यदि भारत के रंगों को एक दिन में चरम पर देखना हो, तो वह दिन होली का है। फागुन का यह पर्व केवल रंगों का उत्सव नहीं; यह भारत की सामूहिक चेतना का वार्षिक विस्फोट है। Mark Twain ने भारत को “bewitching colour” अकारण ही नहीं कहा था — सम्मोहक रंगों का देश। सचमुच, यहाँ हल्दी का पीत है, केसर का तेज है, पलाश की अग्निContinue reading “राधा का रंग ही राष्ट्र का रंग है”
