अब फिर युद्ध,
अब फिर जागेगा जज्बा देश भक्ति का
अब फिर कफ़न ख़रीदे जायेंगे।
काफिलों की आरती होगी, पर धुंए का साया होगा,
कुमकुम के टीके होंगे, खून पर जाया होगा।
फिल्मो में सैनिक गीत गायेंगे,
मैदानों में गिद्ध जश्न मनाएंगे।
लता का गाना हर बैठक बजेगा,
मेडल से आँचल, फूलों से इंडिया गेट सजेगा।
माँ को होगा इन्तजार पदचापों का, बेटा तिरंगे में लेटा होगा,
गली गली अब चंदा होगा, उसमे भी गौरख धंदा होगा।
लहरों और हवाओं पे लाली होगी,
चेहरे पे सफेदी, आँखों में पानी होगा।
बन्दूक से निकली हर गोली गरीब की रोटी होगी,
रानी बिटिया भूखी सोती होगी।
सुन मेरे दोस्त, सुन मेरे भाई,
सरहद के उस पार, उसका भी कोई रोता होगा।

BOOK REVIEW: The Concept of Law by H L A Hart
"I write this review from the view point of a lay reader generally interested in law, justice and political philosophy.
I found this book very lucid, well organized and comprehensive. Hart presents concept of a law in a descriptive manner as it is generally practiced. He develops the concept with comparing and differentiating it from commands and orders. He then traces its development from simple primitive societies to the complex realities of our times. He proposes that laws are union of,i) rules which govern individual behaviour and: ii) rules for making such rules.
He also discusses relationship of law with morals and cocerns of substantive versus formal justice in a legal system.
The book acknowledges prevalence of various conceptions of law in different societies but does not make any value judgement about them.
This edition contains a post script in which Hart has replied to his critics. I found this portion rather technical and think that it can be safely skipped by a general reader.
I recommend this book to any one interested in understanding cotemporary concept of law and legal system."
