                       Only the man in the moon watches

                        If the little babies are sleeping

                     Thus, sleep you too ………

The lullaby is symbolic one and there is hidden message of competition that you also sleep because other babies have already slept.

                           Lullaby, Lullaby, my lovely one…

                          Sleep in moonlight’s silvery dreams…

                         The moon roams across the sky

                               All through night………..

                             While the moon her watch is keeping

                            All through night ………..

 In this lullaby, the description of moon is different than other country’s lullabies

                                        Moon in Dutch Lullaby

                                 A sorrowful sad little girl sat down

                                A field mouse found a nutshell….

                               Daantje had to go to school

                             Look, the moon peeps and spies.

(Translation by R van Leeuwen).

                         The above lullabies of various countries explain that moon had been very important subject in children literature specially lullabies in all countries and regions. The folk Lullabies also illustrate the characters of the society which creates them.

    Analysis of Garhwali Counting –Out Folk Songs and Counting –Out Children songs of other languages

                                         

                                                 Bhishma Kukreti

                      Counting teaching by society has been taking place from centuries ago.  The following major aspects are important to discuss the uniqueness of children counting song of any language or region.

1- People learn through observations

             Psychologists as Albert Bandura observed through their researches that child or people learn many aspects through observations. Bandura identified following three models of learning through observations

1A-The live model acts as influencing learning

1B- A verbal instruction model (explanations and description)

1C- a symboli model as icon, characters in books, films etc

2- Mental factors are important too as pride, satisfaction and sense of achievement

3- It is not necessary that learning changes behaviour

4a- Not all observed are affectively learned

4b--Learning requires attention

4c-Learning requires retention

5-Learning also requires motivation

Learning Counting through Songs and Aspects of ‘Numerical Mechanism and children Concept of Counting’

                Scientists, psychologists, sociologists and educationists discovered many findings about counting in relation to children. These findings are very important in judging the importance of songs related to teaching counting to children. Some relevant observations about numerical mechanism and children concept of counting are as:

1-Mramasse et all state that as like animals, children are quite accurate about small numbers and can compute approximately the large numbers

2- Starkley et all (1983) found that the infants of 4 to 7 .5 months old child can discriminate two items from three items but not 4 items from 6 items.

3-Strauss and Curtis (1981) found that 10-12 months old infants can discriminate 3 from 4 items and sometimes 4 from 5 items. However, it is not clear tha infants know 2 is higher than 1

4- In Garhwali, Kumauni (Indian), Chinese languages, the teaching of numbers were grouped in either ten or twenty. For example, in ancient Garhwal and Kumaun (India (before 1947 or when  education was sin scarcity) , the numbers were spoken in terms of twenty as 58 =two twenty and eighteen (dwee beesi ar sattara)

5 Counting principles: Gelman and Galistel (1978) briefed about five counting principle of learning

5a- One-to-One theory: The theory stresses the significance of assigning only one counting tag to each counted arrangement

5b-The Stable order theory: Counting occupies more than the ability to allot arbitrary tags to iems in array.

5c-The cardinal theory: The theory reproduces the child’s understanding that the last number word of an arrangement of counted items has a particular meaning: it signifies the set as a whole and the numerosity of this set of articles.

5d-The abstraction theory: The realization is reflected what is counted. it is found that the 2-3 years old infants can count mixed sets of objects

5e-The order-irrelevance theory: the child has to learn that the order of enumeration is irrelevant

6 -Early Arithmetical Skills 

           Starkey (1992) showed that very young children could represent numerical quantities without the use of language.

7-Arithmatical development: The child learns the culture’s numbers words and associates these words with sets of objects as - five for all fingers

                                 Counting-Out Children Songs of United Kingdom

  There are tens of children songs helping children to learn counting in United Kingdom. One example is as:

                                   “One, two, buckle my shoe,
                               three, four, open the door,
                               five, six, pick-up sticks,
                              seven, eight, lay them straight
                                nine, ten, the big fat hen,
                             eleven, twelve, dig and delve,
                              thirteen, fourteen, maids a-courting,
                              fifteen, sixteen, maids in the kitchen,
                               seventeen, eighteen, ladies waiting,
                               nineteen, twenty, my plate's empty.”

                                  French Counting-Out Children Song

                                                       Pimpanicaille

                                      Pimpanicille , el roi des papillions

                                      Se faisant la barbe s’est coupe le menton       

                                         Un deux trios de bois

                                            Quatre cinq six de bois

                                              Sept huit neuf de boef

                                             Dix onze douze de bouse

                                           Va- t-en a tooulouse         

  The children counting songs of America, Italy, China and in other countries are in the above pattern         

  1- After studying the psychological points cited the above, it may be said that though the song creators were not psychologists but they took care about the nature of human beings ability to learn counting

2- In all songs including Garhwali (Indian) folk song, the objectives are fit with the song that children associate the known objective with the numbers     

3-Tthe song creators were aware about importance of attention of child and then retention by the child aspects in learning counting 

4-  The words in children counting-out songs are simple and kept to create poetic rapture that children repeat the songs within groups or individually.   

   The above analysis and psychological aspects described in this write up confirms that the Garhwali Children Counting-Out  Folk Songs   are perfetc songs for learning numbers by children.

            Bhukki Rai Gyaun Bwali : A Representative  Garhwali Children’s Folk Poetic Drama

 

                                               Bhishma Kukreti

(Garhwali Children’s Folk Songs, Uttarakhandi Children’s Folk Rhymes, Himalayan Children’s Folk Poetry)

          While classifying Garhwali children’s folk songs,   Dr Nand Kishor Dhoundiyal and Dr Manorama Dhoundiyal placed children’s folk poetic dramas under the division of amusing and Entertaining Garhwali Children’s Folk song. However, this write is witness that children of Garhwal play folk poetic drama very frequently in ‘Gor ma ‘(while grazing the animals in grassland), in ‘Goth Jagwalan ‘ (while watching the animals at Goth), Geetun Maina (at the month of songs and dances)  or at any free time. The author can say that the critics of Garhwali folk literature for children should  place ‘Children’s folk poetic drama’ place with separate heading.

  There are many types of folk poetic dramas played by children in Garhwal.

 1- Mixed : Where the children choose various songs and sing as part of drama. In this genre , the children first decide who will sing which song. Usually the old aged children are expert to adjust the songs that a story is built in the dram. For example, one child will play the role of teacher and other children will play the roles of students, then the teacher will ask questions as alphabets, counting etc in poetic language (created by them) and other children will sing the related poetries. In between the teacher will act teacher and may show mistakes or may insult the singers. Or the children would play drama of a family and then they sing various songs related to family.

2- Exclusive subject: the children sing exclusive poetic drama song and play drama accordingly.

  The following Garhwali (Indian) -children’ folk poetic drama is one act and least time consuming drama. The dram could be played among  two children or many children

                 भुक्की रै ग्यों  ब्याळी :जहां  गढ़वाली बालनाट्य गीत चलता है , नाचता है... ..

                    फिर भी करदो आळी जाळी       Even then unsatisfied and ran here and there

                     भुक्की रै ग्यों ब्याळी            Still I was  Hungary yesterday

                   पधनुं करों की स्याळी               Sister in law of Padhan brought swala yesterday

                    नौ मण झंग्वर  खै ग्यों               Ate nine tons Jhangora (millets)

                    सौ मण खिचड़ो खैने              Ate hundred tons Khichdi

                     ल़ूण राळी राळी                     Mixed all with salt

                     फिर भी  भुक्की रै ग्यों ब्याळी     Even then I was hundry yesterday

                     पधनुं करों की स्याळी           Sister in law of Padhan braught swala

( Reference : Dr Nand Kishor Dhoundiyal Dr Manorama Dhoundiyal Garhwali lok Balgeet)

 

               The above folk poetic is a humorous drama. There is high degree of exaggeration in the drama that even after eating tons of food, the person was hungry. The phrases create smile in the face of players or audience. The players enjoy the song by singing, dancing as per their pre arrangement. The players do performance as per their choices or pre arrangement.  The act may be free for all to act or the children may decide how to act and who will do the acting to show the main character’s characteristics. The song explains various types of food, various types of igs available in Garhwal too. The phrases are used known phrases which do not need to explain story in details but the audience would understand the story. As ‘ Pahanu ki bwari layee’ is understood that she came from her mother’s house and would brought ‘arsa, swala’ etc. An dpadhan distributed the same among villagers

             This author is witness such types of exaggerated poetic drama where paradox is main theme to create laughter rapture. In many  songs, sharp satire is also found.

 This author is witness of a parody drama played in ‘Gor ma’. The play was based on Ramayana and the dialogues of main characters were changed, Ram said the dialogues of Ravan, Rawan said the dialogues of Rama and Sita said the dialogues of Mandodary . The changeover of dialogues by well known characters of Ramayana created laughter and awkwardness too

  The above drama is the proof that the folk literature creators were experts of understanding the dramatic situation and importance of basics of poetry. It may be said that ‘Bhukki rai gyaun  bwali ‘ drama sings, walks, dances and simultaneously,  definitely amuses the players and audience together.

Teasing and Taunting Garhwali Children’s Folk Songs
                                                Bhishma Kukreti

                The free online dictionary defines the act of teasing as ‘annoying, pestering, vexing’, ‘making fun of other’ or ‘mocking playfully’,

                 The free online dictionary defines ‘taunt’ as ‘to reproach in a mocking, insulting, contemptuous manner’.

  Teasing is verbal or bullying form of taunting.

                       From children song point of view, the teasing has two main forms

1- Hurtful teasing children’s folk songs: In Garhwali language, the hurtful songs are related to individuals and social groups. Mostly, individual hurtful folk songs are created by individuals spontaneously and not heard by society and social hurtful songs created for teasing a classes or casts, villages, regions etc. As in past before British regime, there were songs for teasing Kumauni community at the time of Bhailu festival. No doubt that these types of songs were created for adults and children used to sing to as amusing songs too. There were songs to tease a family or caste and children used to sing those songs.  There were proverbs which were sung against regions as Pauri Garhwalis used to sing hurtful songs against Tihri Garhwalis and vice versa. Now a days, the custom is diminishing for creating hurtful folk songs aimed at caste, regions etc

  It is seen that hurtful folk songs do not survive for long as the songs are not sung openly and when songs are not sung openly the songs are not carried generation to generation.

                              2-Playful Teasing children’s songs

      The purpose of playful teasing song is to get amusement. Many times, there is no difference between teasing  playful children songs and  playful adult songs as the teasing wedding songs are also sung by children while playing wedding drama in their free time.  There are folk songs for teasing other village or territories sung by adults and children too without any difficulties.

                    For example, a song of village Jaspur (Malla Dhangu, Pauri Garhwal) which make mockery of other villagers of the region as Gweel, ( Dhangu, PG) Amaldu and Jalth( Dabralsyun, Pauri garhwal) used to be sung by adults and children in the Geetun Maina (month of songs and dance). The song is about showing characteristics of individual villagers as

                         Gweel kaunki dhoti lambi  ( the dhotis of villagers of Gweel is long )

                      Jalth kauniki dhoti badi ( the dhotis of Jalth villagers is big)

                     Amaldu kaunka raudya bad ( White spot on forehead of Amaldu is big. In fact the Pundits of amauldu used to paste chandan on their forehead)

                The playful teasing children folk songs could be classified as per following situations

A- Intention of the teasers

B-Mocking bad habits or unusual customs

C-Making funs of name

D- Making funs of other villages or regions

E- Just to sing playful songs sung by villagers or social groups together

F- Making fun of birds and animals.

      The following song is a song of mocking a lazy person and became poor due to his inactivity. Dr Dhoundiyal states that usually , this song  is used to teas other child by putting child’s father name instead of Sundaru. 

 

                                                                सुंदरु क हालात

                                                  सुंदरु तेरा नौना क्य छन ?

                                                     बारा बीसी नौ

                                                    सुंदरु तू  खांदी क्य छै ?

                                                     मांगि मांगि क जौ

                                                      सुंदरु तेरो लैन्दो क्य च ?

                                                     एक डूंडी गौ

                                                     सुंदरु तेरा भांडा क्य छन ?

                                                     एक टुट्यु  तवा

                                                    सुंदरु त्यारा लारा क्य छन ?

                                                     अंग्वछा को छौं

                                                     सुंदरु तू रौंदू कख छै

                                                         झुपडा तौळ

                                                       सुंदरु कुछ काज कौर

                                                       धार जांदी मौ

 The children create songs by using Bajuband technique – first stanza without meaning and second stanza with real meaning as in the following song the children of other villages tease the villagers of Raneth who are by class ‘Dallya’  and they blow ash into sky while doing Tantrik pefromances.

     

                                          बड़थ्वालुं क  गौं बड़ेथ  (   Barthwals live in Bareth )

                                       उबफुक्वों क गौं  रणेथ  (Magicians or Tantrik (Dallya ) live in Raneth

 There is another classical example of showing characteristics of three  villages together but may be said as teasing folk song too

                                  पाली का उन्द्फुक्वा

                                 ठंठोली का अदबिचका

                               रणेथ का उबफुक्वा

 

                                        Paali ka undfukwaa 

                                       Thantholi ka adhbichhak

                                        Raneth ka ubfukwa

 There are three villages in malla Dhangu – Pali where goldsmith live, Raneth where Dally live and in between two villages, Thantholi village is situated. Since gold smith acts require to blow pipe towards earth the inhabitants of  Pali  are  called Undfukwa (who blow pipe towards earth) and the inhabitants of Ranesth are called Ubfukwa (to blow towards sky or above )

                    There is another teasing or amusing song in Garhwali which the author also sung many times. The song is amusing but if analyzed, the song is for teasing the teacher as

                           

                                   

                  मास्टर जी कि टंगडि  टुट्टी The teacher’s leg got fractured

             दणमण बाजि घंटी           The bell rang

                        द ल़े  ह्व़े गे छुट्टी           We got leave

               There are many proverbs transformed by children and sung as rhymes too to use teasing songs.

  Usually, teasing Garhwali children’ songs are satirical and humorous.

               There such many local, regional and universal Garhwali children’s folk songs which are teasing and amusing.

     Logic Learning in Garhwali Children Folk Songs
                                                        Bhishma Kukreti

       The mode of reasoning is ‘Logic’. The Indian folk literature has been very rich in teaching logic to the next generation by old generation. This is the reason that philosopher Gautam created ‘ Nyay  Darshan’ more than two thousand years back.

  In Garhwal, there is tradition of teaching reasoning to children from early age. Garhwalis have been creating riddle poems for their children from the time the humanity settled in Garhwal. The following two children folk poems are proof that Garhwalis were conscious about teaching logic to their children from early age

  The songs are having four lines in a poem and the language is simple that children could understand easily


                                    पहेली बुझाने के गढवाली  बालगीत


          (गढ़वाली बालगीत, उत्तराखंडी बालगीत , हिमालयी बालगीत , भारतीय बालगीत )

                                                       ----1---       

                                     मुंड मा म्यारो छारु च , Ash is on my head

                                     इन च बुल्यां जोगी च    As if I am ascetic 

                                      पेट मेरो गगडाँदू   च   The stomach sounds in disorder 

                                      इन च बुल्यां रोगी च  As if  I am sick

                                                                     उत्तर : हुक्का  Answer: Hukka

                                                 -------- 2-----

                                     कूटत कूटत फूँकत फू

                                     थड़कत भड़कत भकडम भू

                                     मार सड़ाबड़ सपडम सू

                                                                          उत्तर पळयो , छ्न्छिंडा Answer palyo or Buttermilk  curry

 (सन्दर्भ : डा नंदकिशोर ढौंडियाल व डा मनोरमा ढौंडियाल कि पुस्तिका )

     There are other puzzle songs for children in Garhwali. There is remarkable tendency to teach children logically in Garhwali children folk songs
