goa, keral etc. which would  not have been possible from Ranchi but finally I may come to live Delhi as I know Delhi is the way to Mithila and Dr.Rajput's house was having an open invitation since long  whose  wife  had already given  a pack for  night tiffin on that Ekadashi  and  as it was  late so my villager Kripanand  somehow could  leave me on his bike at New Delhi station  barely 5 minutes before the schedule time of departure.
Dr. Narendramohan Singh  or Dr. Manish had not come there-though we could have talked for 15 minutes there.
The end-leg of journey was confirmed but my mind  was hovering since the beginning whether Mithila's statehood was  also not Wait Listed 2 (after Telangana ?) and would it remain unconfirmed in my whole  life time or will  it be confirmed after my half life - in the second phase of life- like that of the half journey of beginning, I described?
