Summary: The Enemy Class 12 Important Questions
कहानी “The Enemy” मानवता, करुणा, कर्तव्य और देशभक्ति के बीच के संघर्ष को दर्शाती है। यह कहानी बताती है कि युद्ध और राष्ट्र से ऊपर इंसानियत और नैतिकता होती है।
कहानी का मुख्य पात्र डॉ. सादा (Dr. Sadao) एक प्रसिद्ध जापानी सर्जन है, जिसने अमेरिका में शिक्षा प्राप्त की है। वह समुद्र के किनारे एक ऊँची पहाड़ी पर बने अपने घर में अपनी पत्नी हाना के साथ रहता है। उसके घर में एक बूढ़ा माली और एक नौकरानी यूमी (Yumi) काम करते हैं।
एक दिन डॉ. सादा और हाना समुद्र तट पर टहलते हुए एक गंभीर रूप से घायल अमेरिकी सैनिक को देखते हैं, जो समुद्र के सहारे बहकर वहाँ आ पहुँचा होता है। उसके शरीर में गोली फँसी होती है और वह लगभग बेहोश होता है। डॉ. सादा समझ जाता है कि वह जापान का दुश्मन है।
डॉ. सादा के मन में गहरा द्वंद्व शुरू हो जाता है — एक ओर उसका देश के प्रति कर्तव्य, दूसरी ओर उसका डॉक्टर होने का धर्म। अंततः वह मानवता को सर्वोपरि मानकर उसे घर ले आता है।
डॉ. सादा उसका ऑपरेशन करके गोली निकालता है और उसकी जान बचा लेता है। हाना उसकी सेवा करती है, लेकिन यूमी और बूढ़ा माली इसे देशद्रोह मानते हैं और दुश्मन की सेवा करने से मना कर देते हैं। कुछ समय बाद वे दोनों घर छोड़कर चले जाते हैं।
डॉ. सादा इस बात की सूचना उस जापानी जनरल को देता है जिसका वह इलाज करता है। जनरल वादा करता है कि वह अपने गुप्त सैनिकों से रात में उस कैदी को पकड़वा लेगा। लेकिन कई रातें बीत जाने पर भी कोई नहीं आता।
जब डॉ. सादा जनरल से इस बारे में पूछता है, तो जनरल आश्चर्य से कहता है कि वह बहुत कष्ट में था और अपने सिवा कुछ नहीं सोच सका, इसलिए वह अपना वादा भूल गया। इस पर डॉ. सादा विनम्र लेकिन व्यंग्यपूर्ण ढंग से कहता है —
“I wondered, Your Excellency.”
यानी उसे पहले से ही शक था कि जनरल ने अपना वादा नहीं निभाया है।
इधर, अमेरिकी सैनिक धीरे-धीरे ठीक होने लगता है। डॉ. सादा समझ जाता है कि अब उसे खुद ही कोई निर्णय लेना होगा, वरना वह और उसका परिवार खतरे में पड़ सकते हैं।
अंततः डॉ. सादा साहसिक और मानवीय निर्णय लेता है। वह उस सैनिक को नाव, खाना, टॉर्च और दिशा बताकर भाग जाने में मदद करता है ताकि वह सुरक्षित अपने देश लौट सके।
जब वह सैनिक चला जाता है, तब डॉ. सादा के मन में एक गहरा विचार आता है:
“Strange… I wonder why I could not kill him?”
“अजीब है… मैं उसे मार क्यों नहीं सका?”
यह विचार यह स्पष्ट करता है कि वह उसे मार सकता था, फिर भी उसके भीतर की मानवता और डॉक्टर का धर्म उसे ऐसा करने से रोक गया। उसके लिए वह अब केवल दुश्मन नहीं, बल्कि एक इंसान बन चुका था।
