[दीवान]Fwd: Police confiscating copies of FORWARD Press

[Abhay Tiwari]

बिटवीन द लाइन्स पढ़ने की इस अद्भुत, अलौकिक तर्क पद्धति का आश्रय लेकर कुछ भी
असम्भव नहीं रह जाता। जय हो वैज्ञानिक भौतिकवाद की! इस तर्क पद्धति के
कीर्तिध्वज के नीचे कुछ भी अप्राप्य नहीं रह गया और विज्ञान ने भी यदि इस महान
विधि का आश्रय ले लिया तो सम्भव और असम्भव के लौकिक भेद समाप्त हो जाएंगे।
अचरज तब होता है कि प्रतिष्ठित संस्थानों के सम्मानित विद्यार्थी और
प्राध्यापक भी इस पद्धति का अनुमोदन करते हुए नज़र आते हैं। अगर यही मानक है
उनके शोध विधान का, तो कोई हैरत नहीं कि भारत के शिक्षा संस्थानों में एक भी
सच्चा शोध प्रबंध नहीं निकल कर आता।

ये कौन सी अनुसंधान विधि है जिसमें शोधकर्ता अपनी प्रमेय को सिद्ध करने के लिए
एक तथ्य तो मूल स्रोत से लेते हैं और जो तथ्य अरुचिकर मालूम दे उसे विरोधियों
की दुष्ट मनोवृत्ति के अन्तर्गत गढ़ा गया एक झूठ मानकर निरस्त कर देते हैं और
स्वकल्पति, निराधार, प्रमाणहीन बातों को तथ्य की तरह बनाकर मनचाहा निष्कर्ष
बना लेते हैं? अगर इसे पूर्वाग्रह न माना जाय तो क्या माना जाय?  अगर यह कुपाठ
नहीं तो कुपाठ किसे कहते हैं?
