Parichay
Duniya bhar ke itihasik aur dharmik grontho me kaafi aise naam milte hain jo samay ke saath ya to badal gaye hain ya phir unka sahi sthaan logon ke beech ek rahasya ban chuka hai. Aise hi do naam hain – Meshech aur Kedar. Yeh dono naam Vishesh roop se Biblical aur Islamic texts me milte hain. Meshech ka ullekh Bible ke Purane Niyam (Old Testament) me hota hai, jabki Kedar ka zikr Quran aur Bible dono me kiya gaya hai.
Lekin bada prashn yeh uthta hai ki Meshech aur Kedar aakhir hain kahan? Kya yeh kahin ghum ho chuke hain ya inka ab bhi koi bhaugolik astitva hai? Aaiye, itihaas aur bhaugolik drishti se is vishay ko gaharai se samajhne ka prayas karte hain.
Meshech Kahan Hai?
Meshech Ka Biblic Itihaasik Mahatva
Meshech ka ullekh Bible ke Anubhav Granth (Genesis 10:2) me hota hai, jisme ise Nooh (Noah) ke putra Yafet (Japheth) ke vanshaj ke roop me bataya gaya hai. Meshech ka zikr Yajooj aur Majooj (Gog and Magog) se bhi kiya jata hai, jo ant samay me ek mahan yudh se jude hue hain.
Purane yug me Meshech ek jaati (tribe) ya ek desh ka sanket karta tha. Kai itihaaskar maante hain ki Meshech ki sambhavit sthiti Anatolia (Aaj ka Turkey) ke andar thi. Yeh Black Sea ke paas kisi jagah sthit ho sakta hai.
Meshech Aur Greek Yug
Greek itihaasik lekhon me Meshech ko “Mushki” ya “Mushku” naam se jaana jata tha. Yeh ek Luviyan (Luwian) ya Phrygian tribe thi jo Anatolia ke phadi ilaake me basi hui thi. Yeh log 8th aur 7th shatabdi BCE me Assyrian samrajya ke virudh lad chuke hain.
Meshech Aur Russia
Kai logon ka kehna hai ki Bible ka Meshech aaj ke Russia se juda hai. Yeh dharna kai tarike se aayi hai, kyonki Russia ke kai prachin shahar jaise ki Moscow ko Meshech se joda jata hai. Lekin itihaasik roop se iska koi spasht saboot nahi hai.
Aaj Ka Meshech Kahan Ho Sakta Hai?
Agar itihaasik aur bhaugolik jaankari ko dekhein to Meshech ki sambhavit sthiti Turkiye ke Anatolia pradesh (Black Sea ke paas), Armenia, ya Georgia ke andar ho sakti hai. Yeh ek purani jaati thi jo kai yugon tak wahan basi rahi thi.
Kedar Kahan Hai?
Kedar Ka Dharmik Mahatva
Kedar ka ullekh Bible aur Quran dono me hota hai. Yeh naam Hazrat Ismail (Ishmael) ke vanshajon se juda hua hai. Bible ke Bhajan Sangrah (Psalms 120:5) aur Isaiah 21:16-17 me Kedar ka zikr aaya hai, jo ek ghode savar yoddha jaati thi.
Quran me bhi Ismail ki santan ka zikr milta hai, aur kai Islamic itihaaskar Kedar ko Arab jaati ka mool maante hain.
Kedar Ki Bhaugolik Sthiti
Kedar ek prachin Bedouin (nomadic) samuday tha jo Arab bhumipradeh me vishesh roop se Saudi Arabia ke uttar aur Jordan ke ilaake me basa tha. Yeh log Reghistan aur Marusthal me bhatakne wale log the jo apne oonth aur bhede palte the.
Itihasik roop se dekha jaye to Kedar ke log Nabataean aur Edomites ke saath jude hue the, jo aaj ke Jordan, Saudi Arabia, aur Israel me base the.
Kedar Aur Makkah Ka Sambandh
Kedar ka sambandh Makkah se bhi joda jata hai. Kai itihaaskar maante hain ki Hazrat Muhammad (PBUH) Kedar ke vanshaj the, jo ki Ismail ki santan me se aate hain.
Aaj Ka Kedar Kahan Hai?
Aaj bhi kai Bedouin jaatiyan Jordan, Saudi Arabia, aur Syria ke registan ilaake me basi hui hain jo Kedar ki yaad dilati hain. Iska itihaas Makkah aur Arabian Peninsula ke itihaas se juda hai.
Meshech Aur Kedar Ka Aaj Ke Yug Me Mahatva
- Meshech ek prachin Anatolian samuday tha jo Turkiye, Armenia, ya Georgia ke aaspaas tha. Aaj iska naam khatam ho gaya hai, lekin iska itihaas Russia se bhi juda dikhaya jata hai.
- Kedar ek prachin Bedouin jaati thi jo Arabian Desert, Jordan, aur Saudi Arabia me basi thi. Yeh Hazrat Ismail ke vanshajon se judi hai aur iska sambandh Makkah se maana jata hai.
Dono jaatiyan itihaas me mahatvapurn sthaan rakhti hain, lekin aaj unka naam alag-alag desho aur jaatiyon me vikrit roop le chuka hai.
Nishkarsh
Meshech aur Kedar dono itihaasik jaatiyan thi jo alag-alag sthanon me basi thi. Meshech ko Anatolia ya Russia se joda jata hai, jabki Kedar ka sambandh Arab aur Makkah se hai. Yeh dono naam itihaas, dharm aur bhaugolik adhyayan ke liye mahatvapurn hain.
Aaj ke samay me Meshech ka naam itihaas ke panno me kho gaya hai, jabki Kedar ka itihaas Arab Bedouin samuday me aaj bhi dekhne ko milta hai.
