The Bizarre World of the Feral Child: What They Reveal About Human Development

The Bizarre World of the Feral Child: What They Reveal About Human Development

Aap kabhi soch paaye hain ki agar ek bachcha jungle mein, jaanwaron ke saath bada ho, toh uski vikas yatra kaise hogi? Feral children, jo ki insani samaj se bilkul alag, akeli aur praniyon ke beech bade hote hain, unke vikas ke raaz ko samajhna ek ajeeb aur rahasyamay safar hai. Yeh bachche, jo aksar insani sampark se door rehte hain, insani vyavhaar aur manovigyaan ke gahan pehlu ko ubharte hain.

The Case of Victor of Aveyron

1789 mein, France ke Aveyron gaon mein ek ajab ghatna ghathit hui. Ek 12 saal ka ladka, jise baad mein "Victor" ke naam se jana gaya, jungle se pakda gaya. Is ladke ka pehla samay insaano ke beech kaisa tha, yeh ek sawaal hai. Jab Victor ko pehli baar dekha gaya, toh woh apne sharir par kachhe kapde pehne hua tha, aur uska vyavhaar bilkul jaanwaron ki tarah tha.

Victor ko samajhne ki koshish ki gayi, lekin usne kabhi bhi insani bhasha nahi seekhi. Iske alawa, usne kuch khaas shabd hi sikhhe, jaise "mama" aur "papa". Is ghatna ne samajh ko yeh sochne par majboor kar diya ki kya humara vyavhaar aur bhasha sirf samaj mein rehne se hi viksit hota hai?

The Girl in the Window: Kamala and Amala

1940s mein, India ke Midnapore mein, do behnein Kamala aur Amala, ek aise ghatna ka hissa bani jo aaj bhi charcha ka vishay hai. Yeh dono bachche, jo ek parivar ke saath rahte the, par kabhi bhi insaano ke sampark mein nahi aayi thi. Jab inhe pakda gaya, toh yeh bilkul praniyon ki tarah jeeti thi, katraate hue, aur unke vyavhaar mein koi insani samvedana nahi thi.

Unhe jab insani sampark mein laaya gaya, tab unka vyavar bilkul alag tha. Ek samay mein, dono behnein insani bhasha seekhne ki koshish karti, lekin unka vyavhaar ab bhi jaanwaron ki tarah tha. Kamala ne kuch samay baad bhasha sikh li, lekin Amala ne kabhi nahi seekha.

Psychological Implications

Feral children ke vikas par hone wale prabhav ko samajhne ke liye, humein yeh samajhna hoga ki insani sampark ka kya mahatva hai. Yeh bachche hamesha kisi bhi samajik vyavhaar se door rahte hain, jo unhe ek alag manodasha ki taraf le jaata hai. Unki vikas yatra se yeh pata chalta hai ki insani bhasha aur samvedana ka vikas kis prakar hota hai.

Psychologists, jaise ki Jean Piaget, ne is par research kiya aur yeh dekha ki insani vyavhaar ka vikas sirf samajik interakshan se hota hai. Feral children jise aap samajh sakte hain, unka vyavhaar unke bina kisi sampark ke kaisa hota hai, yeh samajhne se hum insani manovigyaan ke gahan pehlu ko jaan sakte hain.

The Dark Side: Neglect and Abuse

Feral children ki kahaniyan hamesha sirf vikas aur manovigyaan tak seemit nahi hoti. Inke peeche ek andheri kahani bhi hoti hai. Kai baar, yeh bachche neglect ya abuse ka shikaar hote hain, jo unki vyavhaar aur manovigyaan par gehra asar dalta hai.

Ek aur example hai, 1970s mein Germany ke ek gaon se, jahan ek ladka, jise "The Wolf Boy" ke roop mein jaana gaya, paaya gaya. Usne kabhi bhi kisi insani vyakti ke saath sampark nahi kiya, aur uska vyavhaar bilkul praniyon ki tarah tha. Is bachche ki kahani se yeh pata chalta hai ki samajik isolation kitna khatarnaak ho sakta hai, aur yeh kis prakar ek vyakti ko samaj se alag kar sakta hai.

Conclusion: Lessons from the Wild

Feral children ka gyaan humare liye ek anokha darwaza kholta hai, jahan hum insani vyavhaar ki jadh tak ja sakte hain. Yeh bachche, jo samaj se alag bade hote hain, dikhate hain ki insani sampark, bhasha, aur samvedana ka vikas kis tarah hota hai.

In kahaniyon ke madhyam se, humein samajh aata hai ki kya hota hai jab insani samaj ka ek hissa kisi bhi tarah se alag ho jaata hai. Feral children nahi sirf insani vikas ki wajah samajhte hain, balki yeh bhi dikhate hain ki insani sampark ki kami kis prakar vyakti ko prabhavit kar sakti hai. Isliye, yeh kahaniyan na sirf adbhut hain, balki humein samajik aur manovigyaan ki gehraiyon tak bhi le jaati hain.
