Chifananidzo chaMambo Vajiravudh paLumphini Park muBangkok
Pakafa Mambo Chulalongkorn muna 1910 mushure mekutonga kwemakore makumi mana nemaviri, mwanakomana wake mukuru, Muchinda ane makore makumi maviri nemapfumbamwe. Vajiravudh, mutsivi wake asingarambiki.
Muchinda akange adzidza muEngland: kudzidziswa zvechiuto kuSandhurst, mutemo uye nhoroondo kuOxford. Akauya nemukwende uyu wemweya kubva kuEurope Siam. Samambo, akatora humambo hwakakwana, umo mauto nehutungamiri hwehurumende hwakanga huchidzorwa nenhengo dzevakawanda kwazvo (mambo wemushakabvu aive nevana makumi manomwe nevanomwe!) mhuri yehumambo.
Makore maviri mushure mekugadzwa kwake, Vajiravudh akatarisana nekurangana: boka revakuru vechidiki vaive nemafungiro pamusoro pehumambo hwebumbiro uye zvimwe nezve republic. Boka racho rakaunganidzwa uye ngozi yakanga yapera. Mambo wacho aidavira kuti Siam yakanga isati yagadzirira kuchinja gadziriro yayo yehurumende kubva pautongi hwakakwana kuenda kuumambo hwebumbiro remitemo, tisingatauri hedu kuti republic! Zvisinei, akaziva kuti zvakanga zviri mufaro yenyika kuderedza kupesvedzera kwoga, kunobva mudzinza remachinda uye kupa mukana wakawanda kutsika dzepamusoro.
Nemhaka yokuti aida kuedza mamwe marudzi ehurumende, mambo akatanga rudzi rwenzvimbo yokuedza kuzvitonga muna 1918: Dusit Thani, Guta roKudenga. Iri guta diki rakafukidza inenge hafu yehekita mumagadheni emuzinda uye raisanganisira marudzi ese ezvivakwa pamwero diki (1:15): dzimba dzevanhu, dzimba dzehumambo, temberi uye zviyeuchidzo, wachi, zvivakwa zvehurumende, mabharaki, zvitoro, zvipatara, hotera, bhangi, nzizi nemigero. Paivawo nemapaki ane matsime nemapopoma, chiteshi chemoto uye kambani yemagetsi. Mambo akangonyora bumbiro remutemo reguta ari ega. Yaiva nemazana maviri evagari vemo, vaifanira kuzvisarudzira hurumende yavo. Mambo akatanga mapato maviri ezvematongerwo enyika: Blues and the Reds, uye aida kutorwa semugari wemo sevamwe vagari vese.
Kuti izvi zviitike akazvinyoresa pasi pezita rokuti Nai Ram na Krungthep, segweta. Dusit Thani aivewo nemapepanhau maviri ezuva nezuva pamwe nemagazini yevhiki uye aya mapepa ainyanya kufarirwa naNai Ram sezvo ainzwa kuti mwero wekutapa nhau weThai kazhinji waida kuvandudzwa.
Chinangwa cheDusit Thani chaive chekuratidza mashandiro ehurumende yegutsaruzhinji. Kuti izvi zviitike, sarudzo dzaiitwa nguva dzose: mumakore maviri ekutanga eDusit Thani kunyange kanomwe. Izvi zvinoratidzika zvishoma munguva pfupi, asi mambo akanga auya nemhinduro yakanaka kwazvo: kwete chete nzvimbo muDusit Thani yakaderedzwa, asiwo nguva! Nguva mubindu rekuedza yakaderedzwa kusvika pachiyero che1:12. Izvi zvaireva kuti mwedzi muDusit Thani waimirira gore rose, uye zuva ikoko raimirira mazuva gumi nemaviri. Saka sarudzo nomwe dzakaitwa kwete mumaviri asi mumakore makumi maviri nemana, zvinova zvakajairika.
Mambo Vajiravudh
Iwo mubvunzo unonakidza kwazvo: ichokwadi here kuti kana iwe ukadzikisa nzvimbo, nguva zvakare inova diki, ndiko kuti, inoenda nekukurumidza? Kana kuti nguva inorebesa uye ichinonoka here? Kana kuti hapana kubatana uye hazvina basa? Vanhu vari mudzimba diki vanorarama nekukurumidza kudarika vari mudzimba huru here? Ko nguva inopfuura nekukurumidza muMadurodam kupfuura muAmsterdam? Ko zvisikwa zviduku, zvakadai senhunzi dzemichero nemakonzo, zvinorarama nokukurumidza zvikuru kupfuura zvihombe, zvakadai senzou nehove here? Kazhinji, kukura kwechinhu chipenyu, ndiko kurarama kwenguva refu, asi izvozvo hazvitauri chinhu pamusoro pekumhanya kwachinorarama. Ngatiregei kunzwa subjective pamusoro pazvo. Ko mbeva ingafunga kuti inorarama nokukurumidza here, nzou kuti inorarama zvishoma nezvishoma? Nguva inofamba nekukurumidza here kana kuti zvishoma nezvishoma kune mayfly? 'Pandakazvarwa zuva raivepo, zvino ndachembera zuva riripo. Hapana chimwe chakaitika muupenyu hwangu!'
Nyaya inonakidza! Ndakatarisa muchidimbu basa rakajairwa munzvimbo ino, iro Gulliver's Travels naJonathan Swift, asi izvo hazvitauri kuti nguva yevadiki muLilliput yaizova nekumhanya kwakasiyana pane iyo yehofori muBrobdingnag. Kunyangwe naEinstein, chiremera chisina kupokana mumunda wenguva yakatarwa, ini handisi akachenjera pane izvi. Akaita marudzi ese ekuedza kufunga, asi kwete nezvechadenga chakadzikiswa zvakanyanya kana chakakurisa uye chinzvimbo chenguva machiri.
Ini ndinongoti mambo akawedzera nguva kuitira kuti agone kuita sarudzo murabhoritari yake, mubiki wake wekumanikidza wedemocracy, uye chokwadi aive chokwadi nezvazvo. Sarudzo idzi dzaigaro kuhwinwa nemukwikwidzi Nai Ram na Krungthep, nekuti raive bhiriji redemokrasi kure kure kuti vaSiamese vaunze mumwe munhu pachigaro kuburikidza nebhokisi rekuvhota.
Mambo akafa muna 1924, ane makore makumi mana nemana chete. Dusit Thani yakabviswa mushure mekufa kwake uye yakanyangarika kubva pachiso chenyika. Mutsivi wake, munin'ina wake Prajadhipok, akamanikidzwa kubvuma bumbiro mukupidigura kusiri kwechisimba neboka remasoja nevanhuwo zvavo musi waChikumi 24, 1932, vachipedza mazana manomwe emakore ehumambo hwakakwana muSiam.
Asi iyo inyaya yakasiyana zvachose ...
'Nzvimbo yokuedza yedemocracy' iyoyo yakanga iri toyi inonakidza. Mune zvimwe zvakawanda zvinyorwa zvakasiiwa naRama VI, haana kusiya kupokana kuti humambo hwakakwana (mambo sa 'baba' uye vanotongwa se 'vana') ndiyo yega nzira yehurumende yeThailand.
Ndinogara ndichida kuziva kuti mazita iwayo anorevei. Mazita anenge agara ane zvaanoreva muThai, kazhinji eSanskrit mabviro. ดุสิตธานี kana Dusit Thani (doesit thaanie: tones low low middle middle) zvinoreva 'Guta reKudenga'. Thani iguta rakaita seUdorn Thani uye Surat Thani, Dusit ndiro (rechina) denga.
